Care and Cleaning
Citrine is a member of the quartz mineral family and is a relatively hardy gemstone but may scratch is handled incorrectly so care should always be taken when wearing, taking off or putting on your jewellery. 
 
To prolong the life of the stones we recommend putting your jewellery on after any makeup, hair products or lotions. 
 
Citrine’s vivid orange colour can fade if exposed to high temperatures or direct sunlight for prolong periods of time so be sure to store you citrine jewellery away from sunlight. 
Most citrine on the market today started off as pale amethyst, the colour is then transformed to vivid orange’s and yellow’s using heat treatment. This is a stable and undetectable treatment under normal wearing conditions and is routinely used. 
 
Citrine is usually fine to be ultrasonic cleaned but steam cleaning should be avoided as the student temperature change may cause the stone to fracture. You can also clean your citrine jewellery from home using a jewellery and gemstone dip or cloth which can be purchased from us, or with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
