Citrine Quartz Ear Studs
Citrine is a variety of quartz whose color ranges from a pale yellow to brown due to ferric impurities. Brazil is the leading producer of citrine, with much of its production coming from the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The name is derived from the Latin word ‘citrina’ which means "yellow" and is also the origin of the word "citron". Sometimes citrine and amethyst can be found together in the same crystal, which is then referred to as ametrine. Citrine has been referred to as the "merchant's stone" or "money stone", due to a superstition that it would bring prosperity. Citrine was first appreciated as a golden-yellow gemstone in Greece between 300 and 150 BC, during the Hellenistic Age. The yellow quartz was used prior to that to decorate jewelry and tools but it was not highly sought after.
You can choose between rough and polished Citrine quartz.
The earrings will come with ear backs. These ear backs are crafted in clear plastic. The design features a soft, hypoallergenic material that slides onto the earring post, cushioning the ear and preventing loss of earrings. If you'd like silver ear backs, you can add the specific listing ''Silver ear backs'' to your cart.
All of the stones used in my pieces are all natural unless stated.
Every piece is entirely made by me using metalsmithing techniques in my studio in Italy.
