Derived from the Latin word citrina, meaning yellow, citrine played a significant role in Roman bijouterie and intaglio printing. However, its true popularity emerged in the 19th century and the interwar period, coinciding with the rise of the art deco style. Renowned Hollywood stars such as Greta Garbo and Joan Crawford adorned themselves with citrine, making it a beloved choice for women seeking beautiful and affordable jewelry.
