Is the November Birthstone Topaz or Citrine?

If you have a birthday in November, you might be thinking about buying your first November birthstone jewelry. Alternatively, you may be thinking about buying birthstone jewelry as a birthday gift for someone you care about. Either way, if you don't know much about birthstones, you may be a little confused about which gemstone you should be shopping for. After all, if you look it up on Google, you'll likely see that there are two November birthstones: topaz and citrine. So....which one is it?

Well, actually, both stones are considered November birthstones, so you can choose either or both! November is not the only month that has more than one birthstone -- March and October do as well. The month with the most birthstones is December -- there are four that you can choose from!

Which November birthstone is the most traditional choice?

Of the two November birthstones, topaz is the most traditional choice. It is also considered by many to be the more luxurious of the two. Topaz actually dates back 2,000 to 2,500 years and has been used as a November birthstone for many years, with biblical ties. It comes in a wide variety of colors, including colorless, blue (one of the most popular retail choices), yellow, brown, purple, green, pink, and so on. This makes it a great choice for those who like colorful gemstones in shades that really stand out or that suit their complexion, wardrobe and personal style.

Which November birthstone is the most affordable choice?

Topaz is considered the more expensive November birthstone, although this depends on the specific piece of jewelry and where you're buying it from....you'll always get better deals if you buy topaz and other gemstones and jewelry from Hilltop Pawn in Virginia Beach instead of a mall jewelry store. If you are looking for an even more affordable choice, choose citrine, which is considered more affordable and accessible and is also even cheaper if you buy it here at Hilltop Pawn & Jewelry.
