0.92 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Yellowish Orange Citrine Pair from Brazil

This is a matched pair of beautiful, transparent citrines weighing 0.47 carats and 0.45 carats respectively, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. Each stone is round in shape with a yellowish orange hue and precise dimensions of 5.03 x 5.07 x 3.43 mm for the 0.47 carat stone, and 5.05 x 5.06 x 3.41 mm for the 0.45 carat stone. Both stones are fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant style crown with a faceted pavilion for optimized light return and dispersion in quartz. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning they read as eye clean in practical use while exhibiting only extremely minor internal characteristics under magnification. Color intensity is intense, polish is excellent, enhancement is by heat treatment, and the origin is Brazil, a source renowned for well colored, structurally stable citrines from Minas Gerais and surrounding districts.

Carat weight is a central determinant of value and rarity, and these two stones occupy a particularly attractive segment of the market because they are close to the half carat mark each. One carat equals 200 milligrams, so these gems at 0.47 and 0.45 carats represent substantial mass for faceted citrine in a round mixed brilliant form, and that mass directly affects perceived presence and market price. In colored gemstones pricing is rarely linear, smaller increases in carat weight near common thresholds such as a half carat or one carat produce disproportionate increases in value. For an educated buyer, the nearly matched half carat weights mean that the pair will display balanced visual weight in earrings or a pair set in bespoke jewelry, without the compromise of visible size discrepancy. The dimensions you see are in harmony with the weights, which is typical for quartz minerals with a specific gravity around 2.65, and the slightly deeper pavilion proportions present here support both durability and optical performance, while retaining carat weight in a manner that maximizes face up size.

Beyond simple mass, the way these citrines convert their weight into visual impact is enhanced by the mixed brilliant cut and the intense color saturation. Citrine derives its color from traces and structural features in natural quartz, and heat treatment is a common, stable enhancement to intensify orange and yellow tones, and to remove undesirable brownish overtones. Because heat treated citrines are stable over time and under normal wear, the treatment is widely accepted in trade and does not detract from the intrinsic appeal of a strongly colored, well cut stone. The clarity grade reported as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level assures that the gems will appear clean to the unaided eye, which is of high relevance to buyers who prioritize visual purity in finished jewelry. The excellent polish further enhances light return and sparkle, allowing the intense yellowish orange hue to present consistently under varied lighting conditions. Origin information is not merely provenance trivia, it informs geological context and typical inclusion signatures, and Brazilian citrines from reputable localities are known for their attractive crystal habit and stable color when properly cut, adding confidence for collectors and jewelers alike.

When assessing value for purchase, consider that this matched pair offers rare combination of balanced weight, superior color, and eye clean clarity, which collectively command a premium in the market. For projects where symmetry, matched hue, and near half carat presence are required, such as classic stud earrings, fine channel set pieces, or a matched pair in a custom design, the uniformity of weight and dimension simplifies design decisions and reduces waste during mounting. The Natural Gemstone Company sources and evaluates each stone with attention to cut proportions, spectral saturation, and clarity at eye level, and we are transparent about heat treatment and Brazilian origin so that buyers can make informed, confident decisions. If you seek a matched pair that offers tangible presence without stepping into larger price bands, these citrines present an excellent proposition for both connoisseurs and design driven clients.
