Belle Cushion Cut Natural Citrine Engagement Ring in 14K White Gold

Bottled sunlight, cut into a cushion. The Belle is a citrine engagement ring for the bride whose warmth walks in before she does — a natural 2.5 carat cushion-cut citrine glowing honey-gold at the center of a vintage-inspired setting, framed by moissanite or natural diamond accents in cool solid white gold or platinum.

Honey, Amber, and Late-Afternoon Light

Citrine is the sun-keeper of the quartz family: a natural gemstone in shades that run from pale champagne to deep honey-amber, long associated with prosperity, energy, and enduring happiness. The Belle’s center stone is a natural citrine of approximately 2.5 carats, a generous 8 x 8 mm square that fills the finger with warm golden light. It is also the classic November birthstone, which makes this ring doubly meaningful for autumn birthdays and harvest-season proposals. Dive into the stone’s lore in our guide to citrine meaning and symbolism, or see the whole sunlit family in our citrine rings collection.

Why the Cushion Cut Flatters Citrine

The cushion cut — a soft-cornered square, like a pillow — is a romantic, vintage-leaning shape whose large facets act as broad mirrors for color. On citrine, that means wide flashes of honey and gold rather than tiny sparks, so the stone reads warm and luminous across a room. The equal-sided profile sits beautifully centered on the hand; explore the silhouette further among our cushion cut engagement rings, and get setting and styling ideas in the citrine engagement ring guide.

Warm Stone, Cool Metal

Setting a golden stone in white metal is a deliberate contrast: the cool band makes the citrine look warmer, and the citrine makes the metal look brighter. Choose from four solid options in the drop-down — every one a solid precious metal, priced clearly with no upgrade fees:

• 10K white gold — the hardest and most affordable of the golds, with excellent everyday durability.
• 14K white gold — the most popular all-rounder, balancing strength, richness, and value.
• 18K white gold — the richest gold content, with a warm, luxurious feel and premium heft.
• Platinum — naturally white, densest of the options, and hypoallergenic.

Our 10K vs 14K vs 18K karat guide walks through durability, color, and value so you can choose with confidence.

Choose Your Accent Stones

The vintage-inspired setting carries your choice of accents: moissanite (D color, VVS1 clarity, Mohs 9) — a real lab-grown gemstone with more fire than diamond — or natural diamond (G/H color, I1 eye-clean, Mohs 10, conflict-free) for the traditional heirloom finish.

Sizing & Care

The Belle is handmade to order in your exact size, with half and quarter sizes available — measure first with our ring sizing guide, since readings can differ by up to half a size between jewelers’ sizers and mandrels. Citrine is a quartz at 7 on the Mohs scale: durable for daily wear with slightly gentler habits than a sapphire would need. Clean it with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush; skip harsh chemicals and prolonged direct sun in storage, take it off for gym and garden, and keep it boxed away from harder stones. An optional professional appraisal can be selected from the drop-down.
