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

This matched pair of pear shape yellow citrines from Brazil presents a carefully considered balance of weight, proportion, and finish, suitable for fine earring designs. The two stones weigh 2.11 carats and 1.89 carats respectively, with dimensions of 10.22 x 7.16 x 5.55 mm and 10.20 x 7.17 x 5.22 mm. Both gems are cut in a mixed brilliant style and exhibit a medium color intensity that reads as a lively golden yellow under varied lighting. Clarity is evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distances, permitting unobstructed light transmission and internal reflection. Each stone has received an excellent polish, enhancing facet definition and the overall visual crispness. The citrines have been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement for this species, and their Brazilian origin is noted for consistent color and material quality. The Natural Gemstone Company provides these details to assist jewelers and designers in matching the stones to specific earring configurations.

The matching brilliance of these two citrines is the central attribute that makes them particularly well suited for earrings. Mixed brilliant faceting combines the scintillation qualities of brilliant facets with the directional light return of step components, creating varied but harmonious flashes as the stones move. Because both gems share very similar cutting proportions and an excellent polish grade, their interaction with light is consistent, minimizing perceptible differences when set as a pair. The eye clean clarity ensures that light paths are not interrupted by inclusions, so the brilliance and fire remain uniform between the two stones. The pear shape further enhances this suitability, as the tapered silhouette concentrates light toward the tip and the rounded base provides a broad table for stable reflections, creating a pleasing balance of brightness and depth in each earring. The slight variance in carat weight is small relative to the overall size, and because the dimensions are closely matched, the visual pairing will read as cohesive on the ear.

Practical considerations for setting these citrines into earrings emphasize secure mounting and complementary metal choice to maximize their matched brilliance. Settings that expose the pavilion and allow light to enter from multiple angles will enhance scintillation, with prong settings and open back bezels providing differing but effective options. A yellow gold mounting will complement the warm color tone and may intensify the perceived saturation, while white metals will present a crisp contrast and emphasize brilliance. For drop or dangle earring designs, orienting the pears with the point down will showcase the taper and encourage dynamic light play with movement, whereas pointing the tip upward can create a refined, upward lifting effect. Given the excellent polish and consistent facet geometry, a halo of small accent stones can be used without disrupting the visual balance between the pair. Routine care is straightforward, with gentle cleaning in warm soapy water and a soft brush recommended to preserve surface polish. Heat treatment in citrines is a commonly accepted practice and does not require special handling beyond normal wear considerations. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the technical description and provenance provided, and these specifications should assist both designers and clients in selecting an appropriate setting that leverages the stones matching brilliance for a well balanced and visually unified pair of earrings.
