Citrine Crystal Specimen- Sterling Silver Ring
Description
This one of a kind ring is crowned in a large cluster of citrine crystals. It is from Brazil, and is a rich, deep yellow-caramel colour. Citrine is one of November's birthstones, along with Topaz.I set this specimen in a fine silver bezel. The band is a broad 1/2" wide, and is made of sterling silver. The band was run through a rolling mill, against an etched brass plate, to create the undulating wave pattern you see here.
Prior to setting the specimen, I hand-polished the metal, and then tumbled it in my rock tumbler for a few hours. This process hardens the silver and makes it more durable. After I set the specimen, I gave the bezel a rich glow by using a steel brush on a rotary tool.
This ring is shaped on a soft square mandrel, which means it has a shape that is more like your finger than a round ring. It is about a size 6 1/4, but since the band is wide, your finger should be a 5 to 5 1/2 to fit comfortably. I can enlarge it about another 1/2 size through hammering, if needed.
The specimen is almost 1" across, and over 1/2" tall.
As the ring is a crystal cluster, some care needs to be taken when wearing it- for example, it may not enjoy being banged with force on a hard surface.
This lovely specimen ring arrives gift-wrapped.
