14k yellow gold 4-6 ct citrine ring

I prefer to go to a jewerly store to buy any high-end pieces.

Years ago, I bought a ring from a home shopping network. The color of the stone was so deep and pretty but when I got mine it was washed out. Not at all like I thought I was ordering.

When I spend that kind of money, I want to see it in person.

Hi! I already tried the local route.

I can't help you, but just wanted to wish you good luck. I love citrine and seem to be finding it a challenge to find a nice piece. I've been looking for a ring as a gift for my mother and unable to find anything acceptable, even in silver. Some friends own a jewelry store and I've been asking them for over a year to bring back some citrine rings from one of their several annual buying trips. So far, they've offered up pretty much nothing other than variations of quartz... It's not the same. I'm also finding very few appealing more traditional deeper red garnet options, another gemstone I love. In the way of more traditional semi-precious stones, it seems that if you aren't in the market for blue topaz or amethyst you're out of luck. Of course, there appear to be plenty of 'junk' gemstones and of the less traditional gemstones to go around.

Overstockdotcom had a large selection of citrine last time I was shopping there, hopefully they have something you're looking for.

I agree with Stevieb and would add, quality is suffering also with all of the fast-paced mass production from the various online jewelry retailers. A good 70 percent of my jewelry purchases last year had to be returned for poor manufacturing and quality issues. That's unacceptable.

Good luck finding that. I haven't seen a ring of that description (one that I was willing to buy, that is) for years and years. I have a beautiful citrine set in 18k from more than 40 years ago and there's no way I would spend what that ring would cost today.

Your post reminded me that I haven't worn it for a long time - and I thank you for tickling my memory! Going to wear it next week!

Overstock.com; Blue Nile; Etsy; JTV might have something for you too. Years ago QVC carried...I think it was called Rio Grande citrine. It was really gorgeous and I had a 5 ct ring in 14K..but oddly enough...I've just lost track of some of my jewelry..probably from being a Q shopper since 1989...I think I bought too much over the years. Good luck in your search. Could you post if you find something? I'd be interested to know.

Here are some great sources for citrine rings: Lagos, Bluenile; Von Bargen's, Pearlman's Jewelry, Borsheim's, and of course, Tiffany and Co. In fact, Tiffany & Co, has a beautiful 6 carat citrine in Paloma Picasso's Olive Collection. The stone is a cabochon and quite beautiful. The gold looks great as the ring has olive vines extending slightly on the cabochon. It's priced at $925.00. Also, Pomellato has stunning colored gemstone jewelry but pricey.

I think my jewelry store charges 35.00 to switch a pair of silver earrings from shepherd's hook to leverbacks.
