Citrine Split Ring | 14K Gold & Sterling Silver

Citrine is a transparent variety of quartz, ranging in colour from the palest lemon yellow through to deep amber and burnt orange. Its name comes from the French word citron, meaning lemon. It is one of the most recognised warm-toned gemstones in the world, and one of the most wearable. The colour range is wide, and every stone sits somewhere different along it.

Yes. Citrine is the birthstone for November. It is associated with the zodiac signs Scorpio and Sagittarius. It makes a considered and meaningful gift for anyone born in that month, or for anyone drawn to warmth, optimism, and abundance.

Citrine has been associated with prosperity, joy, and positive energy across many cultures and throughout history. It is connected to warmth, abundance, and an uncomplicated sense of optimism. Wearing it is described as the feeling of holding light, not reflected light, but warmth that seems to come from within the stone itself.

Citrine sits at 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it a very practical everyday stone. It is harder than opal and holds its polish well over time. With a protective bezel setting and reasonable daily care, a citrine ring from Julia Paris Designs is built to be worn, not saved.

Yes. Each citrine stone is chosen individually. The setting is made around that stone. Once this piece sells, it is not repeated. The citrine that made this ring possible is the only one of its kind, and so the ring is too.

The stone is never chosen for its commercial grade. It is chosen for its character. A citrine with depth, with warmth, with something worth looking at twice. The setting is then built to give that stone the best possible light and the most wearable form. Nothing about the design competes with the stone. Everything about it serves it.
