Natural citrine is one of the most uplifting and energising stones in the mineral world. Unlike heat-treated citrine, which is widely sold but is simply amethyst that has been artificially altered, natural citrine forms its warm golden-yellow hue through natural geological processes. It does not hold or accumulate negative energy, which means it never needs cleansing. It simply radiates.
Known as the merchant’s stone and the stone of abundance, natural citrine is associated with the solar plexus chakra, the seat of personal power, confidence, and creative energy. It is believed to attract prosperity, encourage optimism, and dissolve self-doubt, replacing stagnant energy with warmth, motivation, and a sustained sense of joy. It is a stone for those who wish to feel more fully alive to their own potential. It does not quiet or ground in the way that darker stones do, it lifts, energises, and illuminates.
Copper is one of the oldest metals in human use, and one of the oldest in healing practice. It is considered a conductor of electricity, of warmth, and in crystal tradition, of energy itself. Copper is believed to amplify the properties of the stones it is paired with, directing their intention and supporting the smooth flow of energy through the body. It is associated with circulation, vitality, and a grounded physical warmth that makes itself felt over time.
Here, copper wire has been chosen deliberately. Its natural warm, rosy tone sits in close harmony with rose gold vermeil, creating a cohesive, considered palette while keeping the piece accessible. The two metals complement each other without competing, the copper doing the work of the wrap, the rose gold vermeil providing the chain.
This piece features a hand-selected natural citrine stone, wire-wrapped by hand in copper in a spiral cage design that holds the stone securely while allowing its full depth of colour to remain visible. The cage wraps around the stone in considered coils, structured and intentional, with a quality of craft that rewards a closer look.
Finished on an 18 inch rose gold vermeil fine curb chain; sterling silver with a layer of 18-karat rose gold, the necklace sits beautifully at the collarbone, warm, golden, and quietly radiant.
Handcrafted at Rachel Hartley Atelier. Arrives gift-ready.
