A very pretty vintage , 1960 c., gold ( 18 ct. ) citrine ( palmeira ) flower and bud brooch. The citrine gems are a deep rich sherry colour.
The quality of the mount and stones is excellent.

Citrine is a stone as bright as its energy. Everything about this stone emanates positivity and joy. Even its name, which is derived from the French word for lemon, carries a sense of sun and joy attached to it. Found naturally in Brazil, Africa, Madagascar, Spain, Russia, France, Scotland and USA, this gemstone has been an ornamental gem for civilisations as early as 300 B.C., and a favourite with jewellery makers since the ancient Greeks and Romans.
