What does 12.00 ct. t.w. mean?

It is the combined carat weight of all the citrines in the ring, not the center stone alone. The center emerald-cut stone carries most of that weight, with two smaller stones at the sides.

No. It is 18kt yellow gold plated over sterling silver. The plating gives the warm gold color, while the sterling silver core keeps the ring lighter and more affordable than solid gold.

How wide is the ring?

The ring face is 5/8 inch wide. That is a substantial, statement-sized look on the hand.

Is citrine durable enough for daily wear?

Citrine is a quartz with decent hardness, but a large emerald-cut stone has flat facets and corners that can chip or scratch. It holds up better for occasional wear than for heavy daily use.

Can I wear it as a November birthstone ring?

Yes. Citrine is the traditional November birthstone, and the three-stone layout makes it a common birthstone gift choice.

How should I care for the gold plating?

Keep it away from harsh cleaners, chlorine and abrasive cloths, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Store it separately so the plating and the citrine are not rubbed against harder jewelry.
