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

Across centuries citrine has been treasured for its sunlit warmth, its ability to evoke harvest and hearth, its quiet resilience, and its capacity to translate the language of light into wearable legacy. From ancient trade routes that carried golden quartz to royal treasuries, to modern ateliers where cutters and setters refine the stone for life, citrine endures as a gem that speaks to continuity and good taste. This particular matched pair offered by The Natural Gemstone Company captures that timeless conversation between nature and craft, presenting orangish yellow pears that recall golden dawns and autumn light. They are at once classical in silhouette and contemporary in clarity, stones that invite settings of classic restraint and considered ornament, pieces meant to be passed down, admired, and worn without the fickle trappings of fashion.

Each gem in this pair is described with precision, because provenance and proportion matter when assembling a matched set. The two citrines weigh 1.90 carats and 1.86 carats respectively, their pear shapes measured at 10.38 x 7.05 x 4.92 millimeters, and 10.36 x 6.87 x 5.00 millimeters. Both are cut in a mixed brilliant style, a decision that balances a lively crown brilliance with controlled pavilion dispersion, producing scintillation that feels both generous and refined. Their clarity is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, a testament to the transparency and internal cleanliness that allow light to travel freely through the gemstones. The color sits at a medium intensity, an orangish yellow that reads as sunny and warm without veering into artificial saturation, and each stone has been given an excellent polish to maximize surface luster. As with many fine citrines on the market, these stones have been heat treated, a recognized enhancement that stabilizes hue and deepens warmth, and their origin in Brazil links them to a long history of gemstone mining and cutting in regions famed for quality yellow quartz.

Pairing gemstones with this degree of accuracy requires technical expertise and an artisan sensibility, the sort of exacting work The Natural Gemstone Company prizes when selecting matched sets. Beyond matching carat weight and outline, the true craft lies in harmonizing pavilion depths, table size, crown angles, and facet alignment so that each stone responds to light in the same manner. A difference of a few hundredths of a millimeter in width, or a slight variance in pavilion angle, can alter the path of light enough to make two stones read as separate instead of unified. In this pair the near identical dimensions, the close parity of weight, the congruent mixed brilliant faceting, and the consistent medium color intensity mean that when set, these pears will mirror each other, reflecting light and tone as a single composed statement. This is particularly important for classic applications such as drop earrings, matched pendant pairs, or a mirrored double setting, where symmetry and balanced optical performance are paramount.

When designing a setting for such a matched pair one thinks first of lineage and longevity, of motifs that will honor the stones natural eloquence rather than overwhelm it. A simple bezel or a delicate prong mount in warm metals will emphasize the citrines sunlike personality, while a halo of small accent stones can lend a whisper of contrast that elevates the central pear shapes without stealing their voice. For rings or earrings the slight variance in depth between the two jewels can guide the selection of mounting depth and seat, ensuring each gem is supported and displayed to identical effect. At The Natural Gemstone Company we steward these stones with an understanding of both history and precision, and we welcome consultation to advise on settings that will preserve their beauty and legacy. These paired Brazilian citrines are an invitation to craft a piece that feels rooted in tradition, technically exact in execution, and destined to become an heirloom.
