Birthstone of the Month - Novmeber

I got a close look at a lot of birthstones when I was making this necklace for my mother-in-law, she has ten kids so I got to pick stones for almost all the months. I decided that one of my favorite stones is November, it's the fourth stone in the necklace. The orange tint of November is so unique, none of the other months have an orange color stone.

November - Citrine


Citrine is a yellow-orange variation of quartz. It can have different shades, ranging from a pale yellow to a dark brown. It can also sometimes have smokey shadows in it. According to tradition it can can instill feelings of warmth and hope. Looking at the happy orange color, I think it would make me feel happier and warmer to wear it.


Orange Amber


Although not officially listed as a birthstone for November orange Amber is a great option to use, especially if you want something a little brighter. I like my colors to be a little stronger so I love how much the orange in these earrings really pops.
