Imagine sunlight gathered into a single, perfect ember, a gentle flame captured and cooled into gemstone form. This transparent 4.97 carat asscher octagon citrine glows like that ember, a warm and steady light that seems to breathe with a calm, golden pulse. Its orangish yellow hue sings of late summer orchards and soft sunsets, an intense color that is both regal and intimate.

The faceted asscher cut gives the gem a cathedral of light, with step facets that draw the eye inward and back out again, creating a jewel that is at once disciplined and full of poetry. The cut is precise, the angles resolved to conjure flashes of brilliance and geometric grace, each plane polished to perfection, offering an excellent polish that lets the color and clarity speak without obstruction.
