Sun & Sand: Sunny Yellow Citrine and Pearls
by Diane Schamp.
(Michigan USA)
Yellow is a fun and a cheerful color and these citrine stones remind me of summer. I wanted to create a fun and elegant bracelet for summer, something you can wear to the beach, picnics, family reunions.
It is a simple piece to create, you just need to find some citrine nuggets stones (11mm to 12mm in size) and white freshwater pearls (11mm in size), string them together and add a clasp. This particular bracelet I made to fit a larger wrist, about 7.5 inch to 8 inch.

Great combo of the citrine and pearls – I always liked citrine, and you made a beautiful piece.
Woohoo, fellow Michiganian/Michigander type person! I love this. Usually white pearls on a white background wouldn’t work, but the citrine brightens the pearls enough so they don’t disappear against the fabric. I also love the use of texture… the smooth pearls paired with the rough gems is such a great contrast.
