Understanding This Piece
About Citrine
Citrine is yellow-to-orange quartz, the warm-toned sibling of amethyst. Most commercial citrine is heat-treated amethyst from Brazil; natural untreated citrine is rarer and commands higher prices. The color ranges from pale lemon to deep Madeira amber. Citrine scores 7 on Mohs (suitable for daily wear) and is the November birthstone and 13th-anniversary gem. It's one of the most accessible yellow gemstones in fine jewelry and pairs beautifully with both yellow and rose gold.
About 14K Rose Gold
14K rose gold gets its romantic pink hue from a copper-rich alloy — typically around 25% copper combined with silver. The color is warm, slightly less intense than 10K rose, and ages beautifully without tarnishing or requiring rhodium replating. Rose gold has been a defining engagement-ring trend of the last decade, pairing especially well with morganites, peach sapphires, and oval and cushion-cut diamonds. It flatters most skin tones and reads as both vintage and modern.
About the Bezel Setting
A bezel setting rims the entire perimeter of the center diamond in a continuous metal collar — the most secure setting style available and the most snag-free for daily wear. Bezel settings give a clean, modern silhouette and are the preferred choice for active wearers, medical professionals, and clients who prioritize maximum stone security. The trade-off is reduced light entry to the diamond's pavilion, which slightly mutes brilliance compared to prong settings.
