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

This matched pair of pear shape yellow citrines combines measured precision with lively optical performance, suitable for applications that emphasize symmetry, clarity, and consistent tone. The two stones weigh 1.86 carats and 1.94 carats respectively, with dimensions of 10.49 by 7.08 by 4.80 millimeters and 10.51 by 7.21 by 5.19 millimeters. Each stone is cut in a mixed brilliant style, and the quality of the cutting and finishing is evident in an excellent polish that produces clean facet junctions and strong facet contrast. The color intensity is classified as medium intense, providing a saturated yellow that remains transparent and even across both stones. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the stones present as transparent and free of any visible inclusions that would interrupt light flow in typical jewelry settings. These citrines have been heat treated, a standard enhancement for this material, and originate from Brazil, a source known for consistently well colored specimens. The Natural Gemstone Company offers these stones as a matched pair, with attention to pairing and facet alignment that supports symmetrical presentation.

The reflective qualities of these citrines are central to their appeal, and the mixed brilliant cut is the primary driver of their dynamic light performance. The combination of larger pavilion facets and a well proportioned crown produces an interplay of brilliance and scintillation, where flashes of yellow and white light alternate as the piece moves. The transparency and even coloration allow reflections to maintain a clear, warm hue rather than becoming clouded by internal features, which enhances the perception of depth while preserving surface brightness. Because the pair is closely matched in dimension and cut, reflections align and mirror each other when set side by side, creating intentional symmetry that reads as a single composed design element. Measured depth proportions are balanced, approximately 46 percent and 49 percent respectively, a range that supports efficient light return while avoiding undue windowing or excessive darkening of the pavilion. While citrine does not exhibit strong dispersion compared to higher dispersion gems, these stones compensate with crisp facet delineation and repeatable facet reflections that produce star like patterns across the table and crown planes, particularly when light sources are positioned to accentuate symmetry.

From a design and setting perspective, the pair is well suited to matched earring applications and linked pendant treatments where mirror imaging is desired, and they are equally appropriate for bespoke pieces that exploit directional emphasis inherent to the pear shape. The tapered silhouette provides a visual axis, and when both stones are oriented to mirror each other, the resulting bilateral symmetry reinforces balance on the wearer. Attention to bezel or prong design that preserves crown angles and does not obscure the girdle profile will maximize the visible facet geometry and reflective interplay. The excellent polish minimizes surface diffusion, so settings that allow direct exposure to light will enhance apparent brilliance and scintillation. Heat treatment in citrine is a stable enhancement, and standard care procedures that avoid prolonged exposure to strong heat and harsh chemicals will maintain color and polish. For professional gem setters and designers, these stones present reliably matched optical performance, predictable light return, and a warm, medium intense yellow that reads consistently across different mounting styles. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this pair reflects a balance of measured specifications and optical clarity, making them practical for designs that prioritize symmetry and reflective precision.
