4.44 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Yellow Citrine Pair from Brazil

This matched pair of pear shaped yellow citrines from Brazil presents as a balanced set for precision jewelry work, weighing 2.13 carats and 2.31 carats respectively, with finished dimensions of 11.47 x 8.18 x 4.40 millimeters and 12.00 x 7.91 x 4.92 millimeters. Both stones are cut in a mixed brilliant style, combining a brilliant-faceted crown with a modified pavilion geometry that optimizes internal reflection and face-up brightness for elongated pear silhouettes. The mixed brilliant faceting produces strong scintillation and a controlled windowing effect, particularly along the length of the pears, while the excellent polish delivers crisp facet junctions and minimal surface distortion. Clarity is graded as eye clean at standard viewing distance, allowing uninterrupted light performance and clean pavilion reflections. Color is medium intensity yellow, well saturated for citrine, yielding even tone and chroma across each stone. The specimens are transparent and heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that intensifies the yellow hue while preserving crystal integrity, a disclosure we fully provide at The Natural Gemstone Company.

For a custom piece, these pears work exceptionally well as a balanced pair in drop earrings or as flanking stones in a three-stone pendant, with technical considerations guiding the complementary gem selection and setting design. For high contrast and maximum color pop, set in 18 carat white gold or platinum with a fine halo of F to G color, VS clarity melee diamonds, using 0.01 to 0.03 carat rounds to create a scintillating frame that emphasizes the citrines face-up color without imparting warmth back into the pavilion. For a complementary color scheme, small round tsavorite garnets or chrome tourmalines in 2.5 to 3.5 millimeter sizes provide a color-opposite green accent that enhances perceived yellow saturation, ideal as shoulder stones or a delicate pave trail above the pear points. Mechanical details include securing the pear tips with V-prongs to protect the narrow point, three or four head prongs around the girdle for stability, and a shallow basket height to allow back illumination without exposing the culet to wear. For a warmer, tonal aesthetic, 18 carat yellow gold and cognac diamond melee will harmonize with the medium yellow, producing a rich, traditional look. All design guidance adheres to standard lapidary and bench practices, and our specialists at The Natural Gemstone Company can assist in translating these technical parameters into CAD renderings or hand-fabricated prototypes.
