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

This pair of round yellow citrines presents a precise combination of weight, dimension, and cut that underpins their visual consistency and overall appeal. Each stone weighs 2.07 carats, with the first measuring 8.93 x 8.96 x 4.92 millimeters and the second measuring 8.86 x 8.86 x 4.69 millimeters. Both are fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut and display an excellent polish that enhances surface brightness. The clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating minimal internal characteristics that do not interfere with visual performance under typical viewing conditions. The color intensity is described as medium intense, producing a warm and even yellow tone native to Brazilian citrine. The stones have been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement for citrine, and their recorded origin is Brazil. These technical specifications provide a clear baseline for designers and well-informed buyers considering the pair for matched applications.

Flawless symmetry is fundamental to the optical performance of faceted gemstones, and these citrines exemplify how consistent geometry translates to measurable aesthetic benefits. Symmetry refers to the accurate alignment, proportion, and mirror correspondence of facets around the stone’s axis, including even table placement, consistent crown and pavilion angles, and balanced facet junctions. In the mixed brilliant cut of these gems, symmetry ensures that the disparate facet types work in concert to redirect incident light. When facets are symmetrically arranged, light entering the crown is more uniformly refracted and returned through the table and crown facets, producing consistent brilliance and scintillation across the stone’s face. For a matched pair, symmetry also creates a visual continuity that prevents one stone from appearing heavier, shallower, or differently saturated than its partner when set side by side.

The practical implications of this symmetry are evident in several aspects of appearance and setting. First, the even facet pattern contributes to uniform color distribution, so the medium intense yellow appears balanced rather than patchy or zoned, which enhances overall color appeal in both direct and diffuse lighting. Second, facet alignment aids in consistent light return, resulting in predictable fire and brilliance that is vital for round shapes and mixed brilliant designs. Third, well-aligned girdle and pavilion geometry facilitate secure and unobtrusive mounting, reducing the need to obscure irregularities with heavy bezel work and allowing more of the stone’s surface to be visible in open settings. Finally, when used as a pair, the near-identical weights and closely matched dimensions combine with precise symmetry to produce a coherent, mirrored presentation, which is especially important in earrings, matched accent stones, or companion-set rings where visual harmony is the primary objective.

From a material and care perspective, these citrines offer a balance of useful durability and attractive optical qualities. Citrine is a variety of quartz with established hardness and stability appropriate for most types of jewelry with reasonable care. The heat treatment applied to these stones is a stable enhancement commonly used to achieve or intensify the desirable yellow hue in specimens from Brazil, and it does not require special maintenance beyond standard precautions for faceted gemstones. The excellent polish further contributes to superficial resistance to wear by minimizing micro-abrasions that can dull facets over time. The Natural Gemstone Company sources and matches pairs with attention to cut symmetry, facet integrity, and polish quality to ensure predictable performance in finished pieces. For settings, consider open-prong or low-profile bezel designs that showcase facet symmetry and table size, or use them as matched accents where their consistent light return and color will support a cohesive design language across a completed piece.
