Antique Citrine Ring
Antique Citrine Ring
A gorgeous antique citrine and yellow gold ring. The rich hue of the 18 karat golden setting is the perfect complement to the honey-toned citrine, cradled in four prongs set in a cardinal direction. The citrine displays a beautiful pattern of color zoning, with marbled variations in deepness of tone. The gem is cushion shaped, and cut in a flat-top style, with one large portrait-style facet on the top and step cutting on the pavilion, or underside of the stone. The effect is a jewel which pulls the eye in and catches light like a spoonful of golden honey. The shoulders are accented by a geometric, engraved pattern and slightly sculptural texture. Citrine is a variety of quartz, which displays a golden-orange color due to the presence of iron.
