Item # 5413: Rio Grande Citrine and Topaz Pendant

Product Description

Robert Michael is proud to say that this piece is one of his custom designs, made of Sterling Silver.  Since this is Robert’s design, he can cast this setting in 14kt White or Yellow Gold, and accommodate your choice of gems.  A fully customizable piece.

Separately, Robert purchased several “Rio Grande” Citrine crystal from a mining operation in the town of Ametista do Sul, located in the Rio Grande do Sul region in Southern Brazil.

Citrine occurs naturally in a wide variety of yellow colors, all of which are caused by varying quantities of iron atoms in the Citrine crystal structure.  We often see very pale or almost colorless Citrine.  With higher quantities of iron, we see wine-yellow, honey-yellow, and saffron-yellow specimens, while others have quite a pronounced brown tinge.  These Rio Grande crystals are often referred to “Red” Citrine.

Separately, Robert purchased several “Rio Grande” Citrine crystals from a mining operation in the town of Ametista do Sul, located in the Rio Grande do Sul region in Southern Brazil.

Robert faceted one of these crystals into this 11x11mm trillion-shaped gemstone, weighing 3.55 carats.   He then set the Citrine gemstone in the piece, along with a 5mm round White Topaz accent gemstone.  A lovely combination for a One-of-a-Kind Pendant.

Citrine is one of the November Birthstones.
