Citrine Gold Plated Heart Earrings
Citrine is a golden-yellow variety of quartz traditionally associated with abundance and joy. These earrings set natural citrine stones in a gold-plated heart-shaped setting, so the golden hearts catch the light with a cheerful, sunlit glow. Because citrine is a natural stone, the color depth varies from pair to pair.

Meaning & history
In crystal tradition, citrine is associated with abundance, joy, and the solar plexus chakra — a warm, energizing counterpart to cooler-toned stones. A bright everyday piece, these earrings sit alongside the rest of our citrine collection and our wider earrings selection.
How to wear it
These are made for easy, everyday wear. Put them in last, after applying lotion, perfume, or hairspray, to help protect the gold plating.
Care & cleansing
The setting is gold-plated rather than solid gold, so wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store them away from moisture and chemicals. Remove before swimming, showering, or applying skincare products to extend the life of the plating. This is a decorative jewelry piece and not a health product or medical device.
Frequently asked questions
What are these earrings and what are they for?
They're natural citrine stones set in a gold-plated heart-shaped setting, worn as everyday earrings. They're a decorative jewelry piece — not a health product or medical device.
Are they water-safe?
It's best to remove them before showering, swimming, or washing hands with them on. The gold-plated setting can wear thin with repeated moisture and chemical exposure over time.
Can I wear them every day, or in the sun?
Yes, they're designed for everyday wear. Normal sunlight is fine; just avoid pools, hot tubs, and perfume contact, which are the most common causes of plating wear.
How do I cleanse and charge citrine?
Many people cleanse citrine with sound, sage or palo santo smoke, or brief sunlight (citrine is one of the few stones that generally doesn't fade in the sun). Avoid soaking, since these are plated earrings.
How can I tell my citrine is genuine?
Natural citrine tends to have a warm, slightly smoky golden tone with subtle color variation, while much commercial "citrine" is actually heat-treated amethyst with a more uniform, orange-tinted color — both are genuine quartz, but true untreated citrine is rarer.
What pairs well with citrine?
Citrine is often paired with amethyst, since heat-treated amethyst is the source of much commercial citrine, or with clear quartz to brighten and amplify its warm energy.
