0.85 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Citrine Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to present this matched pair of transparent orange citrines, offered with clear and verifiable gemological details for the informed buyer. The stones weigh 0.39 carats and 0.46 carats respectively, and are round in shape with dimensions of 5.08 x 5.03 x 2.93 mm and 5.04 x 5.06 x 3.32 mm. Both are cut as mixed brilliant cuts, a style that combines step and brilliant facets to optimize fire and light return in smaller round gems. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which indicates exceptionally clean appearance to the unaided eye, and together with excellent polish this pair delivers lively brilliance and a pleasing surface finish. Color intensity is described as vivid, presenting a rich orange tone that is especially desirable in citrine, and the stones have been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement that deepens and stabilizes color. The origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a well established source known for high quality gem material, and provenance contributes to both aesthetic and market appeal.

For buyers interested in bespoke jewelry, these matched citrines present multiple design opportunities that emphasize their consistent hue and complementary proportions. The near matching sizes make them ideal for classic earring sets with symmetrical balance, yet the slight difference in carat weight also lends itself to contemporary paired ring designs or bypass rings where a deliberate size contrast enhances visual interest. Their mixed brilliant cut and strong polish allow for secure prong or bezel settings without compromising light performance, and their vivid color can be paired with warm metals such as yellow gold or rose gold to intensify the orange tones, or with white metals for a modern color pop. As specialists we can provide custom design consultation, CAD renderings, and setting recommendations to ensure lapidary proportions and metal choices preserve the stones color and brilliance. Routine care is straightforward, with cleaning recommended using warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding sudden temperature extremes despite the stability of heat treatment. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the gemological information provided and can supply additional documentation, detailed photos, and appraisal support for collectors and designers seeking high quality, responsibly sourced citrine pairings.
