Durability & Light‑Performance
As a variety of Quartz, Citrine is a staple for artisans who require a “workhorse” gemstone. With a Mohs hardness of 7, these beads are resistant to scratching and ideal for everyday‑wear jewellery. We select our strands for their exceptional clarity and surface polish, ensuring strong, consistent light‑reflection across every facet.
The MGB Individual Photo Guarantee
Because Citrine can range from translucent pale lemon to deep golden ambers, we photograph every strand individually. This transparency eliminates the guesswork of sourcing online; you can see the exact tonal depth and internal life of the beads before they arrive at your studio. The strand you see is the one we ship from our Melbourne shop.
Design & Pairing: Navigating Warmth
The Texture Clash: Pair with Amazonite to contrast glass‑like brilliance with a soft, matte sea‑foam surface.
The Colour Wheel Anchor: Combine with Lapis Lazuli to intensify the golden saturation through high‑contrast colour theory.
The Visual Weight: Use Smoky Quartz as a translucent “shadow” to ground the Citrine’s heat for an understated aesthetic.
The Vintage Honey Palette : Pair with Garnet for a deep, jewel‑tone contrast. The saturated red adds richness and visual weight, while Citrine’s clarity lifts the palette, creating a warm, luxurious combination reminiscent of antique gold.
