What does citrine's hardness tell you about bracelet wear?
Citrine has a Mohs hardness of 7, according to the International Gem Society. That hardness figure alone does not establish resistance to impacts or guarantee everyday bracelet durability.
The same source cautions that heat-treated citrine may fade when exposed to heat. This is a heat caution, not evidence about sunlight exposure or the safety of a particular cleaning method.
What does "merchant's stone" mean in crystal lore?
In crystal lore, citrine is called the merchant's stone and is associated with prosperity and sunny self-belief. This is a lore association, not a physical effect or evidence that either metal improves it.
Which listed bracelets combine citrine with other materials?
Both supplied bracelets list other stones alongside citrine and sterling silver.
Dusk & Relic's Sunstruck ($115) lists citrine / lemon quartz (raw nugget), clear quartz, and .925 sterling silver, with a listed diameter of 8 mm. The listing's citrine / lemon quartz wording should not be narrowed to citrine alone.
Happiness Is ($95) lists strawberry quartz, aquamarine, amethyst, citrine, tiger's eye, black rutilated quartz, moss agate, clear quartz, and .925 sterling silver, with a listed diameter of 11 mm. These dimensions do not establish how either bracelet sits under a cuff or feels on the wrist.

Choose silver if… / Choose gold if…
Choose silver if you prefer its appearance and want to consider the documented options: Sunstruck or Happiness Is, using their listed materials to guide your choice.
Choose gold if you prefer its appearance, but check a specific bracelet's materials and price before buying. No matching gold bracelet is supplied here, so these listings cannot support a product recommendation for that branch.
