November — Citrine & Topaz

Citrine has been called the merchant's stone for so long that the reason has almost been forgotten. It was kept where money was counted — not as a charm, as a habit.

Topaz has been carrying somebody else's name for two thousand years. Pliny recorded a green stone from an island in the Red Sea and called it topazos; the island produced peridot. The name stuck to the wrong mineral and never came off.

November has both on the modern list. We set both.

Or the colour, at entry price: the November Month in Colour necklace → — gold-plated solid silver with an amber baguette, cut from cubic zirconia rather than citrine.
