Details
A cushion citrine lies low in a channel while accents run along the band, the warm stone framed and sheltered by two smooth walls of metal. That seat protects the girdle and edges, the parts of a faceted gem most at risk in daily wear. Golden or Madeira, the choice is yours, honey one way and deep cognac the other. Citrine is 7 on the Mohs scale and free of cleavage, so it wears well, and the channel adds real protection. The center is a genuine natural citrine, heat treated from amethyst to its colour, a step we name openly. This is a fashion ring for the right hand. Choose your metal, carat and colour below.
Shown complete with a real Cushion natural citrine center, a warm golden citrine or the deeper reddish-orange Madeira grade, whichever you choose, from 0.85 to 2.75 carat, from $2,629 all-in. The price is the finished ring: the setting, the citrine center you choose, and the labor to set and size it. Citrine is golden-to-Madeira quartz at 7 on the Mohs scale, so it wears well but still scratches and can chip on a hard knock, which is why we favour sheltering settings and hand select every stone. Most citrine, ours included, is gently heat treated from amethyst or smoky quartz to reach its colour, a standard and permanent step we disclose plainly rather than claim the stone is untreated. These calibrated stones ship without an individual lab report. Want a certified or larger center? Contact our concierge and we will source and quote it honestly.

Questions
What is at the center? A real natural Cushion citrine, from 0.85 to 2.75 carat. You can choose a warm golden citrine or the deeper, reddish-orange Madeira grade on this page; Madeira is the rarer, richer colour and prices a little higher. Choose the carat, colour and metal on this page.
Is this an engagement ring or a fashion ring? This is a fashion ring, made for the right hand, a stack or a self purchase rather than a proposal. Wear it however you like.
Is the citrine natural? Yes. Every center is a natural, earth mined citrine, the golden-to-orange variety of quartz. We do not set imitation, glass or simulant here. A lab grown citrine exists in the trade, but we set the natural stone.
Is it treated? Almost all citrine on the market is gently heated from amethyst or smoky quartz to reach its golden-to-Madeira colour. The treatment is standard, permanent and does not fade, and we say so rather than imply the stone is untouched.
How durable is a citrine ring? Citrine is 7 on the Mohs scale, a good hardness for everyday jewellery, and unlike tanzanite or topaz it has no cleavage plane. It can still scratch or chip on a sharp knock, so we favour bezel, halo, cluster and channel settings that shelter the stone and suggest removing it for rough work.
Does it come with a certificate? These calibrated citrine ship without an individual lab report. We hand check every one for even colour and a clean face, and can source a certified or larger stone on request.
