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

This matched pair of transparent yellow citrines offered by The Natural Gemstone Company combines precise gemological characteristics with an appealing visual harmony, making them especially well suited for a refined pair of earrings. The stones weigh 1.66 carats and 1.70 carats respectively, and present as round shape citrines cut in a mixed brilliant style. Their measured dimensions are 7.80 x 7.78 x 4.87 millimeters and 7.82 x 7.74 x 5.34 millimeters, which yields a very close correspondence in face up diameter and overall presence. Both stones display a medium color intensity that reads as a warm golden yellow in daylight and artificial light, and they are transparent with an eye clean clarity grade as evaluated at eye level. The polish on both stones is graded excellent, enhancing facet crispness and surface reflection. For full disclosure the pair has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement in the citrine trade that refines color, and their documented origin is Brazil, a long established source for high quality citrine material.

The mixed brilliant cut is a primary reason these stones deliver matching brilliance suitable for earrings, because it balances crown facet arrangement for scintillation with a pavilion geometry that supports strong light return. The crown facets create lively flashes of light when the wearer moves, while the pavilion facets, proportioned to the slightly varying depths of the two stones, work to concentrate and reflect light back through the table. The excellent polish contributes to crisp facet junctions and reduced light leakage, which increases perceived brightness. Even though one stone is modestly deeper than the other, the face up diameters and overall proportions are closely matched, which is more important in earrings where paired symmetry is most noticeable to the eye. When paired in a stud setting, or as the focal points of a halo or drop design, the consistent facet pattern and polish ensure that the stones will respond to the same lighting conditions with similar sparkle and color saturation.

Clarity and color together determine the practical value of these citrines for an educated buyer, and in this case both attributes support their suitability for fine jewelry. Eye clean clarity means there are no inclusions visible to the naked eye at standard viewing distances, which preserves optical performance and minimizes the chance that an internal feature will interrupt a beam of light or create a distracting inclusion reflection. The medium color intensity gives a true citrine personality, warm and golden without becoming overly dark, and this tonal range is versatile for pairing with a variety of metals and settings. Heat treatment, which is declared here, is a widely accepted practice that improves color stability and uniformity, and when properly done it does not compromise durability. Origin information from Brazil adds provenance value because Brazilian citrines are often characterized by good transparency and attractive warm tones, and sourcing from known localities supports traceability and quality control. At The Natural Gemstone Company we evaluate each pairing for visual match, color consistency, and cutting quality, ensuring that the pair meets the expectations of discriminating buyers.

For earring design these citrines are particularly well matched and ready to shine, because matching brilliance is as important as matching weight and color when worn as a pair. The similar face up appearance and coordinated facet reflections produce balanced facial symmetry, which is immediately apparent when the stones sit at the ear lobe. These sizes are comfortable for daily wear, offering presence without overwhelming proportions, and they adapt gracefully to a range of settings including classic four prong studs that maximize light entry, low bezel mounts that highlight clean outlines, halo settings that increase apparent size and accentuate sparkle, and drop assemblies that allow motion to showcase scintillation. In terms of metal choice yellow gold will complement the warm yellow tone and enhance the golden effect, while white gold or platinum will present a brighter contrast that emphasizes sparkle, and rose gold offers a contemporary option that harmonizes with warm hues. If you prefer precise guidance on setting dimensions or want a custom mounting to optimize light performance, The Natural Gemstone Company can provide measured recommendations based on the exact dimensions provided. These citrines represent a technically sound pair for quality earring work, combining matched brilliance, solid gemological credentials, and natural appeal in a package that will perform beautifully for the wearer.
