BE STILL MY HEART:

CITRINE IS A LADY KILLER.

JUDITH RIPKA CITRINE NECKLACE, $450 AT NORDSTROM

Citrine. The planetary stone for the Sun Sign in Virgo. Bright and yellow (true to trend) and simply gorgeous with any color palette, citrine is a stone you can wear and wear with anything. Think of it as the edgier, sassier sister to the diamond. The sister who prefers a Mercedes (top down, chromes spinnin') over say, the Aston Martin. Never understated and reasonably priced, citrine is a stone for every woman. Often incorrectly identified as topaz, another beautiful, but slightly darker (and more expensive) stone, citrine is in a genre of yellow all its own. 

18 K GOLD PLATED CITRINE DROP EARRINGS, $260 AT NETAPORTER

I just picked my own citrine cocktail ring out at Hamilton Jewelers Pavilions. Set in white gold with pave diamonds, I will never part with it. Daniel Farley, Vice President of Hamilton Jewelers Pavilions, couldn't agree more. It's definitely a statement piece. Need he say more? Done and done. 

ALL CITRINE RINGS AVAILABLE AT HAMILTON JEWELERS, PRICE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

ALEXIS BITTAR CHAMPAGNE CITRINE DROP EARRINGS, $175 AVAILABLE AT NORDSTROM
(MICHELLE OBAMA WEARS THIS LINE!)

This season, when you're looking for a pop of color, think in stones, darling. The bigger, the better.
