If you’re seeking a special piece to mark a November birthday or add a unique element to your jewellery collection, choose topaz or citrine. Both are radiant gemstones, each with character and a story all of their own.

At our Hatton Garden jewellery shop, we have a huge range of vintage and antique pieces. Our ever-changing collection spans centuries, from Georgian elegance to Art Deco artistry, through to the glamour of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, and into the late twentieth century.

The Golden Glow of Topaz

Topaz is widely known for its rich, golden-yellow hue, but it also comes in a range of colors, from pale blue to deep amber, pink, and even green. November’s topaz, often referred to as “Imperial Topaz,” is prized for its golden to reddish-orange tones, reminding us of a warm Autumnall sunset.

Topaz has a long history of use in jewelry, particularly during the Georgian and Victorian eras when it was cherished for its versatility. For those who love antique jewellery, topaz is a timeless gem with a regal history and a symbol of strength and wisdom. 

Symbolism and Healing Properties of Topaz

In ancient lore, topaz was believed to bring clarity, calm, and protection. Some say it’s a stone of loyalty and friendship, making it a wonderful gift for a loved one born in November. For those who value gemstone symbolism, topaz is thought to support emotional balance, reduce stress, and inspire creativity.

Citrine: The Stone of Happiness and Abundance

Citrine, with its cheerful yellow to orange hues, is a November birthstone that symbolizes joy, prosperity, and positivity. This sunny gemstone is often found in vintage and antique jewellery, from Edwardian rings to Art Deco pendants and brooches. 

During the 1940s and 50s, citrine saw a surge in popularity, particularly in Hollywood, where its bright hue complemented the glamour of the era. Our collection includes many stunning citrine pieces from this period, each a piece of history ready to be worn and loved.

Symbolism and Healing Properties of Citrine

Known as the “merchant’s stone” for its reputed ability to attract wealth, citrine is believed to bring luck, confidence, and success. Many also believe citrine can help release negative energy, making it a gem that’s as uplifting as it is beautiful. Whether set in a ring, necklace, or brooch, citrine is a wonderful stone to wear if you want to invite a little extra happiness and positivity into your life.
