4.00 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Carnelian Pair from Brazil

Imagine slipping into the warm glow of a sunset captured in stone, a radiant moment you can hold in your hand, or gift to someone you love, from The Natural Gemstone Company. This exquisite pair of marquise shaped orange carnelians, weighing 2.04 carats and 1.96 carats respectively, are the kind of gems that kindle joy the moment light touches them. Each stone is cabochon cut to emphasize a silky, luminous surface that invites the eye to drift and linger. The larger gem measures 16.31 by 5.22 by 3.85 millimeters, while the slightly more delicate companion measures 16.27 by 5.18 by 3.64 millimeters, creating a perfectly balanced pair for matched earrings, a mirrored pendant set, or an asymmetrical designer ring. Originating from Brazil, these carnelians possess a beautiful transparency that allows their intense orange hue to glow from within, a color intensity that feels like a celebration, and an excellent polish that gives them a tactile, inviting finish.

Beyond their physical dimensions these stones speak to intimate moments and lasting memories, clarity that is eye clean when evaluated at eye level ensures that there is nothing to interfere with the warm, uninterrupted field of color that defines their charm. The marquise shape adds an element of graceful motion, an elegant elongation that flatters every design it enters. The cabochon cut softens the light into a smooth, even sheen, enhancing the deep orange tone and creating a sense of inner light that draws people closer. These carnelians have been enhanced by dyeing, a common and accepted treatment that deepens and stabilizes their vivid color, allowing you to rely on their radiant presence over time. Each piece has been polished to an excellent finish so that every angle and curve catches the eye and holds it, making these stones ideal for a pair of heirloom earrings, a pendant that becomes a signature piece, or a bespoke creation meant to mark a milestone.

When you envision these gems set in metal picture them paired with warm yellow gold for a classic embrace of color, or with soft rose gold to accentuate their romantic, sunset tones. For a modern and striking look set them in a sleek bezel to highlight the smooth cabochon silhouette, or choose open prong settings that allow light to travel around the stone and reveal the full depth of their orange glow. These carnelians are perfect for someone who treasures color and personality in their jewelry, a person who delights in the story behind each gem and the memory it embodies. Our gem specialists at The Natural Gemstone Company can advise on settings that protect and flatter these cabochons, suggesting gemstone pairings such as warm brown diamonds or champagne colored gems for a layered, textural effect, or small white accent stones to add contrast and sparkle. We are happy to assist with custom design ideas that let you create an emotional piece that will be worn and remembered for years.
