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

One glance at this matched pair of pear shape yellow citrines and you can see why they stand apart from the usual market offerings, their warm golden glow and clear transparency speaking to careful selection and fine cutting. These stones weigh 1.78 carats and 1.94 carats respectively, and their dimensions read 10.38 x 7.05 x 4.61 mm and 10.15 x 7.10 x 5.53 mm, proportions that are ideal for elegant stud or drop earring designs, and for paired accents in rings and pendants. Each gem has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize fire and scintillation, and they have an excellent polish that delivers crisp facet reflections and a smooth touch. Evaluated at eye level, both stones carry a clarity grade of very very slightly included, which is a substantial advantage over many commercial citrines and lower grade quartz on the market that commonly show visible inclusions or cloudiness. The medium color intensity hits the perfect balance between a pale lemon and a deep topaz yellow, offering versatility that reads as luxurious without appearing gaudy, and these citrines have been responsibly heat treated to achieve a stable, uniform tone.

The story of how these two stones came together adds to their appeal, and it is a story rooted in provenance and hands on craft. Sourced from a single Brazilian pocket, these citrines were discovered within the same vein during a small scale collection, meaning they share the same geological fingerprint and original color tendencies. At The Natural Gemstone Company we prioritize sourcing pairs from a single locale whenever possible, because pairing stones from the same pocket produces better visual harmony and matched optical behavior than assembling sets from disparate lots. After extraction the two rough stones were set aside by our field buyers as a potential pair, then passed to an experienced cutter who evaluated their crystal orientation, included structure, and color zoning to orient the mixed brilliant faceting for maximum light return. The cutter employed subtle asymmetry in pavilion depth to balance each stone to the other, a level of attention that creates the pleasing duo you see now. The controlled heat treatment used here is a standard and transparent enhancement in the trade, applied to refine the yellow hue without compromising clarity or stability, and the subsequent excellent polish completes the transformation from raw material to jewelry grade gem.

When comparing these citrines to other options on the market, several strengths become immediately clear, and these strengths translate into tangible value for a buyer. Many mass market citrines are either overheated to a brownish orange, or they are assembled from smaller, disparate pieces to copy a matched look, resulting in less consistent color, uneven brilliance, and more visible blemishes. By contrast, this pair offers matched medium color intensity, high clarity at eye level, and finely executed mixed brilliant cuts that deliver both depth and sparkle. Compared to synthetic alternatives or low cost glass imitations, natural Brazilian citrine retains the unique refractive qualities and internal character that only natural quartz can show. Compared to higher priced rare yellow gemstones, these citrines provide approachable luxury, giving strong visual impact at a fraction of the cost of rare natural stones while maintaining superior transparency and cut. The slightly different carat weights add natural character rather than detract, and the measurements are sufficiently close to produce balanced symmetry when set, especially in designs that celebrate the organic pairing of natural gems.

Finally, thinking about design and long term enjoyment, this pair is exceptionally versatile, enduring, and wearable, a realistic daily option that does not sacrifice elegance. The pear shape with mixed brilliant facets flatters most settings, catching light at the tip and across the broad table, and the size and proportions make these stones especially suited to paired drop earrings, mirrored ring settings, or even a sophisticated asymmetric necklace where two gems sit side by side. The VVS clarity offers clean, luminous windows into the gem, minimizing the need for heavy bezels and allowing open prong settings to showcase brilliance to the fullest. If you are creating a custom piece, The Natural Gemstone Company can advise on prong counts, bezel rails, and mounting angles that best preserve the mixed brilliant optics and the warm Brazilian color. For customers comparing options, these citrines represent a superior blend of natural provenance, carefully coordinated sourcing, expert cutting, and transparent enhancement, delivering a matched pair that reads as refined and authentic, and that will bring consistent beauty to your design for years to come.
