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

This matched pair of pear shaped yellow citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a refined combination of size, color, and craftsmanship, ideal for a discerning collector or a bespoke jeweler seeking a cohesive set. The stones weigh 2.16 carats and 2.06 carats respectively, and their dimensions are 10.41 x 7.03 x 5.71 millimeters and 10.32 x 7.11 x 5.19 millimeters. Both are cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance table brilliance with pavilion scintillation, and both exhibit an excellent polish that enhances surface lustre and light return. The color is described as medium light yellow, providing a warm, sunny presence without tipping into overly saturated tones, and the clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from performance or overall visual appeal. These citrines are heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement for citrine that stabilizes and intensifies the yellow hue, and their documented origin is Brazil, a source renowned for producing clean, well colored quartz gemstones.

From a gemmological perspective these citrines offer attributes that educated buyers will appreciate, starting with their material properties and cutting. Citrine is a variety of quartz, with a refractive index near 1.544 to 1.553 and a specific gravity around 2.65, coupled with a Mohs hardness of 7 which provides good wearability for rings, earrings, and pendants. The mixed brilliant cut employed here combines crown facets that maximize face up brilliance with pavilion faceting that creates lively flashes of light, creating a balance between brilliance and depth that is particularly important in pear shapes. The very very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level indicates that under normal viewing conditions the gems appear essentially clean, with only minor internal characteristics observable to a trained eye or under magnification, which supports stronger resale value and desirability. Heat treatment is an industry standard for citrine, often applied to bring out a consistent yellow color, and when fully disclosed it poses no impact on stability for normal wear. The Brazilian origin is significant for buyers who value provenance, because many of the best commercial citrines originate from Brazilian quartz deposits that yield attractive crystal material suitable for precision cutting.

Finding a near perfect matched pair of pear shaped citrines is uncommon in the market, and this rarity is a key element of the value proposition. Natural variation in color tone, weight, and facet alignment makes achieving close parity between two stones challenging, so a pair as closely matched in tone, cut style, and polish as these pieces commands attention from designers who require symmetry in earrings or paired ring designs. For practical jewellery considerations these stones are ideally suited for drop earrings, a pendent and ear stud set, or as complementing side stones in a bespoke ring, and we recommend settings that protect the pointed end of the pear shape while allowing the crown to capture light, such as a secure prong with a partial bezel or a three prong tulip style for pendants. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the quality and disclosure of these stones, and we can provide additional high resolution images, viewing videos, and certification support upon request, to assist with appraisal and design planning. Proper care includes routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding extreme heat exposure, and removing pieces during heavy manual work, to preserve the excellent polish and clarity that make this pair a distinguished choice for collectors and fine jewellery makers.
