Citrin Schmuck – ein Symbol purer Lebensfreude
The radiant yellow citrine stands for pure joie de vivre like no other gemstone. With its warm color palette, it conjures up a sunny and friendly atmosphere just by looking at it. Together with rock crystal and amethyst, citrine is one of the most popular gemstones and is particularly popular with those who like to surround themselves with precious stones. Citrine is a member of the quartz family - but more on that in a moment.
The name of the yellow citrine comes from the Latin word "citrus", which means "lemon". In this case, the expression "nomen est omen" fits perfectly, as this name refers to the characteristic yellow color of the citrine gemstone, which is reminiscent of the radiant yellow of lemons.
Citrine is an extremely popular gemstone, whether as a necklace, pendant, sparkling earrings or elegant bracelet. Thanks to its high Mohs hardness of 7, it is ideal for jewelry making and can easily accompany us through all everyday activities. Due to its high hardness, citrine is quite robust as it does not split.
