Yellow gemstones are terrific at brightening your spirit with their bold and vibrant hues. Check out our top three picks of yellow gems that are great for jewelry and joyful vibes.
Citrine
Did you know citrine’s name comes from citron, a French word for “lemon”? Appearing in a radiant array of colors from deep oranges to vibrant yellow, citrine is a variety of quartz and a November birthstone that brings a lot of zest to the table.
If that doesn’t leave you hungry for more, citrine’s sunny radiance has been believed to repel negative energy and brighten up your mood. And that’s not to mention citrine’s durability in jewelry. A seven on the Mohs scale of hardness, you don’t have to worry too much about anything breaking up your balmy, summertime look.

Nothing represents sunshine more than yellow gemstones in gorgeous yellow gold. Embrace being the center of attention just like the sun on a cloudless day and go all out with the warm summertime vibes of yellow jewelry. Shop citrine earrings or yellow diamond rings set in 14k or 18k gold and let the bold warmth speak for itself.
Yellow jewelry pairs great with a neutral palette or with bold blue hues.
Neutral colors provide an amazing backdrop for your yellow jewelry to make an impression. White, gray, and black–even semi-neutral colors like navy blue and beige—all give yellow jewelry the spotlight it deserves.
If neutral is not for you, style your yellow jewelry with bold blue hues. Royal or electric blue creates a color contrast that is undeniably adventurous. The color of the ocean or a clear blue sky go hand and hand with the fiery brilliance of the sun, so why not take inspiration from nature itself in your next fashion ensemble?
