Citrine ranges from yellow to a medium deep shade of golden but can also be yellow, greenish yellow, brownish yellow or orange. There’s a shade of citrine for everyone! Interestingly, it gets its yellow colour from the iron in the quartz.
The colour of the citrine gemstone has an enormous impact on the price of the stone. Stones with a faint colour are common and thus inexpensive. Stones with a rich evenly distributed colour are more rare and thus significantly more valuable.

White and Yellow Gold Citrine Stone Rings
Picking a citrine and diamond ring can be a challenging task. You’ll firstly need to decide which precious metal you would prefer. Choose a citrine ring in white gold or a citrine ring in yellow gold. White gold creates a very different feel to yellow gold. Yellow gold is warmer and matches the warmth of the citrine stone. White gold is cooler and will create a contrast between the warmth of the citrine and coolness of the band. Once you have made this decision, you can then decide which colour citrine you would like to opt for for your citrine and diamond ring.
