November babies are lucky babies, with two beautiful birthstones to dazzle in: topaz and citrine. While citrine is, as the name suggests, a citrus-inspired yellow-hued warm golden colour (linked to the French word for lemon citron), topaz can be found in a spectrum of shades, from light blue, violet and brown to yellow, orange, pink and, very rarely, red. Fittingly, it is believed this vibrant, many-hued nature is the reason the word topaz comes from tapas, the Sanskrit word for fire.
Dating back to ancient times, citrine and topaz have always been popular gemstones and often been confused as having the same spiritual powers including providing strength, releasing negative traits such as anger and finding peace. For years, in certain Indian cultures, topaz worn above the heart is believed to assure long life, beauty and intelligence.
Whether you lean in to these beliefs or not, wearing gemstone jewellery in these nature-inspired colours will add a sense of joie de vivre to your look and feel. And for those who like celebrating wedding anniversaries with jewellery, blue topaz marks four years, while citrine three decades. Here’s our pick of the best citrine and topaz birthstone jewellery for November.
