Different Gemstones can mean a lot of things to a lot of different people. Semi-precious stones like Citrine, Peridot, Aquamarine, etc could represent a birthday or each once could represent a child in a Mother’s Day ring.
In some cultures different stones can even show meaning. For example green jade can be a wish of good luck. In the US most of us know what solitary diamond ring is for. There was recently a story about why Mark Zuckerberg bought a ruby engagement ring for his fiance (now wife).
I’ve also even heard that each month has a 2 different stones: a precious and a semi-precious. For instance, I’m an October baby. I always knew my birthstone was an Opal, but I noticed that a lot of birthstone jewelry had my stone represented as a pink stone. My parents went to get me Birthstone Jewelry one time as a gift, they were told the pink stone is actually pink Tourmaline. That’s when we were first told about each month having 2 stones from a jeweler.
I’m a bit of a jewerly nut though. I like anything that sparkles. I don’t just wear my birthstone, I also wear my husbands, and my children’s. I thought, why stop there? I’d like to have something in many different stones.
I received a loose 1.7 carat natural Citrine gemstone with an antique cushion cut. Citrines are one of November’s birthstone, I’ve also seen it listed as Topaz. I had a choice of a few gemstones but I actually didn’t own a Citrine yet. I’m debating on what I want to do with it. Will it be a ring? A pendant? Or perhaps embedded into a bangle bracelet? So many ideas. What do you think?

I would love the Citrine in your review because it is my daughters birthstone, but I also would like Aquamarine because I think it is so pretty.

If I won, I would use the stone for a ring for my daughter. She does not have a birthstone ring.
