Amanda’s Style File: Golden and Blue November Hues
The month’s birthstones, citrine and blue topaz, reflect the changing colors of the season.

From blankets of freshly fallen leaves across the ground to the warm autumn moons, the light hits differently in November.
With the shifts of the seasons, wardrobes change too. Knit sweaters and boots replace tank tops and sandals while the colors also shift from summer tones to warm hues.
Those with birthdays in November are lucky to have two birthstones to choose from—citrine and topaz.
Blue topaz set in yellow gold perfectly captures the November transition and it makes the look feel more modern.
Citrine pieces, meanwhile, play beautifully to the colors of fall and the price point allows designers to lean into the gemstone and give a lot of style versatility.
Here are a few Style File selects to explore this November.
