- Is the citrine natural or lab-created?
- It is natural citrine, a yellow-to-orange quartz. Natural citrine can vary slightly in tone from stone to stone, so expect some color variation.
- How durable is citrine for everyday wear?
- Citrine rates about 7 on the Mohs scale, so it resists scratches better than opal or pearl but less than diamond or sapphire. It suits occasional cocktail wear better than daily hard use.
- What is 14K Honey Gold?
- Honey Gold is Le Vian's name for its warm, rose-gold-toned 14K gold alloy. It is real 14K gold, not plating, but the exact hue can look pinker or yellower in person than in photos.
- Can this ring be resized?
- It is listed in US size 7. A jeweler can often resize a plain gold band, but rings with diamond halos and channel settings are harder to resize and may not be covered by the maker.
- How much diamond is in the ring?
- The diamonds total 1/8 carat. They are accent stones around the citrine, so the ring reads as a citrine piece with a diamond halo rather than a diamond ring.
- What should I check when it arrives?
- Check that the citrine is secure in its setting and that the diamonds are tight. Inspect the stone for chips and confirm the karat stamp inside the band.
