A little
bottled sunlight.

The David Yurman Albion Ring is a bold, glamorous cocktail ring built around a vibrant 15mm cushion-cut citrine — around 11 carats of warm, golden light — surrounded by a shimmering pavé diamond halo and finished with the house’s signature Cable band in 18k yellow gold. Colourful, distinctive, and utterly dazzling: a statement citrine ring for modern couples who write their own rules.

Who she is

A ring for a woman who
loves bold, joyful glamour.

This is for someone who wants her ring to light up the room — literally. She loves colour, glamour, and a real statement, isn’t interested in a conventional diamond solitaire, and celebrates authenticity and self-expression over tradition. Confident, vibrant, and unafraid to stand out. If you’re searching for a bold citrine engagement ring — or an “I love you” ring that says you mean the world to me in the most dazzling way — the Albion delivers pure joyful glamour.

Nothing says “you mean the world to me” like a dazzling citrine glowing under the lights — bold, colorful, and utterly distinctive.

It’s made for the woman drawn to colored-stone and Hollywood-style design — a glamorous citrine cocktail ring, a bold statement engagement ring, or a show-stopping piece for someone who writes her own rules. Original, unforgettable, and utterly romantic.

What sets it apart

Three things that make it
special.

01

A vibrant 15mm citrine centre

At its heart is a vibrant 15mm cushion-cut citrine — around 11 carats of warm, golden colour with real presence. Citrine’s sunny glow is joyful and eye-catching, a bold departure from a traditional diamond. It’s a stone that celebrates colour and individuality, making the Albion a genuine statement the moment it catches the light.
Made to dazzle
A glowing citrine wrapped in a pavé diamond halo and the iconic Cable band — glamour that lights up the room.
02

A shimmering pavé diamond halo

The citrine is surrounded by a shimmering halo of pavé diamonds, framing the golden stone with brilliant sparkle. The halo amplifies the citrine’s glow and adds a layer of luxury, so the ring dazzles from every angle. It’s the balance of vivid colour and diamond brilliance that gives the Albion its glamorous, cocktail-ready presence.
03

The signature Cable band

The ring is finished with David Yurman’s iconic Cable band in 18k yellow gold — the sculptural twist that’s the signature of the house. That instantly recognisable detail gives the ring real design pedigree and a bold, substantial presence. Colour, sparkle, and iconic craftsmanship in one unforgettable statement piece.
The maker

About David Yurman.

David Yurman is one of the most recognisable names in American fine jewellery, celebrated for the signature Cable motif that has become an icon of the brand. The Albion collection is known for its bold, colourful cocktail rings built around vibrant gemstones. This citrine Albion is a perfect expression of that: glamorous, distinctive, and utterly dazzling, with the craftsmanship and design pedigree of a true icon behind it.

In real life

A statement, worn
with a little care.

This is a glamorous statement ring, and it’s worth knowing honestly how to enjoy it at its best. Citrine is a reasonably hard, wearable gemstone — more durable than softer stones — but as a large, prominent centre it deserves sensible care: avoid hard knocks and harsh chemicals, and clean gently. Because of the pavé halo, an occasional gentle clean and a periodic check of the small diamonds keeps everything sparkling and secure. Many people love a ring like this as a treasured statement or cocktail piece rather than a rough-and-tumble everyday band. The 18k Cable band is durable and iconic; treated kindly, the Albion stays as dazzling as the day you got it.

Can a citrine ring be an engagement ring?

Absolutely — a citrine engagement ring is a bold, joyful, non-traditional alternative to a diamond, full of warm golden colour.

Is citrine durable enough to wear?

What is a cocktail ring?

A cocktail ring is a bold, oversized statement ring designed to be noticed — typically built around a large, eye-catching centre stone. The Albion is a perfect example, and its glamour also makes it a striking, unconventional engagement ring for someone who loves colour and drama.

What is the David Yurman Cable band?
