Four Elements: Citrine Glow

Nov 1

What's your birthstone? It's kind of like your birthday but in gorgeous gemstone form. It's something to celebrate. The ancient Greeks believed everything was made of four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. We believe every birthstone month deserves (at least) four jewelry wishes. Happy birthstone!

Get cozy with November’s healing quartz

One of November’s birthstones, citrine, promotes vitality and energy. The word “citrine” comes from the Latin word “lemon,” and its citrusy tone brightens the wearer with its sunshine vibes. Citrine is like a gem dose of vitamin C, something we all need now with the cooling temps and first rains. Whether you’re a November baby or not, these pieces will undoubtedly bring you some cheer. Brew some turmeric tea, curl up with a book, you’re golden.
