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

This pair of pear shaped citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company presents an exceptional combination of color, cut, and clarity that will immediately appeal to an educated buyer. Individually they weigh 1.81 carats and 1.96 carats, and their matched pear silhouettes measure 10.10 by 6.87 by 5.16 millimeters and 10.32 by 6.73 by 5.45 millimeters respectively. The gems display an orangish yellow hue with medium intense color saturation that reads as warm and lively under both daylight and artificial light. Each stone is finished in a mixed brilliant cut, a faceting style that combines step facets with brilliant pavilion cutting to optimize both scintillation and depth of color. The polish is graded excellent, producing clean facet junctions and crisp reflections, which helps these stones present as bright, lively and highly wearable in a variety of fine jewelry settings.

Clarity for both stones is reported as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which for citrine means they are essentially eye-clean and any internal characteristics are minimal and non-distracting without magnification. From a gemological perspective, citrines with VVS visibility at the unaided eye demonstrate superior lapidary sorting and careful rough selection, because many commercial citrines show more noticeable inclusions or colour zoning. The mixed brilliant cut further aids visual performance by masking minute inclusions and enhancing the apparent brightness by refracting light through multiple small facets. The dimensions of these pears produce pleasing proportions for an earring pair or a complementary pendant set. At approximately ten by seven millimeters they are large enough to register on the wrist or neckline without feeling oversized, and their pavilion depths near five millimeters give a balanced crown to pavilion ratio that maximizes brilliance while maintaining a comfortable profile in bezel or prong mountings.

Color and origin are two of the strongest value drivers for these stones. The orangish yellow tone, classified as medium intense, falls within the most desirable palette for citrine because it reads as both rich and wearable, able to complement warm gold or contrast attractively with white metals. These stones originate from Brazil, a historically significant and prolific source for quality quartz varieties including citrine. Brazilian deposits produce a wide range of citrine color, and the best material often shows consistent, saturated color with good clarity. It is important for buyers to note that both stones have been heat treated, an industry-standard and permanent enhancement commonly used to convert pale or amethyst material into the vivid yellow to orange tones that consumers seek. Heat treatment is stable, does not require special handling, and is fully disclosed. From a connoisseur’s viewpoint, disclosure of treatment and a reputable origin enhance rather than detract from value because they allow precise expectations about durability, color stability, and potential future appraisal.

What sets this offering apart in the market is the rarity of finding two stones that match as closely as these do across multiple quality parameters. Matched pairs of citrine that align in carat weight, dimensions, hue intensity, clarity grade and cut symmetry are uncommon, particularly at the nearly two carat size point and with such eye-clean appearance. For design-minded buyers and jewelers seeking a classic pair for premium stud earrings or a bespoke matched pendant set, this pairing eliminates the common compromise of mismatched color or size. From an investment and aesthetic standpoint, a well-matched pair reduces the need for additional adjustments or costly recutting, and preserves maximum original weight. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the provenance and descriptions of these gems. We recommend that buyers seeking independent verification request a gemological report from a recognized laboratory for complete assurance, and we are pleased to facilitate additional high-resolution photography, facet analysis, and mounting consultation to ensure these citrines meet your exacting standards.

Care and practical considerations round out why these citrines are worthy of attention from an educated buyer. Citrine is durable for daily wear when properly set, with a Mohs hardness of seven and good toughness for faceted jewelry. Given the excellent polish and stable heat enhancement, normal cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush is appropriate. Ultrasonic cleaning is generally acceptable for heat-treated citrine but should be avoided if the stone is set with any known fractures or within a repairable mount until a jeweler inspects the setting. For those commissioning bespoke jewelry, prong settings will maximize light return and brilliance, while bezel settings will provide additional protection for active wearers. Because matched pairs of this quality are rare on the open market, we encourage interested buyers to contact The Natural Gemstone Company to discuss securing the pair, custom setting options, and documentation. Our team will provide full disclosure, additional images on request, and guidance on settings that preserve weight and maximize visual impact.
