What is the Birthstone for November?
November has two birthstones, citrine and topaz, and for centuries the two were so alike in colour that they were treated as one. Citrine was once called gold topaz before science gave each its own identity. Both share a history of warmth, protection and meaning that spans ancient civilisations.
Citrine has been treasured since ancient Greece, where it was carved into ornaments. It was also fashioned into rings by Roman priests. It was particularly beloved in Victorian-era Scotland, where its warm amber tones featured prominently in the jewellery of the period. Known as the Merchant's Stone, citrine has long been believed to attract wealth, block negative energy, and soothe the spirit. It is also given as a gift to celebrate a thirteenth wedding anniversary, making it a meaningful gift for partners.
Topaz carries its own wonderful history. It is believed that topaz worn above the heart assures beauty and intelligence. A birthstone necklace is the most meaningful way to wear it.
What is the November Birthstone colour?
The November birthstone colour is warm golden yellow, the colour of candlelight, autumn leaves, and afternoon sun in the last weeks of the year. Citrine's colour ranges from pale lemon to deep amber, and its transparency gives it a glow that catches the light in a way few other stones can. Topaz crystal carries that same warmth, adding golden richness to the collection's palette. Together they make November one of the most distinctly coloured months in the birthstone calendar: golden, glowing and rich with the energy of the season.
