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

This pair of pear shape purple amethysts embodies measured symmetry and consistent quality, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. The stones weigh 9.60 carats and 10.71 carats respectively, with dimensions of 18.09 x 13.11 x 8.73 mm, and 18.45 x 13.19 x 9.30 mm. Both stones are cut in a mixed brilliant style, offering a balance between step and brilliant facet arrangements that maximizes light return and maintains a refined outline. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minor and do not detract from the visual appeal when set. Color is described as medium intense, delivering a vivid purple presence without entering an overly dark tone, and the polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and lively reflections. The pair has been enhanced by controlled heat treatment, a stable and common practice for amethyst, and both stones originate from Brazil, a source known for consistent material and attractive purple hues.

The proportional relationship between the two amethysts contributes to a harmonious pairing that suits matched settings or complementary designs. Although the stones differ slightly in weight, the length and width dimensions are closely aligned, with both stones falling within a narrow range for diameter and depth. This near equivalence in size ensures that mounted pieces will exhibit a cohesive silhouette, whether they are set as a classic pair of earrings, a mirrored pendant arrangement, or a matched pair within a bespoke design. The pear outline accentuates the visual length, and the comparable table sizes allow for similar light performance across the pair. The subtle disparity in depth offers a natural variance that can enhance a handcrafted setting, allowing the cutter to orient each stone in a way that maximizes its individual brilliance while preserving overall symmetry.

Hue and saturation complement each other across the duo, producing a consistent purple character with balanced violet and reddish undertones. The medium intense color intensity provides sufficient saturation for clear chromatic presence while preserving clarity and brightness, and the mixed brilliant cut translates this color into scintillation and color flicker as the stones move. Facet geometry between the two stones appears well coordinated, enabling matching flashes and scintillation patterns, which is especially important for paired jewelry applications. The very very slightly included clarity grade, when combined with excellent polish, results in transparent viewing through the pavilion and crown, reducing the visibility of internal features under normal viewing conditions. Heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and enhance the purple tone, and the Brazilian origin contributes to a typical color profile that is familiar to gemologists and designers, aiding predictable color matching within a set.

From a design and setting perspective, these amethysts offer practical advantage and aesthetic flexibility. Their substantial combined weight and well matched dimensions allow them to read as a singular, balanced element when placed side by side, and they will respond well to bezel, prong, or halo treatments depending on the desired emphasis of color or brilliance. The pair can be set to showcase the pointed end of the pear facing either the same direction for a tapered visual, or opposing directions for a mirrored look, offering designers options for rhythm and movement. Given the clarity and polish, minimal masking by metal is required, allowing light to enter and reflect without compromise. All descriptive details are provided by The Natural Gemstone Company, ensuring transparency regarding treatment, origin, and grading observations, and the pair is suitable for clients and projects seeking a refined, well proportioned amethyst duo with consistent hue and dependable workmanship.
