About Citrine
Citrine is the yellow to red-orange variety of quartz, from light lemon yellow to deep "Madeira" orange.
- Birthstone
- November
- Hardness
- 7 (Mohs)
- Everyday wear
- With a hardness of 7 and good toughness, citrine handles normal wear well and can be used in any type of jewellery.
- Care
- Warm, soapy water is the recommended way to clean citrine; avoid steam cleaning and high heat, which can crack the stone or fade heat-treated material.
- Meaning and tradition
- Because citrine was long confused with topaz, it was traditionally credited with topaz's powers, and it was believed to soothe tempers and calm the wearer. Its name is thought to come from the French "citron" (lemon).
About Ruby
Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum, ranging from orangy red to purplish red. Its colour comes from traces of chromium, and more chromium gives a stronger red.
- Birthstone
- July
- Hardness
- 9 (Mohs)
- Everyday wear
- Ruby is very hard with excellent toughness and no cleavage, so it resists breaking and suits rings worn every day.
- Care
- Warm, soapy water is always safe. Ultrasonic and steam cleaning are usually fine for untreated or heat-treated ruby, but glass-filled, cavity-filled or dyed stones should only be wiped with a damp cloth and kept away from even mild acids such as lemon juice.
- Meaning and tradition
- Traditionally associated with passion, love and life, because early cultures linked its red colour to blood. In folklore, Burmese warriors believed ruby made them invincible, and in India it was thought to help its owner live peacefully with rivals.
About Topaz
Topaz has an exceptionally wide colour range, including colourless, blue, brown, yellow, orange, pink, red and purple. Colourless topaz is plentiful and is often treated to turn it blue.
- Birthstone
- November
- Hardness
- 8 (Mohs)
- Everyday wear
- Topaz is hard but has a cleavage direction that can split with a hard knock, so protective settings help, and it is well suited to pendants and earrings.
- Care
- Clean with warm water and mild soap; avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaners, high heat and sudden temperature changes. Coated topaz should never be cleaned with abrasives or on a buffing wheel.
- Meaning and tradition
- In folklore, the ancient Greeks believed topaz gave them strength, and in Renaissance Europe it was thought to break magic spells and dispel anger. In Indian tradition, wearing it above the heart was said to bring beauty and intelligence.
Meanings and traditions are beliefs people have held about these stones, not proven effects, and are no substitute for medical advice.
