3.13 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Citrine Pair from Brazil

This matched pair of pear shaped orangish yellow citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company offers a refined balance of size and brilliance, ideal for a variety of fine jewelry applications. The stones weigh 1.60 carats and 1.53 carats, and each displays pear dimensions of 10.06 by 7.10 by 3.89 millimeters and 10.15 by 7.07 by 4.20 millimeters respectively. Both stones are mixed brilliant cuts, a faceting style that combines step and brilliant elements to maximize scintillation and overall light return, and both show excellent polish which contributes to the crisp reflection and faceted flash you see in the accompanying images. Color is described as medium intense, which in citrine translates to a strong warm golden to orangish yellow hue that is lively without appearing overly saturated, and the stones present very good transparency throughout their bodies. The clarity grade is described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which indicates that when viewed without magnification these citrines are effectively eye clean, offering clear windows of color and brilliance that will read as high quality to informed buyers. The stones are heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement for citrine that brings out consistent warm tones, and the origin is Brazil, a source well known for producing attractive and stable citrine material.

For the educated buyer who evaluates gemstones on technical merit as well as visual appeal, the combination of medium intense color, eye clean clarity, and a mixed brilliant pear shape marks these citrines as a valuable pair for both investment and design. The mixed brilliant cut is chosen specifically to balance depth and spread, creating an attractive table size while preserving depth that enhances color saturation. The reported excellent polish reduces surface diffusion of light and heightens the clarity of internal reflection patterns, which matters when pairing gems for matched jewelry, because polish consistency ensures uniform sparkle under the same lighting. The very very slightly included clarity grade when assessed at eye level tells a gemologist informed consumer that there are no dominant inclusions to disrupt brightness or weaken the stones structurally. Heat treatment is standard for citrine and in this instance stabilizes the orangish yellow tone you see, producing consistent color between the two stones that is important for symmetry in paired applications. Origin from Brazil adds provenance, because Brazilian citrine is often well formed and free from the extensive fractures that can complicate cutting and matching processes.

Customization options are extensive, and we work with clients to ensure these citrines integrate seamlessly with existing pieces. If you are matching an existing set of jewelry, the first consideration is metal tone, and these warm orangish yellow stones respond especially well to yellow gold and rose gold settings, which augment the stones warm saturation, while white gold and platinum create a modern contrast that lets the citrine color stand out. We can advise on setting style, recommending prong settings when maximum brilliance is the priority, bezel settings for a more contemporary and secure look, or halo settings to increase perceived size and add a diamond frame that complements the citrine hue. Because the two pears are closely matched yet not identical in depth, we tailor the seat and bezel thickness to balance face up appearance, and in a paired earring design we can orient the pears to face inward for a classic look or outward for a more dynamic drop. For clients who prefer exact mirror symmetry, we can orient the girdles and culets precisely during mounting, and for those who want a continuous look with existing jewelry we offer options to pair them with accent stones such as small brilliant cut diamonds or warm tone sapphires, matching size and proportion to the citrine dimensions. If a client requests a change in weight or shape that involves re-cutting, we will discuss the trade off between final proportions and carat loss, because recutting can yield absolute symmetry but will reduce total weight.

Practical considerations and aftercare are important for long term enjoyment and value retention, and we provide guidance and services to support both. The slight variation in weight at 1.60 and 1.53 carats is within acceptable limits for paired stones, and the dimensions provided ensure a predictable seat for most custom earring and pendant designs. For a stud or drop earring application we recommend settings that provide protective positioning of the girdle, and for rings we recommend a setting that secures the pointed end of the pear to prevent knocks. Heat treated citrine is stable for normal wear, but prolonged exposure to very strong sunlight or extreme heat can cause slight fading over long periods, so we advise storing pieces out of direct sun when not being worn. Cleaning is straightforward with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and occasional professional inspection of settings will keep the stones secure. As part of our service The Natural Gemstone Company can provide high resolution photographs, measured diagrams, and upon request assistance with custom design layouts, and we can coordinate with trusted setters to realize your exact vision.
