Is citrine durable enough for everyday wear?

Citrine is a quartz, around 7 on the Mohs scale. It handles daily wear but can scratch or chip if knocked against hard surfaces, so take it off for gym sessions and heavy chores.

Does the yellow citrine stand out against yellow gold?

Can this ring be resized?

It is listed in US size 7. A jeweler can often resize a plain 14k gold band, but a setting with a stone can limit how far it goes, so ask before buying.

Is this a good birthstone gift?

Citrine is the November birthstone, and the oval solitaire style suits a birthday or anniversary gift. It arrives as a single ring, so check whether a box or pouch is included.

How does 14k gold compare with 18k or plated gold?

14k is 58.5% gold, harder and more scratch-resistant than 18k, which is softer but richer in color. Plated rings have only a thin gold layer that wears off; this one is solid gold throughout.
