Combining citrine with other materials

For a professional look, the combination of colors and materials is essential. Citrine goes very well with :

1. Gilded metal: brass gilded with fine gold, gilded stainless steel or Gold Filled accentuate its solar reflections.
2. Other gemstones: pair withamethyst for a bold purple/yellow contrast, or with smoky quartz for an autumnal harmony.
3. Minimalist style: a simple drop pearl on a fine chain is all it takes to create an elegant piece of jewelry.

Citrine care tips

Although citrine is a resistant stone (hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale), it deserves careful care. Avoid prolonged exposure to intense heat, which could alter its color. For cleaning, a soft cloth and a little soapy water are all that's needed to restore its original lustre.
