Citrine: The Sunlit Stone of Abundance

Vintage citrine jewelry set with golden gemstones sparkling against a white background

Citrine derives its name from the French word citron—lemon. And truly, there’s no better way to describe this glowing gem than a slice of sunshine captured in stone. Its vibrant golden hues have long been associated with joy, energy, and prosperity.

Known as the merchant’s stone or the stone of abundance, citrine has gained a reputation for attracting wealth and success. For centuries, business owners and traders kept citrine close, believing it would draw prosperity their way. Today, it still makes an ideal talisman for entrepreneurs, salespeople, and anyone chasing their dreams.

A Touch of the Amalfi Coast

If you’ve ever strolled the Amalfi Coast with the sun warming your shoulders, a glass of limoncello in hand, and the sea sparkling below—you already know the spirit of citrine. Wearing this golden gemstone is like carrying a little bit of that Italian sunshine with you wherever you go.

Why Citrine Speaks to So Many

  • Wealth & Success: Believed to invite abundance, perfect for new ventures and bold goals.

  • Energy & Vitality: Its bright color inspires confidence, optimism, and creativity.

  • Everyday Radiance: From delicate vintage rings to bold cocktail pieces, citrine jewelry shines in any setting.

Whether you’re slipping on a citrine ring for luck before a big meeting or gifting a loved one a piece to celebrate a milestone, this gemstone carries both beauty and meaning.

The Vintage Appeal

In vintage and estate jewelry, citrine often appears in bold Art Deco settings, dramatic cocktail rings from the 1940s, and sunny pendants that feel timeless. Each piece tells a story of joy and hope, passed down from one generation to the next.

So the next time you see citrine sparkling in the sunlight, let it remind you not only of abundance but also of life’s brightest moments. Like laughter over limoncello, it’s a gem that warms the soul.
