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

This matched pair of pear shape yellow citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a refined foundation for a custom pair of earrings, combining optical clarity, consistent color, and precise cutting. The gems weigh 1.95 carats and 1.78 carats respectively, with overall total weight of 3.73 carats. Dimensions are closely matched, at 10.15 x 6.93 x 5.05 mm and 10.14 x 7.04 x 4.86 mm, which supports symmetric design while allowing a small, intentional variation in drop and silhouette. The stones are mixed brilliant cut, a facet structure that integrates both brilliant and step cutting principles to maximize scintillation and color dispersion, and they exhibit excellent polish, which enhances light return and surface luster. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, indicating minor internal features that do not interfere with overall transparency or visual appeal when set in earrings.

Color and treatment are relevant considerations when planning a custom setting. These citrines display medium color intensity in a warm yellow range typical of Brazilian material. The stones are heat treated, which is a common and stable enhancement for citrine to achieve consistent tone and saturation, and the origin from Brazil is a positive indicator of material quality and cutting tradition. Because the hue is warm and the transparency is high, both open settings and halo settings will allow the color to read naturally, while closed back or heavily reflective mounting can intensify warmth. The mixed brilliant cutting pattern, combined with excellent polish, responds well to directional mounting that permits light ingress from the crown, so designs that expose the pavilion or use open prongs will enhance sparkle.

Practical design and mounting recommendations focus on balancing protection, symmetry, and optical performance. For studs, a three or four prong head with a V prong at the pointed end will secure the stone and maintain the pear outline, while a low profile bezel may be preferred when wearer activity warrants additional protection, noting that a full bezel will slightly mute brilliance. For drop or dangle earrings, consider mirrored orientation, with the pointed ends directed toward the ear for a classic teardrop appearance, or reversed for a more contemporary paired drop. A halo of small diamonds or fine melee can increase perceived size and add contrast without overwhelming the citrine tone, and a thin polished gallery or openwork basket will preserve light entry to exploit the mixed brilliant facets. Metal choice will influence the visual effect, yellow gold or rose gold will complement and warm the color, white gold or platinum will provide contrast and highlight brilliance, and the ultimate selection should reflect the intended design language.

Final considerations for commissioning a custom pair include slight differences in weight and minor dimension variation, which can be addressed by the bench jeweler during setting to achieve balanced visual heft and drop length. The close dimensional match and consistent color intensity mean minimal adjustment is required to present a cohesive pair, and the excellent polish plus mixed brilliant cut will reward exposures to light with lively sparkle. For a refined, wearable result, specify secure prong treatment for the pointed tip, consider an open back or light enhancing basket for maximum brightness, and select a metal tone that complements the citrine warmth. These Brazilian citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company offer technical and aesthetic attributes well suited to a custom earring project, combining reliable material quality with an adaptable pear silhouette that reads elegantly in both classic and modern settings.
