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

This matched pair comprises a 3.92 carat and a 4.00 carat pear shaped carnelian, with precise dimensions of 11.93 x 7.88 x 5.64 millimeters and 11.97 x 7.97 x 5.75 millimeters respectively. Both stones are cabochon cut with a classic domed profile and a well centered apex, exhibiting excellent symmetry for a matched earring or paired pendant application. Color is a vivid reddish orange with intense color intensity and uniform saturation across the surfaces, achieved through controlled dye treatment. Clarity is graded eye clean, evaluated at eye level, with minimal internal features visible that do not detract from the visual appeal. The polish is excellent, producing a high degree of surface luster and smooth tactile finish that enhances light transmission and the warm glow characteristic of fine Brazilian carnelian. Origin is Brazil, and the pair has been selected and matched by The Natural Gemstone Company for consistency in tone, hue, and shape.

From a lapidary and gemological perspective these cabochons demonstrate careful attention to curvature control and thickness proportionality, ensuring consistent light diffusion and optimal visual mass for the given carat weights. The domed profile is proportioned to preserve depth of color without appearing overly domed on the finger or ear, and the backs are leveled to facilitate accurate bezel seating. Dye treatment has been used to intensify and stabilize the reddish orange hue, a standard enhancement for carnelian, and it has been applied to achieve even penetration while maintaining translucency. Surface finishing was executed through graduated abrasive sequences and final rouge polishing to eliminate lapping marks and to produce the uniform specular highlights visible on the table. For setting recommendations, a low bezel or half bezel mount will protect the cabochon edge while showcasing the pear outline, and a slight seat relief in the mounting will prevent light leakage and preserve the silhouette. These pieces are ideal for clients who appreciate technical quality in organic chalcedony material, and they represent a meticulously matched pair suitable for precision jewelry work, supplied and certified by The Natural Gemstone Company.
