About topaz and citrine, the November birthstones
November is one of the months with two birthstones on the UK list: topaz and citrine. Golden topaz is the traditional November stone, while citrine, a sunny yellow variety of quartz, shares the same warm colouring. Between them they cover shades from pale lemon to deep honey and amber.
What do the November birthstones mean?
Both stones are linked with warmth, joy and friendship. Citrine's name is thought to come from the French word for lemon, and it is often called a stone of positivity, while topaz has long been associated with strength and good fortune.
Choosing November birthstone jewellery
A golden-toned pendant or a pair of studs adds a little warmth to everyday outfits, and pairs especially well with gold. Charms are an easy way to add November to a bracelet they already wear. Our Argento Silver birthstone necklaces can be engraved with an initial on the back, and Pandora birthstone heart charms with a short message: see our engravable birthstone jewellery, or browse our birthday gifts for more ideas.
Caring for your November jewellery
Take your jewellery off before swimming, bathing or applying perfume, and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Store each piece separately so stones and silver stay scratch-free.
