Citrine Gold Plated Teardrop Earrings
These Citrine Gold Plated Teardrop Earrings pair natural citrine gemstones with a gold-plated setting, finished in a teardrop cut for a warm, everyday sparkle.
The setting is gold plated, not solid gold - a thin layer of gold is applied over a base metal, which keeps the price accessible but means the plating can wear thinner over time with regular contact, moisture, and friction. The citrine itself is a natural quartz variety prized for its warm golden-yellow color, and in crystal tradition it is associated with the solar plexus, joy, and personal energy. They pair naturally with other pieces in our citrine and earrings collections.

Meaning & history
Citrine's sunny golden-yellow color has made it a popular stone for pieces meant to feel bright and energizing, and in crystal tradition it is linked to the solar plexus chakra and associated with joy, confidence, and positive energy. Pairing it with a warm gold-plated setting leans into that same golden, sunlit feeling for an everyday piece of jewelry. As always, these are traditional and symbolic associations, not medical claims.
How to use it
Wear them as everyday earrings, adding a warm point of color to both casual and dressed-up outfits. Because the setting is plated rather than solid gold, they are best treated as a lighter-rotation piece rather than daily, all-conditions wear if you want to preserve the finish as long as possible.
Care & cleansing
Because the setting is gold plated, not solid gold, the thin gold layer can wear down over time with friction, moisture, and chemical exposure. Remove them before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying perfume, lotion, or hairspray, and store them in a dry pouch or lined box away from other jewelry that could scratch the plating. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear; avoid jewelry cleaners, polishing compounds, or ultrasonic cleaners, which can strip plating faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these earrings solid gold?
No. The setting is gold plated - a thin layer of gold over a base metal - not solid gold, which keeps the price more accessible.
Will the gold plating wear off?
Yes, over time and with exposure to water, perfume, and friction the plating can thin or wear, which is normal for plated jewelry rather than a defect.
How do I make the plating last longer?
Remove the earrings before water exposure, swimming, and applying perfume or lotion, and store them away from other jewelry that could scratch the surface.
What chakra is Citrine associated with?
In crystal tradition, Citrine is linked to the solar plexus chakra and associated with joy, confidence, and positive energy.
Can I clean these earrings with jewelry cleaner?
Avoid harsh jewelry cleaners, polishing compounds, and ultrasonic cleaners, since they can strip plated gold faster than a soft, dry cloth.
Will my earrings look exactly like the photo?
Citrine is a natural stone, so color intensity and clarity vary slightly piece to piece, and yours may differ a little from the reference photo.
These earrings are a decorative accessory, not a health product or medical device.
