I don’t know why I’m so obsessed with citrines, but I think it must have something to do with the way that they are so still so wearable without being too “blingy”. Clearly the sentiment was the same in the 1800s, because some of the loveliest pieces imaginable were created with these elegant gemstones. 
 
This exquisitely crafted large brooch from the 1800s features the very unusual combination of a large, darker-amber-coloured citrine nestled within 6 paler citrines. A strong sterling silver setting is the perfect foil to the honeyed glow of these majestic gemstones. A versatile piece for day or evening, this striking brooch is the perfect mix of elegance, history and golden warmth.
