Citrine's Birthstone History

Citrine was often mistaken for yellow topaz because of their very similar appearances. Topaz is the traditional birthstone for November, and the National Association of Jewellers added citrine as a modern birthstone in 1912.

A Bringer of Health and Happiness

In addition to being a symbol of happiness, the birthstone meaning of citrine also includes health, vitality, prosperity and good fortune. Like topaz, citrine is known to have a calming energy that soothes tempers and promotes a balanced mood. It can also be used to help the wearer get through difficult situations and protect them against bad luck.
