Oval Citrine Pendant Necklace 2.50tcw 14kt Yellow Gold

This Oval Citrine Pendant Necklace centres a 2.50ct natural oval-cut citrine in a clean prong setting in 14kt yellow gold. The golden-yellow colour of citrine pairs naturally with yellow gold metal, the warm tones complement each other rather than competing, producing a unified visual that reads as both warm and bright. At 0.70 by 0.30 inches and 1.45g of 14kt yellow gold, this is a smaller daily-wearable citrine pendant in our 14kt yellow gold collection. Citrine is the November birthstone, which makes this piece a natural gift for a November birthday.

About the Citrine

The centre stone is a 2.50ct natural mined citrine, with the warm golden-yellow colour for which citrine is known. Citrine is a variety of quartz coloured by trace iron content, the same mineral family as amethyst (which is purple quartz). Most citrine on the market today is heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz that has been heated to bring out the yellow colour, this is a standard and accepted practice in the gem trade and is not the same as a synthetic or lab-created stone. Citrine registers 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, durable enough for pendant wear with reasonable care.

About the Setting

The 14kt yellow gold setting (585 purity) holds the centre citrine in a four-prong mount. At 1.45g of 14kt yellow gold, this is a daily-wear pendant by metal weight, comfortable to layer with other chains or wear continuously without weighing down the chain. Citrine pairs particularly well with yellow gold because both share warm tonal characteristics, white gold or platinum can dampen citrine's golden colour, while yellow gold amplifies it.

Choosing Between Our Citrine Pendant Styles

Within our citrine pendant collection, this Oval Citrine Pendant is the minimalist, daily-wear option, the centre stone is the focus, the setting stays out of the way, and the pricing reflects an accessible entry tier. If you prefer a more decorative citrine pendant with a flower-arrangement design, see our Pear-Shape Citrine Flower Pendant Necklace (also 2.50tcw of natural citrine, also 14kt yellow gold, but in a sculpted floral setting at 2.50g of gold and $575). Both pendants use the same stone weight in the same metal grade, the difference is design philosophy and pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the citrine natural?

Yes. The 2.50ct centre citrine is a natural quartz gemstone, not synthetic or lab-created. Like most citrine in fine jewelry today, it is likely heat-treated to bring out the yellow colour, this is a standard and accepted practice in the trade and does not make the stone synthetic.

How does this compare to the Pear-Shape Citrine Flower Pendant?

Both are natural citrine pendants in 14kt yellow gold with the same 2.50tcw stone weight. This Oval Citrine Pendant is the minimalist daily-wear option (1.45g of gold, simple prong setting, $325). The Pear-Shape Citrine Flower Pendant is the decorative option (2.50g of gold, sculpted flower setting, $575). Choose based on design preference.

Is the metal real 14kt gold?

Yes. The setting is real 14kt yellow gold (purity 585), not gold-plated or gold-filled metal.

Can citrine be worn daily?

Yes. Citrine registers 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, durable enough for daily pendant wear. Avoid hard impact, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight (which can cause some citrine colour to fade slowly over many years).

Does the price include a chain?

Please contact us to confirm chain availability and length options. The smaller pendant size pairs well with thinner 14kt yellow gold chains in 16 to 18 inch lengths for daily wear.
