It is a new month and therefore I get to research and think about a new, fabulous and beautiful birthstone. And this month it is the citrine, one of my personal favorites.

The citrine is named after the French word “citrin” meaning lemon. And it will always hold a special place in my heart and on my hand because my very first Isadora’s piece of jewelry was a fantastic whiskey colored 1950’s citrine cocktail ring, a gift from Isadora’s owner. I wear it regularly to this day.

There is not much legend attached to the citrine but there doesn’t need to be. The beauty of the stone speaks for itself. Sometimes a lemony yellow color and at other times a warm, whiskey hue, it is a stone complex and inviting.

We all have our own connections to stones and to the visual world in general but for me the citrine is a stone that feels simultaneously comfortable and sexy There is something so natural and warm about the stones golden color and yet it still has that fire and sparkle that makes it oh so much more.
