CITRINE

The History about Citrine
Some Biblical scholars believe that citrine was the tenth of 12 stones in Aaron's breastplate described in the book of Exodus. The stone was referred to as chrysolitus (Greek for "golden stone") in both Roman Catholic and Latin versions of the Old Testament, leading to some confusion over whether it was citrine, topaz, or beryl. However, in the King James Version, the tenth stone is referred to as beryl, meaning it would be heliodor, and modern scholars believe the stone was actually topaz.From the earliest of times, citrine was called the "sun stone" and the gemstone was thought capable of holding sunlight and useful in the protection from snakebite.
Its color was associated with gold and it became known as the merchant’s stone. To the Romans, it was the stone of Mercury, the messenger god, and it was used for carving intaglios. The name origin of yellow quartz, the name "citrine" was officially adopted for this stone in 1556 when German metallurgist Georg Bauer, known to some as "the father of modern mineralogy," used it in a publication about gemstones and jewelry.
The word "citrine" has a few potential sources, all related to citrus fruits. The most likely root of this word is from the old French word citron, meaning "yellow," or the Latin word citrus, in reference to citrus fruit. Around the 17th century, both citrine and smoky quartz were called "cairngorm" after their source in the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland. "Madeira citrine" is the term used for darker, orangey-brown citrines, so named because they share their color with Madeira wine.In 1852, after Queen Victoria married Prince Albert, they built Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands. Because she was so fond of her new home and Scotland in general, the queen often had parties for which she required her guests to dress in full Highlands attire.
This gave Victoria a good opportunity to share another of her loves: gemstones found within her kingdom, citrine in particular. As a result, citrines set in traditional Highlands shoulder brooches and kilt pins became popular.　
　
Metaphysical
The color of the solar plexus chakra is yellow, so citrine is associated with this chakra. It is thought to have a positive influence that can relieve backache, and combat depression and problems with the liver, spleen, digestive system and the bladder. Some believe that the gemstone can help promote prosperity.

A day in the life: "The learning process is never ending. To me, every gemstone has a story to be told, and they're all fascinating. I truly have a passion for them."Citrine's earthy, golden-orange hues make it a fitting birthstone for November babies, born in a season of pumpkins, bright fall sunshine, and autumn leaves. "Citrine is one of the most valuable and popular gemstones in the quartz group.
While many citrines on the market today are actually heated amethyst or smoky quartz, citrine does occur naturally in beautiful golden and brownish-orange hues. It's also possible that quartz crystals that grew naturally as amethyst or smoky quartz were turned into citrine by natural heat from nearby magma activity .

Art in ClayThe art of clay is an ancient activity, dating back more tham three thousand before Christ.Today in Bazsil ,The popularty of clay art is widespread. It is a legacy left of the Indians.The Indians women made clay toys for the children and household objects like bowls and pots.The pieces were modeled according to their creativity or need. They were often painted with strong color inspired by nature.

Art in Jewelry
The handmade jewelry always gone hand in hand with the metallurgy.When a piece is annealed to soften it, when we mix copper in silver to create a stronger alloy or when it is warmed for ask to solder run we are using knowledge of centuries of metallurgical.In the 1970s, a branch of metallurgy has taken a big technological leap: the Powder Metallurgy.It is the manufacture of metal parts from powdered metals which are subsequently resigned and replaced by a sintering process at high temperatures, producing parts of complex shapes with greater energy savings and reduced disposal of material, compared to traditional forms - casting and machining.There are about ten years, this new technology arrived at the handmade jewelry, with the creation of products Art Clay Art Clay Silver and 22K Gold. Because the jewelry world is going through a crisis. This occurs for several reasons, including the fact that jewelry were lost, as dream come true for other fashion accessories like handbags and shoes, cars and electronics to art, and another relevant factor was the lack of innovation in jewelry.Without out investing in design, the jewelry has lost its value as art.

Art Clay in jewelry

The main element of differentiation of handcrafted jewelry for the industry is that they are unique. Not only as a unit is not repeated in a production scale, but only since the creation: a custom job, where you see the hand of the artist and where he can express themselves freely. The handmade jewelry is an art form. A leaf harvested from a memorable trip. A flower gift from a dear friend. A ladybug, a branch of a rose, a piece of income: all these materials can be eternalize in a silver jewelry through the use of Art Clay Silver. The Art Clay Silver, a body composed of microscopic grains of pure silver which has the consistency of clay, can be diluted into a paste and applied to organic materials such as leaves and tissues. After drying, these parts are burned - the stove burner or oven to high temperature - and the organic material is consumed completely, leaving behind his impression immortalized in silver.The result is jewelry faithful to the objects that "inspired" - light and delicate, ideal to be applied in earrings and pendants.
