Citrine Rings
Citrine rings feature the crystal ‘honey toned’ members of the Quartz family. Known as an affordable gem, depending on the clarity, cut, and colour, the price and value can actually vary greatly. Quartz gemstone has been used for thousands of years. The Egyptians adored Citrine, in rings, jewels and, in particular, used this gem for talisman to ward off evil. Citrine was often used in jewels of the Victorian and Art Deco eras and is extremely popular nowadays too. Natural Citrine is extremely rare. The majority of Citrine is actually heat-treated Amethyst. Heat treatment is a common centuries-old practice. Rating 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, it is best to simply clean your Citrine rings and
jewels by hand with soap and water. Steam cleaning is safe for your precious Citrine rings as well. Citrine rings and jewels feature a gem known esoterically as a brilliant energy-imbued stone that promotes mental clarity.

Citrine is a sunny warm complement to the brilliant, cool white

The tone of the jewel differs significantly when the setting is white gold versus a yellow gold alloy. Citrine and Diamond rings are a popular choice for engagement rings and for good reason.

Gold Citrine Rings
There are several options with
gold Citrine rings as well, all beautiful, but in different ways. Yellow gold and Citrine ring’s play of colour has a warmer toned impact as compared with a white gold and Citrine ring, which gives off a cooler hue. Citrine is known as a more reasonably priced gemstone, but once you add gold and especially a higher karat, the value and price will naturally go up. Either way, it is always best to go with jewellers who create high-quality jewels no matter the price point. Citrine loves warm skin tones, along with other warm-toned gems like Garnet, Ruby, Peridot, Fancy Yellow Diamonds, etc. Skin tone is not an issue of the lightness or darkness of skin by the way. One can have pale skin with warm skin tones. Skin tone is determined by the colour of your veins. Green veins are warm skin toned and blue veins are cool skin tones, which are flattered by white precious metals of white gold and silver and cooler-toned gems like Amethyst or Sapphire. That being said, if you love a jewel, love it and make it work for you!
Citrine Cocktail Rings
Cocktail rings were originally very ornate gemstone rings with larger centre stones and often with a pave of smaller bright stones surrounding and enhancing an outstanding design. Statement rings of today are a contemporary way of naming cocktail rings. The history of the Citrine cocktail ring, and all other cocktail rings for that matter, dates back to America in the roaring 1920s during the era of alcohol prohibition. The banning of alcohol prompted underground speakeasies and private cocktail parties. Women had won the right to vote and were expressing newfound independence via flapper style, fashion, spending power and business ownership. And so it is said the 'cocktail' ring was coined as an expression of that independence. Cocktail rings were often created as an over the top and often 'artsy' jewel that commanded focus, conversation and comment. Citrine cocktail rings are a wonderful option for this style and the prices can go from low to high-end. Citrine cocktail rings at Juwelo range in styles from more classic and subdued to ornate and filigreed, with differing offers, from our varied designers and brands.
