Citrine owes its colour to trace iron trapped within the quartz as it formed, deep and slow underground. The richest stones — the deep amber-red of Madeira citrine — come from crystals exposed to greater heat within the earth, the same warmth that gives the finest Madeira wine its colour and lends the stone its name. Serena chose this one for that colour: less a yellow than a glow, something closer to firelight than sunshine.
Set simply, so the stone carries the ring rather than the setting.
18 carat yellow gold with Madeira citrine.
