Yellow Gemstones and Orange Gemstones

Yellow & Orange Gemstone Jewelry

Yellow gemstones and orange gemstones in our catalog are citrine, the yellow to orange variety of quartz. Its colour runs from pale lemon through honey and golden yellow to a deep amber that reads orange in warm light. Citrine is silicon dioxide with a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, and it is one of the November birthstones. Most citrine sold today gets its colour from heating a purple or brown quartz, and citrine that formed naturally is much rarer and usually paler.

A hardness of 7 suits earrings and pendants for daily wear without fuss. A ring worn every day meets quartz grit in ordinary dust, which slowly dulls the polish on the top of the stone, so a bezel or a halo that shields the corners is the better setting for an everyday ring. A stone cut with a flat table shows wear sooner than a domed one, and a deeper colour hides it better than a pale one.

Yellow gold deepens golden and amber citrine, and rose gold pushes the same stone toward sunset orange. White gold and platinum give the paler lemon stones a cooler, cleaner edge, and white diamond accents around the stone add sparkle against the warm colour. Citrine is generally an affordable stone at large sizes, which is why it suits statement pieces. The prices on the cards above come from the live listings.
