Faceted pale yellow citrine pendant in organic sterling silver

This is a handmade sterling silver pendant set with a natural, very light yellow citrine, an oval stone cut with facets, fabricated by Roozbeh at the Rooz Jewellery studio in Toronto, Canada. Where Rooz cabochons glow softly, this stone is cut to sparkle: its many small facets catch the light and throw it back in bright flashes, a pale, champagne-like yellow that looks airy rather than bold. The organic silver around it is shaped by hand and left slightly uneven, so the clean cut of the gem sits against a more natural, rock-like setting. Citrine is the November birthstone and a form of quartz at 7 on the Mohs scale, a sturdy choice for daily wear; a soft cloth and a little warm, soapy water keep the facets clear. The stone may vary very slightly in colour from the photograph. It comes on a 16-inch sterling silver chain, and Roozbeh will quote you first if you would like a different length.
