 Comments

Frequently throughout the 17th century citrine was used to adorn the hilts of daggers used by Scottish warriors. Later in the 19th century, Queen Victoria became a great lover of citrine, and largely due to the Queen's fascination with the gem, it became a popular gemstone for traditional Scottish kilt pins and shoulder brooches.

Citrine again rose to prominence during the Art Deco period when large statement gems were in vogue and vintage cocktail rings were the height of fashion.

Natural citrine is very rare, and today most citrine quartz is the result of heat treatment of amethyst quartz. The original hue of the amethyst can determine the resulting richness of the citrine’s colouration.
