One Year Forward, Eighteen Years Strong: A CITRUS Anniversary Story

Today marks such a meaningful moment for us at CITRUS. It’s officially been one year since I took the leap and became the new owner of this beautiful brand—and even more significantly, we’re celebrating 18 years since CITRUS was first founded in 2007.

This dual anniversary gives me a chance to pause and reflect on everything this brand has stood for for nearly two decades—and all the love, care, and connection you’ve helped us build.

When I stepped into CITRUS last March, I knew I wasn’t just taking on a business—I was becoming part of something that already meant so much to so many. What drew me to the brand was exactly what customers like you have shared with us time and time again: that CITRUS isn’t just jewelry. It’s a feeling. It’s a memory made wearable. It’s a way to feel close to the people and moments that truly matter most.

We are extremely grateful that you took time to share your precious feedback and kind words with us.  It's been such a pleasure getting to know you better! You told us “My necklace has my kids’ initials. I wear it every day. It’s like carrying a piece of them with me.” Messages like this have been the heartbeat of my first year. What I love about CITRUS is what you love about CITRUS. That personal, heartfelt connection behind every piece—that’s what makes it magic.

This year, we’ve worked hard to stay true to the roots of CITRUS while also gently evolving. We introduced our first-ever Paris Collection, which was such a joy to bring to life. Each limited-edition piece was inspired by the romance of travel and the timelessness of connection—two things close to my heart. We also expanded our Wedding Collection to include more thoughtful designs for brides and bridesmaids.

To mark this incredible milestone, I’m so excited to share that we’ll be launching two new special anniversary heirloom designs. The first is to celebrate our first year together. The other is a tribute to the full 18-year legacy of CITRUS. These designs are rooted in our heritage but shaped by where we’re headed—sentimental, personal, and created to last.

In fact, this year you may begin to see a subtle evolution of the brand as we explore more ways to create jewelry that carries a greater sense of permanence and legacy. We’re introducing the Heirloom Collection as a reflection of our roots and our future—timeless designs meant to be worn, loved, and passed down. Still deeply personal. Still full of heart. Just now with a touch more intention to stand the test of time.

As we look ahead, we’re continuing to grow CITRUS not just as a jewelry brand, but as a force for good. Giving back has always been close to my heart, and it will become an even bigger part of our mission. We’re working on new collaborations with women-owned businesses, planning charitable partnerships that support women’s equality, and creating more ways to give thoughtfully—and give back.

And because this celebration wouldn’t be complete without you, we’d love to hear from you. Your stories and feedback are what fuel us—and they help us keep creating pieces that truly matter.

As we celebrate our one-year anniversary—and 18 amazing years of CITRUS—we want to hear your stories.
