Oro Verde Citrineby ~Nambroth

Artisan Crafts / Jewelry

This is a Citrine carefully hand wrapped in Argentium sterling silver.

Citrine is a lovely golden type of quartz! This one is called 'oro verde' and this type of citrine is known for its slightly green tint. This is irradiated quartz (And truly, most critrine on the market today is amethyst/quartz that has been heat treated). The stone is not man-made, but helped along to it's final color by man (as are nearly all citrines). This one is very yellow-green, though the exact hue is up to the beholder (my father and I are always arguing over things this color. Is it green? Yellow? You decide).

I hand wrap these pieces with nothing more than my fingers and a tiny pair of pliers. I purchase the stones already polished from rock and gem shows.

Thanks for looking.
