Suspended from textured sterling silver hoops, the gemstones have a gentle movement that adds to their character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're an easy way to introduce a little colour to your everyday jewellery. Wear them with a crisp white shirt, relaxed linen or a simple black outfit, and let the citrines catch the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you love the gentle warmth of citrine, take a look at the matching \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.herbertandwilks.co.nz\/products\/kowhai-signet-ring-sterling-silver-citrine\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Kōwhai Signet Ring – Sterling Silver \u0026amp; Citrine\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eKōwhai Signet Ring\u003c\/a\u003e, another organic sterling silver design inspired by the kōwhai tree.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HerbertandWilks Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68048395501881,"sku":"KDE-SS+C","price":295.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/0668\/2937\/files\/Kowhai-Drops-Sq1_e478c45e-6402-4b01-ae27-304ada8e1a5b.jpg?v=1794362137","url":"https:\/\/www.herbertandwilks.co.nz\/products\/kowhai-citrine-drop-earrings","provider":"HerbertandWilks Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
