0.90 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Orange Citrine Pair from Brazil

This pair of transparent orange citrines presents a carefully matched set, each stone cut to maximize brilliance and color. The individual weights are 0.44 carats and 0.46 carats, and both are fashioned in a round shape with mixed brilliant cuts to balance scintillation and depth. Measured dimensions are 5.03 x 5.03 x 3.41 mm for the 0.44 carat stone, and 5.04 x 5.10 x 3.40 mm for the 0.46 carat stone, providing near parity in face up appearance and pavilion profile. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates minimal internal characteristics that do not detract from visual appeal when viewed without magnification. Color is described as intense, an even orange saturation that reaches across the table and facets without visible zoning, and polish is excellent, reflecting precision lapidary work that produces sharp facet junctions and lively return of light. There is no enhancement, the stones are untreated, and the origin is Brazil, where these specimens were extracted and prepared under controlled cutting protocols.

The provenance and pairing story further enhance the value of these citrines, they were sourced together from the same Brazilian lot during a targeted selection process intended to yield companion stones suitable for matched jewelry. In the field, experienced buyers inspected rough material from adjacent pockets and identified crystals that shared consistent crystal habit and color chemistry, then sent those crystals for cutting to achieve complementary proportions. During cutting and grading the pair was retained together, allowing cutters to harmonize facet angles and table sizes to deliver symmetry in optics and weight. The result is a matched pair with tightly controlled parameters, where the subtle differences in weight and dimension are intentional, preserving as much of the natural crystal as possible while producing a visually congruent set. The fact that these citrines are unenhanced is notable, because many commercial citrines are derived from heat treated amethyst, however these two exhibit their intense orange color naturally, a characteristic that speaks to the specific trace element balance present in their Brazilian source. Evaluated at eye level, the stones appear effectively clean, while the mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish were chosen to emphasize fire and brilliance without sacrificing the integrity of the natural color.

For practical use and design, this pair is well suited for earrings, matched accents in a bespoke ring, or paired stones in a pendant design where symmetry and matched color are essential. The near 5 mm range dimensions make them versatile for traditional stud settings or for halo designs where their intense orange hue will contrast attractively with both warm and neutral metal tones. Citrine is a durable quartz variety for everyday wear, and with ordinary care including avoidance of prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning in the presence of fractures, these stones will retain their luster. The Natural Gemstone Company provides complete measured parameters including carat weights, dimensions, cut description, clarity evaluation and origin information with every listing, ensuring transparent documentation for designers and collectors. Because this pair was selected and cut as companions, they represent a coherent, ready to set option for projects that require matched color and optical performance, reflecting both the natural character of Brazilian citrine and the attention to detail applied by cutters and graders throughout the sourcing chain.
