November shines with warmth and radiance and its birthstones, Citrine and Topaz, capture that golden glow perfectly. Whether you’re celebrating a loved one’s birthday or simply want to treat yourself, these luminous gemstones bring joy, light, and a sense of calm to every day.
At Mulberry Greyton, we believe in everyday elegance: timeless, wearable designs crafted in sterling silver and natural gemstones. Join us as we explore the beauty and meaning of November’s two magnificent stones — Citrine and Topaz — and discover how to style them with grace and authenticity.

Citrine – The Stone of Sunshine and Success
Golden Light Captured in Quartz
Citrine is one of nature’s happiest gemstones. A variety of quartz, it glows with hues of lemon, honey, and amber — radiating the soft warmth of autumn sunshine. Its golden colour brightens any outfit and brings a sense of vitality to your day.
Durable and affordable, Citrine jewellery is perfect for daily wear. Its translucent sparkle looks exquisite when set in sterling silver, the cool tone of the metal enhancing Citrine’s natural warmth. At Mulberry Greyton, our Citrine pendants, silver earrings, and delicate rings are designed to bring this glow into your everyday wardrobe.
Symbolism and Meaning
Throughout history, Citrine has been cherished as the “merchant’s stone”, a symbol of prosperity, joy, and abundance. In modern times, it’s associated with positivity, confidence, and personal growth — an uplifting reminder to embrace each new day with optimism.
When gifted, a Citrine necklace or silver birthstone ring becomes a meaningful token of encouragement, making it one of the most thoughtful November birthday gifts you can give.
Why Citrine Loves Sterling Silver
Few combinations are as effortlessly elegant as Citrine in sterling silver. The metal’s mirror-like shine makes the gem’s golden tones glow even brighter. Whether it’s a subtle pair of Citrine stud earrings or a radiant Citrine drop pendant, each piece balances refinement with warmth — the essence of everyday elegance.
For those who love understated luxury, Citrine jewellery offers beauty that’s both timeless and affordable.
Topaz – The Traditional Birthstone of November
A Gem of Many Colours
Before Citrine became the modern favourite, Topaz reigned as November’s original birthstone. Beloved since ancient times, it was once thought to hold the power of the sun — bringing strength and vitality to its wearer.
Today, Topaz dazzles in a wide range of colours, from clear to sky-blue, blush pink, golden-yellow and the luxurious orange-gold known as Imperial Topaz. Each variety captures light in its own way, offering endless options for gemstone lovers.
The Meaning Behind Topaz
Topaz is often associated with love, friendship, and good fortune. It’s a gemstone that celebrates loyalty, communication, and emotional clarity — making it a deeply meaningful choice for romantic gifts or lifelong friendships.
Golden Topaz (Imperial Topaz): Symbolises abundance and generosity.
Blue Topaz: Represents calm, clarity, and truth.
Pink Topaz: Associated with affection and compassion.
Each colour tells a story — one of joy, connection, and strength — making Topaz jewellery an elegant expression of gratitude and affection.
Topaz in Sterling Silver
Just like Citrine, Topaz pairs beautifully with sterling silver, especially in designs that highlight its sparkle and purity. At Mulberry Greyton, our Blue Topaz silver earrings and Topaz birthstone rings blend modern simplicity with timeless appeal.
The cool tone of sterling silver enhances the gemstone’s clarity, while the stone’s natural brilliance brings the metal to life. Whether worn every day or saved for special moments, Topaz silver jewellery exudes effortless sophistication.
