Questions and answers

Is citrine durable enough for daily wear?

Citrine rates about 7 on the Mohs scale, so it resists everyday knocks but can scratch and chip with hard impacts. It is fine for regular wear with care, but take it off for gym sessions, gardening and cleaning.

Is the gold solid or plated?

It is 14K yellow gold, so the color runs through the metal rather than sitting in a plating that wears off. That makes it a better long-term buy than gold-plated or vermeil rivals.

How does this compare with a diamond pendant?

The citrine gives you a much larger colored stone and a diamond halo for sparkle at a fraction of an all-diamond pendant's cost. You trade some hardness and brilliance for size and warmth.

What chain comes with it?

It comes on a fine gold chain matched to the pendant, usually with a spring-ring or lobster clasp. Check the listed length before buying if you prefer a longer drop.

Is it a good birthstone gift?

Citrine is the November birthstone, so it suits November birthdays and fall anniversaries. The pear halo design also works as a general occasion gift.

How should I clean it?

Use warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, then dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, which can damage the citrine.
