18K Yellow Gold Citrine Ring — 1.7 ct, 2.9 g

A ring in 18K yellow gold, set with a single faceted citrine recorded at 1.7 ct. The stone is held in a four-prong open basket so it sits above the finger, and the band splits into two slender parallel rails that rise and rejoin at the setting.

The open basket is the reason this ring reads the way it does. Because the citrine is held above the finger in an open gallery rather than sunk into solid metal, light passes under and around the stone instead of stopping at the setting. Beside it the split shank keeps the band visually quiet: two fine parallel lines on the hand, with the citrine carrying the eye.
