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

Introducing a beautiful matched pair of transparent orange carnelians offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, each stone speaking to both classic elegance and everyday wearability. The two stones weigh 2.79 carats and 2.99 carats respectively, shaped as smooth, oval cabochons that display an intense, saturated orange color. The dimensions of the first gem measure 10.26 by 8.16 by 4.41 millimeters, and the companion stone measures 10.17 by 8.07 by 4.71 millimeters, making them a near ideal match for symmetric jewelry designs. Both pieces have been evaluated as eye clean at eye level, they are transparent with an intense color intensity and a superb, excellent polish that allows light to glide over the domed surfaces. For full disclosure, these carnelians have been gently enhanced through dyeing, a common and accepted treatment for this material, applied to deepen and even the rich orange tone. The gemstones originate from Brazil, a classic source known for producing attractive and durable material, and their cabochon cut is designed to emphasize the warm, glowing body color that makes carnelian so beloved.

As a paired set, these carnelians are especially versatile, they translate beautifully into matched stud earrings, a balanced pendant and earring set, a pair of cufflinks for refined menswear, or a unique double set for a statement ring where the stones can flank a center motif. The cabochon profile lends itself gracefully to bezel settings, which protect the stone and highlight the smooth dome, and to low profile prong settings that allow the rich orange color to be seen from the side as well as from the top. Warm metal choices like 18 karat yellow gold or rose gold will intensify the gemstone warmth, while sterling silver or white gold will create a modern contrast that emphasizes the purity of the orange hue. For designers seeking a little sparkle, a thin halo of small diamonds or white sapphires can add contrast without overpowering the integrity of the carnelian color. Given the dimensions and weights, the stones sit comfortably as everyday wear pieces, neither too large for sensitive settings nor too small to be noticed, and because they are a closely matched pair, they will provide symmetrical balance in any matched design.

Caring for dyed carnelian requires a gentle approach to preserve color and polish, and we are happy to provide straightforward care guidance with each purchase. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong household chemicals and to very high temperatures, and clean the stones with mild soap and warm water using a soft brush, followed by a gentle drying with a soft, lint free cloth. Ultrasonic cleaners and harsh steam cleaning are not recommended for dyed material, because those methods can affect the surface and the enhancement. We source our gemstones responsibly, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the quality and the description of each item, offering personalized service to help you with matching, setting advice, and custom design coordination. If you would like professional recommendations for mounting styles, metal selection, or design sketches, our team can assist, and we can provide close up photos and measurements to ensure you are confident before commissioning any setting. These two Brazilian carnelians combine classic color, reliable durability, and matched proportions, making them an excellent choice for creating warm, wearable jewelry that will be enjoyed for years, please reach out to The Natural Gemstone Company for pricing, availability, and custom mounting options.
