Is the citrine real or synthetic?

It is listed as natural citrine, an oval-cut stone of 8 by 6 mm. Natural citrine is a yellow-to-orange quartz, so slight color variation between stones is normal.

What does 14K yellow gold vermeil mean?

Vermeil is a thick layer of 14K gold over a base metal core, not solid gold. It looks like gold but can wear through at high-friction points over time.

What is a claw-prong bezel-style setting?

The stone is held by small claw prongs while a metal rim wraps its edge, a hybrid of a prong and bezel setting. It gives the citrine more edge protection than prongs alone.

Can I wear it every day?

Yes, but citrine is a relatively soft gem and vermeil is a gold layer. Remove it for swimming, cleaning, gym sessions and before applying perfume or lotion to slow wear and tarnish.

How does it compare with a solid 14K gold citrine ring?

A solid gold version resists wear far better and can be polished for decades, but it is a different class of purchase. This ring gives the same look and a real citrine at a fraction of the metal content.
