Citrine Bracelets for November Birthday Girls


Citrine is the birthstone for November and though I'm not a November birthday girl, it is one of my favorite gemstones.

Shown above is a one of a kind sweet flower bracelet with citrine and mother of pearl flower bracelet at Bittersweet Ridge Jewelry. The flower and leaves are hand carved. When I added the citrine to this piece it just felt so happy!


A little bolder and a bit Boho, this cherry blossom flower bracelet is a luscious combination of cherry quartz and sunshine yellow citrine.  It, too, is a one of a kind piece at Bittersweet Ridge Jewelry.

Citrine symbolizes individuality and confidence, light heartedness and joy.  It is said to enhance mental clarity and creativity, as well as combat stress and depression.  Historically, Greeks and Romans used citrine during the first and second centuries, wearing it as a protective talisman.

Vintage Cameo Wedding Gift Anklet for a Bride


I recently created a custom ankle bracelet for a bride to wear at her wedding.  Working with one of three aunts, the goal:  an ankle bracelet that represented something old, something new, and something blue.  


The finished anklet included:
  • a vintage cameo in ivory with two roses in full bloom
  • Citrine - a gemstone representing joy - to coordinate with the wedding and engagement rings
  • four brilliantly faceted blue topaz colored crystal rondelles to represent the four aunts of the bride
  • lots of natural mother of pearl beads.
What a pleasure it was working with Patty to create a very special wedding gift which is sure to evoke joyful memories.

Ice Storm Citrine Floral Bracelet from Bittersweet Ridge Jewelry

Ice Storm Floral Gemstone Bracelet
from Bittersweet Ridge Jewelry
We live in the country so I shudder whenever the weather forecast includes a chance of freezing rain.  No electricity means no running water and a myriad of other inconveniences.  However, when we do have an ice storm, I never fail to notice the incredible beauty Mother Nature gives us.  For me, ice storms are truly bittersweet.

Thus inspired this gemstone bracelet in clear rock crystal quartz and gorgeous citrine gemstones.  It's a chunky bracelet suggesting a flower caught in an ice storm. Fat natural clear rock crystal quartz beads are accented with sterling silver. All framing a hand carved quartz flower accented with big fat faceted Citrine. Lovely carving details. Brilliantly faceted Citrine gemstone bead.
