Aftab-e-Zar - Citrine Silver Necklace

Aftab-e-Zar is a gold plated silver pendant by Orah Jewels and Crafts, set with a faceted citrine gemstone inside a sculptural, sun inspired setting. Its warm golden tones and delicate chain bring understated elegance to any look, the pendant catching light the way its namesake, aftab, the sun, suggests.

Citrine is a variety of quartz whose warm yellow to golden color comes from trace iron impurities altered by heat deep within the earth, a process that can occur geologically or be replicated through controlled heating of amethyst. The citrine set in Aftab-e-Zar is sourced through Orah's broader gemstone network, chosen for a clean, even golden tone that reads warm rather than brassy under different light. Citrine has long been tied to the sun across cultures, prized since antiquity for a color that seems to hold light rather than simply reflect it, the quality this setting is built to show.

The faceted cut opens the stone to catch light from multiple angles, and the sun inspired setting frames it with radiating silver lines that echo the citrine's own warmth without overwhelming it. Finished in gold plating over sterling silver, the pendant hangs from a fine chain that keeps the visual weight in the stone itself.
