Captured Yellow Citrine Rock Ring

New to the Rock Collection is this beauty, a very organic looking sculptural ring. A gorgeous tumbled large Yellow Citrine gem stone is held in place by six snug fitting sterling silver prongs.

The sides of the silver ring are narrow and the bottom is wider and flat to balance out the heavier top. This way the ring does not slide around but follows the natural contour of the finger. It is a very ergonomic design.

The natural stone in the ring is 31 mm long, 19 mm wide and 13 mm high and shows lot's of inclusions which vary the color of the untreated stone from a cristalline white to a clear yellow. Citrine is a variety of quartz. It is one of three traditional birthstones for the month of November.

Need Some Sunshine?

These last couple days the weather in Los Angeles was strange. It's cloudy, overcast and even some drizzle. Getting up in the morning was really hard. So I decided to bring a bit of my own sunshine into my day. I used  the first ring that I designed for the Alien line for my sunshine experiment. It's a ring called Lemon Babies.

It has two yellow faceted Citrine stones of different size sitting really high in these organic shaped sterling silver settings. I had this ring for a while. It got a lot of attention at shows and ton's of hearts on Etsy. But so far it hasn't found a new home yet. So I decided to give it a make-over and plate the sterling silver in 18kt gold.

The gold now makes it almost glowing like the sun on a clear summer day. It's a sparkling golden sculpture. Whenever i look at it I feel I need to put some sunglasses on. Well, almost ;-))

Get your own carry-on sunshine!
