12.43 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Amethyst Pair from Brazil

This matched pair of pear shaped Brazilian amethysts from The Natural Gemstone Company immediately sets itself apart from the typical offerings on the market in both scale and quality, offering two substantial and transparent stones weighing 5.60 carats and 6.83 carats respectively, dimensions 15.77 by 10.85 by 6.65 millimeters and 15.78 by 11.25 by 7.77 millimeters, intense purple color intensity, and an excellent polish. Many competing amethyst pairs are smaller, less transparent, or poorly matched, forcing designers to compromise on balance or visual impact when creating earrings or matched set designs. These gems are a step above, with sizes that retain strong presence without appearing heavy or unwieldy, and with a level of finish and clarity that elevates the overall appearance of any jewelry piece. The origin of these stones, Brazil, is well known among connoisseurs for producing rich, saturated purple amethysts, and the heat treatment applied here is a stable, industry standard enhancement that deepens the hue while maintaining natural character, making this pair a high value choice compared with untreated stones that are either rarer or often inconsistent in color.

What truly distinguishes this pair is the flawless symmetry that is evident when the stones are viewed face on and from the side, symmetry that is rarely so well executed in two-stone suites at this size. The near identical dimensions demonstrate the cutter’s precision and commitment to creating a matched set, which results in mirrored silhouettes, consistent facet alignment, and matching crown and pavilion proportions. Symmetry matters because it governs how light is distributed and returned to the viewer, creating even flashes across both stones and preventing distracting dark areas or off-center reflections. When held together this pair presents a harmonious visual rhythm, which is especially important for pear shapes where uneven shoulders or mismatched points are easy to spot. Symmetry also simplifies mounting, enabling settings that cradle each gem uniformly and maintain the same drop, tilt, and movement, which enhances wearability and ensures the pair behaves as a single cohesive design rather than two separate components.

The mixed brilliant cut chosen for these amethysts combines the lively brilliance of a faceted crown with strategic pavilion faceting that maximizes depth and saturation, a design approach that outperforms many standard cuts used in the market for medium and large amethysts. Mixed brilliant cutting preserves the stone’s intense purple while promoting scintillation and controlled light return, so the gems show a dynamic mix of sparkle and color rather than appearing flat or exhibiting a washed out look. Compared to simple step cuts or shallow table cuts that can cause windowing and uneven color distribution, this cutting style brings out the best in each stone, emphasizing depth and color while ensuring lively sparkle under different lighting conditions. The clarity grading of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, means inclusions, if present, are minute and do not interfere with transparency or brilliance, offering eye clean appearance comparable to much higher priced pieces. Combined with the excellent polish, these factors contribute to a visual performance that rivals more expensive gemstones and makes a compelling case for choosing this pair when quality and impact matter.

From a value perspective this pair represents a rare convergence of desirable factors that are difficult to find together in the marketplace, matched weight and proportion, intense and even color, high clarity at eye level, and a superior cut and polish. Buyers who compare our offering to other amethysts will notice that many alternatives require compromises such as unequal weights, inconsistent color between stones, or lower clarity that becomes apparent once set. The Natural Gemstone Company’s sourcing from reputable Brazilian mines means provenance and consistent color profiles that are prized by designers and private collectors alike, and the judicious heat treatment applied here is an accepted practice that stabilizes color without undermining the stone’s natural origin. For custom jewelers this pair reduces labor and design risk, because the symmetry and match allow for straightforward bezels, prongs, or halo treatments that sit perfectly and look intentionally coordinated. When you factor in the time saved on matching and the reduced need for corrective recutting, the real world cost per finished piece is very competitive compared with buying two separate stones and hoping they will pair well.

If you are comparing amethyst pairs on criteria of aesthetic harmony, cutting quality, and practical value, these pear shaped Brazilian amethysts from The Natural Gemstone Company offer a superior option that is ready for immediate incorporation into high end earrings or a striking pendant and earring set. Their balanced proportions, mirror image symmetry, and mixed brilliant cut deliver both brilliance and deep, even color that stand up under scrutiny, while the very very slightly included clarity and excellent polish ensure attention goes to the stones themselves rather than to flaws or mismatches. We encourage designers and discerning buyers to consider how much easier and more rewarding the creative process becomes when the foundational elements are this well matched, and The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to provide additional images, setting recommendations, and certification details to support your project.
