Citrine
Citrine is a golden variety of mineral quartz that has been treasured as a gift from the sun since antiquity.
Coloured by iron, it features a warm glow that ranges from lemony yellow to Madeira, a rich orange colour with red flashes.
Citrine is a durable stone with a Mohs scale value of 7 thus making it suitable for all jewellery applications.
In history, the stone was desired by many including the Ancient Greek, Ancient Egyptians and Ancient Romans who fashioned the stone into talismans, believing that citrine could promote serenity, prosperity and aid in the manifestation of desires.
Owing to its physical toughness and desirable colour, citrine remains a popular gemstone today.

Stud Earrings: responsibly sourced sterling silver and emerald cut citrines.
The date palm is a frequently honoured symbol that has long been a sign of prosperity in the Middle East. It appears in the religious text of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. To the Greeks and Romans it symbolised victory and to the Egyptians fertility. The stylized date palm’s design used in these bright and graceful earrings is inspired by the Half Shekel coin of the Jewish Commonwealth 69-70 CE (minted during the First Revolt ) which depicts a palm tree flanked by two harvest baskets.
