925 Sterling Silver Natural Citrine & CZ Teardrop Stud Earrings
Every other earring in this collection is set with a synthetic stone — a CZ, a nano stone, a synthetic corundum, a shell pearl. This one is different. The citrine in this earring is natural — a genuine mineral crystal formed in the earth over millions of years, extracted from the ground, cut and polished by hand, and set in 925 sterling silver. Natural citrine is the yellow-to-orange variety of quartz — the warm, sunny stone that the ancient Romans called "lapis Judaicus" and wore as a talisman against evil, the stone that the Scots set in the handles of their ceremonial daggers, the stone that Art Deco jewelers prized for its warm golden color that complemented the yellow gold of the era. It is the November birthstone — the stone of sunshine, abundance, and the warmth that carries through the coldest months. This 925 sterling silver stud earring sets a natural citrine main stone in the geometric teardrop shape alongside white zircon CZ accent stones in the inlay technique, in 14K gold plating, at 1.35g. The earring that carries a piece of the earth on the earlobe.
Why You'll Love It
-
Natural Citrine — A Genuine Gemstone — The citrine in this earring is natural — a genuine mineral crystal formed in the earth, not a synthetic stone. Natural citrine is the yellow-to-orange variety of quartz, the warm, sunny stone whose color comes from trace amounts of iron within the crystal structure — the color that no two natural citrines share in exactly the same way, because no two natural gemstones are identical. The earring that is unique because the stone at its center is unique.
-
The November Birthstone — Citrine is the November birthstone — the golden stone that represents sunshine, abundance, and the warmth that carries through the coldest months of the year. The natural citrine teardrop stud is the perfect November birthday gift, the birthstone earring that delivers the color and meaning of genuine citrine in 925 sterling silver fine jewelry — the gift that carries a piece of the earth and the meaning of the month.
-
Geometric Teardrop Design — The natural citrine set in the geometric teardrop shape — the elongated silhouette that makes the warm golden color of the citrine appear most graceful and most luminous, the shape that gives the natural stone the most flattering frame. The geometric setting that gives the organic natural stone a contemporary, architectural precision.
-
White CZ Accent Stones — White zircon CZ accent stones set in the inlay technique alongside the natural citrine main stone — the diamond-look brilliance of the white CZ creating a sparkling contrast with the warm golden center, the combination of warm citrine and cool white CZ making both stones appear more vivid and more beautiful than either would alone.
-
14K Gold Plating — The Natural Pairing — 14K gold plating — the warm, classic finish that harmonizes perfectly with the warm golden color of the natural citrine, creating an earring where the metal and the stone appear to be made for each other. The gold and citrine combination that Art Deco jewelers understood a century ago and that remains the most natural and most beautiful pairing for this stone.
