Loose Yellow Citrine Gemstone

Citrine

While it's unclear if the citrine gem got its name from the citrus plant, what is clear is they do have colors in common. Citrine is a yellow version of quartz and comes in a range of colors from yellow to orange. A fun fact about citrines is some are amethysts that have had a heat treatment. If you love the 1920's and anything Art Deco, then citrine gems are for you. Yellow gemstones add a vintage flair to your wardrobe. They are also a perfect gift for people with a November birthday or who are celebrating their 13th wedding anniversary.
 

Yellow Diamond Loose Stone

Yellow Diamond

Colorless diamonds may come to mind when you think of this sparkling gem, but diamonds come in many colors besides clear. A yellow diamond can be a subtle way to add color to the wardrobe. Yellow diamonds are often soft or light yellow. In certain lighting they can take a gold look, so they're often paired with white gold to help the gems stand out.
