Sparkling Citrine Rings

Whether you’ve already embraced sunny hues or want to carefully dip a toe into the world of color, you will love the versatility of boldly colored jewelry. It’s the perfect compliment to an outfit already packed with color, and it also gives neutral dressers an easy way to add a pretty pop to their ensemble. But what color to choose? This spring, our vote goes to yellow.

By now it’s no secret that bright, bold hues are dominating the Spring and Summer fashion scene. And the most shining star in this year’s knockout colors is a bold, cheery shade of yellow. Yellow is the perfect color to dress yourself in this season thanks to its happy connotations and range of hues that flatter any skin tone.

If our bubbling enthusiasm for the virtues of yellow haven’t convinced you, consider that the beautiful citrine gemstone mimics the season-defining color. Citrine is a lovely yellow stone that ranges in shade from pale yellow to rich ochre, and is also the November birthstone. The boldly colored gemstone makes a stunning center stone for rings, which is precisely how we plan to flaunt our yellow through Fall. Check out some of our favorite picks for the perfect citrine ring:

Vintage Style White Gold and Citrine Ring

For diehard romantics who appreciate vintage elegance, the white gold and citrine ‘Enchanted’ ring is just right. The citrine center stone is dainty enough that it doesn’t overwhelm the vintage style filigree ring design.

2.75 Carat Citrine and Diamond Cocktail Ring

If you’re looking for a gorgeous cocktail ring in this summer’s hottest hue, look no further. The whopping 2.75 carat citrine gemstone (shown at top) is surrounded by a demure halo of sparkling diamonds that also encircle the white gold band. This cocktail ring is guaranteed to add a little drama to your wardrobe, and is special enough to pass down as an heirloom piece.

White Gold Citrine and Diamond Dazzle Heart Ring

Women with a love of all things girly and sweet will gravitate towards this saccharine citrine ring. A heart-shaped center gemstone is surrounded by a halo of diamonds and set in 14K solid white gold for dazzling effect.

This Valentine’s Day, Have a Heart

One of the most famous symbols of Valentine’s Day love is the heart. The universally-revered shape is practically synonymous with the holiday, so much so that nearly every Valentine’s Day gift is heart-shaped. From red heart-shaped candy boxes and helium heart balloons to heart-printed flower vases and jewelry, it’s all been done in the name of love.

Heart-shaped jewelry in particular has been a hugely popular Valentine’s Day gift; especially the omnipresent heart-shaped pendant. Though this traditional style is loved by many, Apples of Gold carries many fresh and novel heart-shaped jewelry designs to choose from. We’ve highlighted some of our favorite finds below to make Valentine’s Day shopping easier this year. From tri-color gold heart rings to a chic twist on the heart shaped pendant, the stunning selection is sure to warm your Valentine’s heart.

Heart-Shaped Jewelry, Served With a Twist

Tri-Color Gold and Diamond Heart Ring

Rings are a great jewelry choice for Valentine’s Day, and this stunner is no exception. The 14k white gold ring features three staggered hearts in white, yellow and rose gold. As mentioned last week, a touch of rose gold is the perfect way to bring pink into your Valentine’s Day gift.

Naturally Cultured South Sea Pearl Heart Shaped Ring

This gorgeous white gold ring (pictured at top) features a humongous South Sea pearl surrounded by an abstract heart of diamonds. The huge 9 mm size of this lustrous pearl makes a statement like only a cocktail ring can, and the halo of diamonds add a finishing sparkle to the style. This ring is the ideal gift for a stylish Valentine who sticks with traditional looks – think Jackio O., or J. Crew’s effortless East Coast chic.

Diamond, White and Rose Gold Heart Pendant

The typical diamond-encrusted heart pendant gets a sassy makeover with a tiny rose gold heart mounted on the side. The off-kilter heart gives the pendant a modern, fun vibe that will look beautifully delicate hanging from your Valentine’s neck. This pendant is also an adorable Valentine’s  gift choice for moms-to-be and moms with a young child; the large heart can represent mom while the mini rose gold heart is symbolic of the baby.
