This vintage Retro Men's ring with a citrine and diamonds is crafted in massive 14k yellow gold with 18k white gold accents, weighs 25.7g and measures 20mm wide and 9mm deep. Characterizing the bold and impressive jewelry style of the 1940's Retro era, this elegant and highly ornate men's ring exposes a significant 4.78ct emerald-cut citrine measuring 13mm long and 11mm wide, graded an eye-pleasing 'orange with a brown overtone' color and 'good' clarity mounted within an octahedral white gold bezel-setting. A glowing octagonal rim of bead-set full-cut diamonds cumulatively weighing 1.08cts graded I color and SI1 clarity surrounds the translucent center-stone, is mounted on an 18k white gold base and enhanced by an elegantly plain white gold perimeter. This alluring and color contrasted octagonal plaque surmounts a skillfully chased, angular yellow gold gallery, complemented by substantial, tri-dimensional shoulders of pronounced width, accentuated by artistically scrolled, florally inspired profiles. Broad and stunningly scrolled shoulders descend diminutively to merge into a sturdy, spherical band and a sizeable shank.

Deriving its name from the French word 'citron', meaning lemon, the gemstone citrine has a color palette encompassing ‘yellow’ to ‘gold’ to ‘orange-brown’ shades of transparent quartz. The darker orange nuances of citrine, referred to as 'Madeira citrine' named after the color of the wine, is generally considered to be the most valuable color. Most citrine is mined in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, where there is presently an abundant supply. Citrine, modern birthstone for November, is considered an alternative to topaz, but which is a separate mineral. In ancient times, citrine was carried as a protection against snake venom and evil thoughts.
