Citrine Gold Plated Teardrop Pendant

Citrine is a golden-yellow variety of quartz, traditionally linked to abundance, joy, and positivity. This teardrop-shaped citrine pendant is edged in gold plating and comes on an included gold-plated chain, so it's ready to wear straight out of the box. The warm golden-honey stone sits inside a matching teardrop frame.

Quick facts

Meaning & history

Citrine is the bright, sunny stone of abundance, joy, and positivity in crystal tradition, often called the merchant's stone for its long association with good fortune. The teardrop shape is a classic pendant silhouette, simple enough for daily wear and eye-catching enough to stand on its own. As with all our citrine, this stone's golden color typically comes from heat treatment of amethyst or smoky quartz, a standard, long-disclosed practice in the crystal trade.

How to wear it

Since the chain is included, this one is ready to wear the moment it arrives — no separate chain to shop for. Wear it as an everyday piece, a small reminder to stay open to abundance and positivity, or layer it with other necklaces for a fuller look.

Care & cleansing

Remove the pendant before showering, swimming, or applying lotion or perfume, since water and chemicals can wear down gold plating over time. Citrine itself is quartz (Mohs 7) and can handle a brief rinse if needed, but skip prolonged soaking or salt, which can dull both the stone and the plated chain. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear and store away from other jewelry to avoid scratches.
