Citrine: a semi-precious stone with golden reflections
Citrine belongs to the quartz family, along with amethyst and rose quartz. This natural gemstone gets its color from traces of iron present in its crystalline structure. Citrine comes in several shades: pale lemon yellow, intense golden yellow, and tangerine orange. The most sought-after citrines have a saturated color and perfect transparency. This stone is measured in carats, the unit of weight for precious and semi-precious stones (1 carat = 0.20 grams). A citrine of several carats can adorn a spectacular cocktail ring. Natural citrine remains rarer than heat-treated amethyst, which is often sold as citrine. At Castafiore, our experts verify the authenticity of each citrine.
Citrine cocktail ring: vintage boldness
The citrine cocktail ring embodies the boldness of the 1940s and 50s. These spectacular rings feature a multi-carat citrine, often surrounded by diamonds or other precious stones. A citrine cocktail ring is perfect for evening wear; it's a statement piece that commands attention. The setting highlights the stone: a cushion cut for a vintage citrine, an oval for classic elegance, and an emerald for geometric modernity. White gold creates an elegant contrast with the warm hue of the citrine, while yellow gold enhances the stone's golden brilliance. A pre-owned citrine cocktail ring retains all its presence and vintage character, a rare piece that can quickly become sold out in our collections.
Citrine signet ring: masculine elegance
The citrine signet ring reinterprets traditional men's jewelry with a precious stone. This substantial ring features a multi-carat citrine set on a wide gold band. Citrine signet rings are available in yellow gold for classic warmth, or in white gold for a sleek, modern look. Some vintage signet rings combine citrine with other stones: diamonds on the sides, black enamel for a graphic contrast. A high-carat citrine signet ring creates a statement piece, suitable for both men and women. The price of a citrine signet ring varies depending on the weight of the stone and the precious metal.
Citrine jewelry: rings and sets
Beyond the solitaire ring, citrine adorns a variety of jewelry. Citrine earrings harmoniously complement a ring, creating an elegant set. A citrine necklace can feature a spectacular center stone or several citrines in a gradient. These citrine jewels are available in white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold, depending on your preference. Some vintage pieces combine citrine with other gemstones: moonstone, lapis lazuli, or amethyst. A citrine ring integrates perfectly into a collection of pre-owned jewelry, a luminous piece that adds warmth to the overall look. Our citrine jewelry sale regularly features new, appraised pieces.
Vintage citrine ring: period styles
Vintage citrine rings reflect the styles of each era. The 1940s favored imposing rose gold settings, showcasing large citrines. The 1960s and 70s explored geometric shapes and bold combinations: citrine and amethyst, citrine and blue topaz. Art Deco rings (1920s and 30s) featured citrines in geometric settings adorned with diamonds. A vintage citrine ring embodies the aesthetics of its time, a piece of jewelry imbued with history and character. In Paris, the historic capital of jewelry, these vintage rings find a second life among lovers of exceptional pieces.
Citrine engagement ring: luminous originality
Citrine engagement rings appeal to couples seeking originality. An alternative to traditional diamonds, citrine adds a touch of warm, personal color. A citrine engagement ring can feature a single central stone or be surrounded by diamonds for a spectacular halo effect. Yellow gold particularly enhances the golden hue of citrine, creating a luminous harmony. White gold offers a modern and elegant contrast. Some vintage citrine engagement rings feature highly sought-after Art Deco or retro designs. Choosing a pre-owned citrine engagement ring means opting for a unique piece of jewelry steeped in history.
Gemstone combinations: citrine and diamond
Citrine pairs beautifully with diamonds, creating a striking contrast between its warm hue and brilliant white. A citrine cocktail ring surrounded by diamonds presents a spectacular design, where the diamonds accentuate the central stone. Some vintage rings combine citrine with other gems: blue sapphire for a complementary contrast, ruby for a warm harmony, and emerald for a bold mix. Moonstone, lapis lazuli, or other semi-precious stones can also accompany citrine in original designs. These combinations create unique rings that stand out from classic jewelry.
Precious metals: white, yellow and rose gold
Citrine rings are available in a variety of precious metals. 18-karat white gold (750/1000) creates an elegant contrast with the warm hue of citrine, highlighting the stone's golden brilliance. 18-karat yellow gold enhances the warmth of citrine, creating a particularly flattering harmony. Rose gold brings a feminine softness that beautifully complements citrines with orange undertones. Platinum, though rarer, offers a precious neutrality that showcases the stone. The choice of metal significantly influences the final appearance of the citrine ring and its price.
Authenticity and quality of the citrine
The authenticity of a natural citrine is verified by several criteria. Color is the first indicator: a natural citrine displays subtle nuances, from pale yellow to orange, while a heat-treated amethyst often shows a uniform orange. The stone's transparency and purity influence its value: a citrine without visible inclusions is of superior quality. The carat weight also determines the price: a citrine of several carats remains rarer and more precious. At Castafiore, our experts examine each pre-owned citrine ring: verifying the authenticity of the stone, the quality of the setting, and the condition of the precious metal.
Citrine: stone of luck and light
Citrine is traditionally considered a stone of luck and prosperity. This solar gem symbolizes joy, positive energy, and abundance. Wearing a citrine ring is believed to attract good fortune and success, according to crystal healing beliefs. Beyond these symbolic meanings, citrine is prized for its natural luminosity that illuminates the hand. This accessible gemstone allows you to own a spectacular piece of jewelry at a more affordable price than classic precious stones. A pre-owned citrine ring is therefore a wise choice for acquiring a distinctive piece of jewelry imbued with positive symbolism.
Choosing your citrine ring: essential criteria
To choose a citrine ring, several criteria can help you filter the options and find the perfect piece. The color of the citrine is the first element: do you prefer a delicate pale yellow or a vibrant orange? The carat weight determines the presence of the stone: a citrine of several carats creates a spectacular piece of jewelry, while a more modest stone offers understated elegance. The style of the ring also guides your choice: a cocktail ring for a vintage touch, a signet ring for a bold statement, or an engagement ring for romantic symbolism. The precious metal (white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold) influences the final look. Our experts are here to help you filter our collection and identify the citrine ring that meets your expectations.
Prices of second-hand citrine rings
The price of a pre-owned citrine ring depends on several factors. The carat weight of the citrine is the primary consideration: a stone weighing several carats commands a higher price than a smaller one. Color saturation also influences the value: citrines with intense orange hues, known as Madeira citrines, fetch higher prices than pale yellow citrines. The precious metal plays a significant role: white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum all command different prices. The presence of diamonds or other gemstones adds considerable value. The style of the ring also affects the price: a spectacular vintage citrine cocktail ring often commands a higher price than a simpler one. Our experts guarantee a fair appraisal for every ring available in our sale.
