Look of the Day Gemstone Series: Citrine/Imperial Topaz

It's now November, so I thought it would be appropriate to do a look inspired by November's birthstone.  November actually has two birthstones, citrine and topaz.

Citrine varies in color from "pastel yellow to dark brownish orange" (American Gem Society description), and is an affordable, fairly common gemstone.

Topaz comes in many colors, but according to the American Gem Society, the most prized color is the Imperial Topaz, which has a "magnificent orange body color with pinkish undertones."

I focused on the orange tones of both gemstones.
