The name Citrine is derived from the colour - the yellow of lemon. Citrine is also known as Gold Topaz and is the birthstone for November.

Ancient cultures believed that placing a Citrine on the forehead of an elder would increase his psychic power.

The Citrine’s sparkle and have a crisp, radiant quality about them.

Scottish jewellery grew in popularity in the mid- 1800s as Queen Victoria’s frequent trips to her Scottish Castle Balmoral saw her return with Scottish souvenirs and jewellery which influenced the trend in Britain.

The piece is marked with a Scottish kite hallmark, and features engraved silverwork which holds the stones firmly in place. A fantastic piece steeped in history, and one to be treasured.
