About Madeira Citrine:  Named for its color’s resemblance to Madeira wines.  Madeira Citrine is generally more valuable than the lighter yellow Citrines.  Citrine is a variety of quartz whose color ranges from pale yellow to brown. Citrine has a long history including being mentioned in the old testament as one of the breastplate stones and served as a protective talisman for medieval Celts and Scots. But it was really Queen Victoria (r. 1837-1901) and her love of all things Scottish, who instigated the fashion for citrine jewelry.

About 14k gold fill: 14K gold-filled wire is a professional jewelers grade wire.  Gold-filled wire is not plated. It is a tube of solid 14K gold mechanically bonded to a brass or silver base. There is 100 times more gold in gold filled than in gold plate wire. This layer of gold must be a minimum of 1/20th of the total metal weight to be called gold filled. The color looks exactly like 14k gold.  It is tarnish-resistant, safe for sensitive skin, and unlike gold plate, it will not wear off. It is a great way to enjoy affordable gold jewelry.
