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

From the sun warmed alluvial beds of Brazil a story begins that is as much about patience as it is about light. Miners and local scouts follow veins and pockets of quartz that through time have absorbed warmth and mineral whispers to take on a clear golden hue. From that fertile ground comes this matched pair of transparent citrines, one weighing 2.24 carats and the other 2.08 carats, each carefully separated from its matrix and selected for clarity and tone. Both are round shape yellow citrines, the larger measuring 9.03 by 9.04 by 5.02 millimeters and the companion at 8.85 by 8.85 by 4.99 millimeters, proportions that balance presence with wearability. At eye level they read as very very slightly included, a clarity grade that allows the gems to shine without distraction, and their medium color intensity gives them a sunny, approachable warmth. These stones have undergone thoughtful heat treatment to refine their color, and they display a mixed brilliant cut that has been executed with exacting care to maximize sparkle. When you examine them you notice the excellent polish, a surface finish that is smooth to the touch and flawless to the casual gaze, a finishing quality that hints at the meticulous hands that guided them from rough to refined.

The journey from rough crystal to set gemstone is where craft meets intention, and here the cutter has chosen a mixed brilliant cutting style to harmonize scintillation with a broad window of color. Each facet plane was formed to capture and return light in a way that reads as lively and luxurious under both daylight and evening light. The mixed brilliant strategy delivers a balance of pavilion facets that deepen light return and crown facets that offer crisp flashes, and the result is a pair that reads as a matched duet both in size and in character. The excellent polish is not merely cosmetic, it is functional, creating a smooth finish that sits like silk within a bezel or sparkles unobstructed in a prong setting. For designers focused on high end projects the tactile quality of the polish matters as much as the visual beauty, because a smooth surface allows for exacting metal work and ensures comfort against skin. These citrines have been matched for symmetry and color pairing by experienced gemologists, and the small differences between the stones are handled with the kind of attention that allows them to perform as a truly cohesive pair in earrings, cufflinks, or side stones in bespoke rings.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor provenance and process, and we present this Brazilian pair of citrines as ready partners for elevated design. They are ideal for classic stud earrings where the round outline and mixed brilliant faceting create a halo of brilliance around a warm yellow core, they are equally suited to elegant solitaire pendants where the smooth polish and clear transparency read as understated luxury, and they integrate beautifully into custom pieces that call for matched gems with reliable proportions. For metals, the medium color intensity of these stones pairs beautifully with both warm yellow gold where the color is amplified, and with cool white metals where the clean transparency and polish provide a striking contrast. The heat treatment is a standard enhancement that stabilizes and improves tone, and our team can provide full details about origins and treatment on request. If you seek gemstones that speak of their origin, that have been shaped by hand to a smooth finish suited to the most discerning settings, this pair is a refined choice.
