A soft pillow of pure gold.

Hand-finished in solid 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium plating, it is a modern-yet-timeless citrine engagement ring for anyone drawn to honeyed light and cushioned curves.

The cushion cut, softened and golden
The cushion cut takes a square outline and rounds every corner, giving the citrine a gentle, pillow-like shape that feels both vintage and utterly current. Its broad, open facets pool the golden color across the whole stone, so the ring glows rather than merely sparkles. It is a distinctive silhouette that stands apart from the everyday round solitaire — the kind of design you will find among our unique engagement rings and the broader family of colored-stone gemstone engagement rings.
The natural citrine
Citrine is the golden variety of quartz, loved for a color that glows from champagne to rich honey. This center measures a generous 8 x 8 mm and weighs approximately 2.5 carats — a bold, warm stone that commands attention on the finger. Because it is natural, each citrine has its own subtle depth of tone, so yours will share the same radiant golden-yellow character as our photos with gentle individual variation. See how the color plays across the rest of our citrine rings collection, and if you are weighing warm gemstones our guide to how topaz and citrine compare is a helpful read.
Sparkling simulated diamond accents
Tracing the setting, a scatter of simulated diamonds adds crisp white brilliance that lifts and frames the golden center. They are a bright, budget-friendly way to bring classic engagement-ring shimmer to the design, and they make the warm citrine glow all the more. Would you rather a lab-grown diamond or moissanite accent? Just message us — most designs can be tailored to your taste.
Solid sterling silver with a rhodium finish
The ring is crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished with rhodium — the same precious metal used on fine white-gold jewelry. That rhodium finish gives the band a bright, mirror-white luster and adds a protective shield that helps resist tarnish and everyday scratches, keeping the silver looking freshly polished. The result is nickel-free, hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin, with a comfort fit designed for everyday wear.

Sizing & care
Choose your size at checkout. If you are between sizes or unsure, we are happy to help — and if the fit is not quite right, resizing is available and starts from a modest fee. To keep the citrine and rhodium finish luminous, remove the ring before showering, swimming or applying lotions, avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners and prolonged direct sunlight, and store it in the velvet box when not worn. A soft, dry cloth restores the shine. Looking for a design that breaks from tradition? Our feature on fantasy-inspired engagement rings celebrates exactly that.

Frequently asked questions
Is the citrine natural?
Yes. The center is a natural citrine, the golden-yellow November birthstone, with color that forms in the earth. Each stone has its own subtle depth of tone rather than being uniform.
What is a cushion cut?
A cushion cut is a square shape with softly rounded corners, giving a gentle, pillow-like outline. Its broad facets spread the golden color across the whole stone for a warm, glowing look.
How big is the center stone?
The cushion citrine measures approximately 8 x 8 mm and weighs around 2.5 carats — a bold, finger-filling size with plenty of golden presence.
What are the accent stones?
Sparkling simulated diamonds frame the setting, adding crisp white brilliance that makes the golden citrine glow even deeper. Prefer a lab-grown diamond or moissanite accent? Message us and we will tailor it.
What metal is it made from?
Solid 925 sterling silver, finished with rhodium for a bright white luster and extra protection against tarnish and scratches. It is nickel-free and hypoallergenic.
What does the rhodium finish do?
Rhodium is the same precious metal used to finish fine white gold. It gives the silver a mirror-bright shine and adds a protective layer that keeps the ring looking freshly polished.
Will my citrine look exactly like the photos?
It will share the same warm golden-yellow character, with gentle individual variation in tone — a hallmark of a natural stone. Yours will read the same radiant honey-gold as our images.
Is citrine durable enough for daily wear?
Citrine sits at 7 on the Mohs scale, making it well suited to everyday wear with normal care. Avoid hard knocks and remove the ring for rough activities to keep the stone pristine.
Can this be an engagement ring?
Absolutely. This cushion citrine ring makes a warm, non-traditional engagement ring, and it works equally well as a promise ring, birthstone gift or anniversary keepsake.
Is this a good November birthstone gift?
Yes. Citrine is the November birthstone, so it is a thoughtful, golden gift for a November birthday or for anyone who loves warm, sunlit color.
Can it be engraved?
Yes. You can add a personal engraving of up to 16 characters at checkout — a date, initials or a short message. Engraved pieces are final sale, so please double-check spelling.
Will sterling silver turn my finger green?
No. Because it is genuine 925 sterling silver finished with rhodium, it resists tarnish and will not leave green marks the way low-quality plated metals can.
Does it arrive gift-ready?
Every order ships in a free luxury velvet gift box and is backed by our lifetime warranty — ready to give or to keep for yourself.
