Radiant in hues of warm golden amber to deep brandy tones touched with red, these smooth Brandy Citrine puffed teardrop beads offer the rich, glowing warmth designers and collectors prize. Hand-cut and top-drilled, each bead reveals subtle transitions of yellow, orange and reddish-gold—colors developed through expert heat treatment of iron-bearing quartz.
In its natural state, citrine can range from pale yellow to smoky brown; careful heating enhances the deep whiskey and brandy shades admired in high-quality material. This 8-inch strand features approximately 55 beads, each polished to a luminous shine. Their petite drill holes make them ideal for fine-gauge wire, refined earrings and delicate stringing designs.
A cherished variety of quartz, citrine has long been associated with prosperity, confidence and uplifting energy. Often called the Merchant’s Stone, it is believed to inspire clarity, intuition and positive focus while helping to dispel negativity. Citrine is also November’s birthstone, adding personal significance to finished jewelry pieces.
