Handcrafted sterling silver and rose-cut Citrine ring. Each has been textured and oxidized to resemble a shimmering artifact from the past and contrast the brilliant golden Citrine. Each stone has been rose-cut to catch the light from every angle and the silver below the stone was polished to a mirror finish to emulate the Victorian tradition of foiling gemstones to bring out the most light.
Citrine, a vibrant yellow-to-orange version of quartz, mainly comes from the pegmatites in eastern Brazil. These pegmatites are essentially coarse-grained igneous rocks that have crystallized from silica-rich magma. Brazilian Citrine's warm, sunny hues are thanks to ferric iron impurities within the quartz. The heat from the region's magmatic activity might have naturally transformed some amethyst or smoky quartz into citrine over time, mirroring a common heat treatment technique to enhance amethyst into the golden citrine often available on the market.
Although natural citrine is rare, Brazil stands out as a leading source of this sought-after gemstone. Citrine's color can range from a pale yellow to a deep orange, and the deeper the color, the more prized the gemstone typically is. This gem adds a pop of color to jewelry and is celebrated for its metaphysical properties like bringing happiness and prosperity, making it a favorite among gem lovers and collectors.
