Citrine bead necklace 8 mm - 55mm

Citrine Bead Necklace: Sun Gold as a Wearable Companion

Citrine beads are evenly rounded beads made of genuine citrine – a golden yellow to honey-colored quartz mineral that has been prized for centuries for its warm radiance and luminous color. This handcrafted necklace combines carefully cut citrine beads with a diameter of 8 mm into an elegant 55 mm long composition, which is just as convincing as a piece of jewelry as it is as a personal energy companion from nature.

What Makes Citrine Special as a Gemstone?

Citrine belongs to the quartz mineral family and gets its characteristic yellow-orange color from natural iron inclusions in the crystal lattice. Mineralogically speaking, it is one of the few quartz varieties that occur in this warm color palette ranging from lemon yellow to deep honey brown. In crystal healing lore, citrine is traditionally known as the "stone of light" – according to tradition, it is said to promote joy and a positive basic mood as well as to support inner well-being.

Wearing and Caring for Citrine Beads – How to Make Your Jewelry Last Longer

Citrine reaches a Mohs hardness of 7, making it solid enough for everyday use as a piece of jewelry. Nevertheless, we recommend protecting the necklace from prolonged contact with chlorinated water, strong cleaning agents, or perfumes, as these can attack the surface of the citrine beads. For cleaning, a soft, slightly dampened cloth is sufficient – completely without chemicals. Store your necklace separately from other jewelry to avoid scratches.
