November Birthstone Jewelry
The November birthstone is topaz, with citrine recognized as the month’s second, modern birthstone since 1952. Topaz rates 8 on the Mohs hardness scale — the hardest birthstone outside the corundum months — and citrine, the yellow-to-amber quartz, carries the month’s warm register at Mohs 7. This collection holds designs across both stones: rings, ring sets, necklaces, and earrings in 925 sterling silver, 14K gold vermeil, and solid 14K gold.
One Month, Two Stones — and a Blue Surprise
Most November pages stop at golden yellow. Ours tells the truth about what people actually wear: the collection’s signature is London blue topaz — the deep teal-inflected blue that has quietly become one of the most wanted colored stones in jewelry — alongside Swiss blue, sky blue, rainbow-toned mystic topaz, and natural citrine from pale lemon to deep amber. A November birthstone ring here can be golden, blue, or somewhere unexpected in between; the filters above sort the designs by stone, product type, metal, and price.
London Blue, Swiss Blue, Sky Blue: Topaz at Its Deepest
The three blues are shades of the same stone. Sky blue is the palest and brightest; Swiss blue turns vivid and electric; London blue is the deepest — an inky teal-blue with a gray-green undertone that reads sophisticated rather than sweet, and outsells the other two here combined. One honest note we state plainly: nearly all vivid blue topaz begins as colorless natural topaz and gains its blue through industry-standard irradiation and heat treatment. The color is permanent, stable, and safe; the stone is real topaz.
At Mohs 8, topaz handles daily ring wear with ease — a topaz birthstone ring needs only ordinary care and a sensible respect for hard knocks, since topaz carries a cleavage plane that dislikes sharp impact. Vintage-style settings with milgrain detail, Art Deco geometry, and simple solitaires all appear across the lineup.
Citrine: November’s Sunlit Quartz
Citrine is the yellow-to-orange variety of quartz, added to the official November list in 1952 as the month’s accessible second stone. Its color runs from pale lemon through honey to deep amber, and honesty requires the industry’s open secret: most commercial citrine begins as amethyst and gains its golden color through heat treatment — a standard, stable process we are happy to name. At Mohs 7 it wears well in rings with reasonable care and effortlessly in necklaces and earrings, and it delivers the largest visible stone per dollar on this page, which is why our cushion and hexagon citrine designs anchor the collection’s value end.
Metals follow the store’s honest tiers: rhodium-finished sterling silver 14K rose and yellow gold vermeil, and solid 14K gold made to order — November birthstone platinum rings are a made-to-order request through the custom ring service. November spans Scorpio and early Sagittarius; the full zodiac map is in our birthstones by month guide.
What the November Birthstone Means
The November birthstone topaz has symbolized strength and protection since Greek antiquity, when the stone was believed to give its wearer endurance; medieval Europe added calm and clear thinking to the list. Citrine carries the modern register — abundance, optimism, and warmth, the “merchant’s stone” of prosperity traditions. Together they make November’s jewelry unusually good at meaning something: strength from the harder stone, brightness from the golden one.
The anniversary calendar adds two more occasions. Blue topaz marks the 4th wedding anniversary in modern American lists, and citrine the 13th — so a November stone can celebrate a marriage as easily as a birthday, and an engraved date makes the double meaning explicit. For gifting without sizing risk, the collection’s topaz and citrine pendant necklaces and stud earrings carry the same stones in formats that always fit, whichever way the recipient leans between golden and blue.

This page is the November collection — both stones chosen for their birth-month significance. When the stone itself is the destination, three dedicated collections continue the range: the full topaz jewelry catalog across every shade, London blue topaz rings for the collection’s signature color, and citrine jewelry for the golden end. All twelve months live in the birthstone jewelry hub, with October’s opal and December’s tanzanite on either side.
