**Citrine Facts:
Citrine is one of the many members of the Quartz gemstone family. The name 'citrine' is derived from 'citron', a French word meaning 'lemon'. Its color ranges from Light-yellow to dark-yellow, gold-brown, to a type of vibrant sunny orange. The more sought after stones tend to display the darker colors. Like the other members of the quartz family, Citrine has been known and used in jewelry for 2,000 or more years. It remains a very popular gemstone.

A 7 on the Mohs scale, Citrine is durable and well suited to most jewelry applications.
Citrine's Refractive Index is 1.544 to 1.553 which seems low, but is not perceived as such. Citrines warm glowing colors shimmer like the summer sun.

It is sometimes confused with Topaz and marketed as Gold Topaz, Madeira Topaz, Spanish Topaz or even Saxon Topaz. Because Topaz is a more expensive stone, and many people can't tell the difference, the confusion persists.

Natural citrine is rare, and today most citrine quartz is the result of the heat treatment of amethyst quartz. Citrine, along with Imperial Topaz, is the birthstone for November.

**Silver Facts:
 Sterling Silver is designated as . 925.

Sterling Silver does not contain nickel or lead which is the main reason that plated items may irritate your skin.

Sterling silver will tarnish over time to a deep blue black. I will include a small anti-tarnish tab which should be kept with your sterling silver ring when you are not wearing it. The tab should last for 2 years. The tab does not prevent tarnish, but it will inhibit tarnish from forming. I will also include a cloth for polishing your ring. If you want your silver to remain clean and shinning, you must polish it regularly. 

**Shipping and insurance are quoted for delivery within the United States (free shipping in the United States only). Shipping outside of the United States will require a fee due to additional costs that vary per country. 

I love to ship internationally and have done so many times. Please check the listed countries to see if I can ship to yours.

Sales to non-US buyers may be subject to import/customs charges. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to research any custom fees or other taxes which may be imposed by their country of residence.

Benicia could serve in multiple roles - November birthday, promise or engagement ring, as part of a wedding set, or as a right hand or cocktail ring. Whatever her role in your life, she is sure to lift your spirits whenever you notice her!

Enjoy!
