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

This pair of transparent orange carnelians presents a balanced combination of size, color, and finish, suitable for matched jewelry applications. The two stones weigh 2.79 carats and 2.99 carats respectively. Both are oval in outline and cabochon cut, with dimensions of 10.26 by 8.16 by 4.41 mm for the 2.79 carat stone, and 10.17 by 8.07 by 4.71 mm for the 2.99 carat stone. The cabochon profile emphasizes an even color field and a smooth reflective surface, and each piece displays an intense color intensity with excellent polish. The material is dye treated as an enhancement and originates from Brazil. Color, cut, and finish together produce a pair that is visually cohesive and ready for incorporation into precision set work.

Optical and material characteristics are consistent with quality carnelian material from Brazilian sources. The stones show a vivid, warm orange hue with uniform saturation across the domed surfaces, and their transparency permits a degree of internal light transmission that enriches the perceived color depth. The cabochon cut was executed to present a continuous, uncluttered color plane, minimizing the visual impact of any natural banding that can occur in chalcedony family stones. Surface luster is described as excellent, indicating a high degree of symmetry and a well executed polish that enhances reflective highlights without distracting abrasions. As noted, the stones have been dye treated to intensify color. Such enhancement is stable under normal wear, but like all dyed materials the stones should be protected from prolonged exposure to strong chemicals, aggressive cleaning agents, steam, ultrasonic cleaning, and excessive heat. Avoid prolonged direct exposure to intense sunlight if long term color permanence is a priority.

Practical considerations for design and setting take into account the matched nature of the pair, the slight variation in weight and thickness, and the cabochon form. The near match in face size and tone makes these stones appropriate for a classic earring pair or for companion pieces in a multi stone assembly. Because cabochons are commonly and effectively protected by bezel settings, a bezel mount or a protective gallery is recommended for everyday wear to guard the polished dome and to reduce the likelihood of surface abrasion. Open back settings can further enhance light interaction for the more transparent stone, while a slightly deeper seat can accommodate the thicker example to maintain consistent face height. When considering metal choices, warm metals such as yellow gold or rose gold complement the orange hue, while white metals provide a contemporary contrast that can emphasize the stones clarity and saturation.

The Natural Gemstone Company provides these stones with full specification details to assist in selection and design planning. Exact weights and dimensions are set out to support accurate mounting and manufacture, and the origin and enhancement information are included to ensure transparent disclosure for retail and trade use. If additional imagery, spreadsheet style specification files, or mounting recommendations are required we can supply them to facilitate production.
