Surmai - Citrine Silver Ring

From the Sunheri Shaam collection by Orah Jewels and Crafts ,a ring that holds the warmth of late afternoon light. Surmai is set with a natural citrine featuring a distinctive concave cut, a technique that allows light to enter the stone, refract within its depth, and emerge with a brilliance that a conventional cut cannot produce. The result is a ring that seems lit from within.

Citrine, named for the French word for lemon, ranges in color from the palest yellow to a deep, amber-tinged gold. It belongs to the quartz family and shares its crystal structure with amethyst, the two often found in proximity in the same geological formations. Citrine has been used in jewelry since antiquity: the ancient Greeks carved it into intaglios, the Scots set it into the handles of dirks, and the Art Deco movement embraced it as a stone of particular elegance and warmth.

The concave cut on this citrine is not a standard commercial cut. It requires a skilled lapidary to hollow the facets inward rather than convex, a technique that dramatically increases the stone's interaction with light, creating internal reflections invisible in standard cutting. It is a mark of craft intentionality, and exactly the kind of detail that defines the Sunheri Shaam collection.
