Vintage Citrine 9ct Gold Cocktail Ring

Stunning cocktail statement ring set with a beautiful large natural oval cut faceted citrine gemstone.

The citrine is a striking glowing golden colour with a hint of green. It sits in a substantial 9ct yellow gold basket that allows the light to enter from all angles.

In ancient times, people believed that citrine gemstones could calm tempers, soothe anger and manifest desires, especially prosperity. To leverage these powers, Egyptians used citrine gemstones as talismans, the ancient Greeks carved iconic images into them, and Roman priests fashioned them into rings.

Citrine comes from the French word ‘citron,’ meaning lemon, or the Latin word ‘citrina,’ meaning yellow. However, it was known as yellow quartz until the 1550s.
