How Do I Charge a Citrine Bracelet?
Treat charging as a personal ritual, not a verified care method. Keep heat-treated citrine away from heat, which may cause its color to fade.
If you want to “charge” a citrine bracelet, treat it as a personal ritual rather than a verified gemstone-care method; the supplied evidence establishes no charging procedure or duration. Keep heat-treated citrine away from heat, which may cause fading.

Quick answer
The supplied evidence does not establish a sunlight, moonlight or selenite method for charging a citrine bracelet. If you choose a personal ritual, do not treat it as a substitute for physical care.
The rule to remember: keep heat-treated citrine away from heat, which may cause fading (International Gem Society). The evidence does not establish a safe sunlight exposure time.
Why does heat matter for citrine?
Heat matters because heat-treated citrine may fade when exposed to heat. That warning does not establish how quickly fading occurs, whether it is permanent or whether a particular morning-sun session is safe.

What are the exceptions to the rule?
The supplied evidence establishes no exception to the heat caution for heat-treated citrine. Its scope matters: it concerns heat-treated stones, not a finding that every citrine bracelet will fade under every exposure.
You can choose to skip charging rather than adopt an unsupported schedule. That choice does not make heat exposure irrelevant; refer back to the same heat caution when deciding how to handle the bracelet.
What if the bracelet contains other materials?
The citrine heat warning does not establish suitable charging or cleaning conditions for an entire mixed-material bracelet.
Sunstruck lists citrine / lemon quartz (raw nugget), clear quartz and sterling silver. Happiness Is lists strawberry quartz, aquamarine, amethyst, citrine, tiger's eye, black rutilated quartz, moss agate, clear quartz and sterling silver. Those material lists do not establish that sunlight, moonlight, selenite or water is suitable for every component.
Where does citrine lore fit?
The supplied crystal-lore sources call citrine the “merchant's stone” and associate it with prosperity and self-belief. Those are lore associations, not physical evidence for charging, protection or color restoration.

FAQ
How long should I leave a citrine bracelet in sunlight?
The supplied evidence does not establish a safe sunlight duration for charging. Heat-treated citrine may fade when exposed to heat, so do not assume a short session is risk-free.
Is moonlight or selenite charging more effective?
The supplied evidence establishes neither method's effectiveness nor a recommended duration. Either may be a personal ritual choice, but neither is verified here as a gemstone-care method.
Will charging restore faded citrine color?
The supplied evidence says heat-treated citrine may fade with heat exposure. It does not establish whether that fading is reversible or provide evidence that charging restores color.
