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

From the warm, iron rich soils of Brazil to the quiet precision of the cutting studio, this pair of citrines carries a story that is both geological and human, and it is a pleasure to share it with you on behalf of The Natural Gemstone Company. Deep within Brazilian pegmatites, crystalline growths of quartz formed and absorbed traces of iron, giving birth to the sunny yellow tones that define citrine. Local miners, many of them practiced by generations of family work, carefully extract rough stones with respect for the terrain and an eye for clarity. The particular rough pieces that became this matched pair were selected for transparency and structural soundness, qualities that a cutter can translate into brilliance. After careful sorting, the rough was stabilized and enhanced through controlled heat treatment, a standard and stable practice for citrine that deepens and evens the yellow hue while preserving natural character. Each stone was then handed to an experienced lapidary who understood not only facets and angles, but also how to coax the best life out of each crystal, a process that transforms a fragment of Brazilian earth into a wearable spark of sunrise.

In the cutting room the story becomes very specific, and these two gems show the proof of that craft. They are round shape yellow citrines, a pair weighing 2.19 carats and 2.27 carats respectively. Their dimensions are 8.71 by 8.69 by 5.70 millimeters for the smaller stone, and 8.89 by 8.88 by 5.59 millimeters for the slightly larger partner, a very close match in face up size and profile. Both stones were fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, a cutting style that blends facets for maximum scintillation and a pleasing table view. Their clarity grade is eye clean evaluated at eye level, meaning that when viewed without magnification the stones show no visible inclusions that would distract from their brilliance. They present a medium color intensity, a balanced yellow that is neither pale nor overly saturated, and their polish has been assessed as excellent, giving each facet the mirror like finish that returns light with lively sparkle. The enhancement history is heat treated, a durable and transparent intervention that yields an even, long lasting tone. The provenance, from Brazil to finished pair, is a part of their character and a mark of quality.

Comparing their clarity and color is where the match really earns its merit, and why this duo stands out as a superior pairing for settings where symmetry and harmony matter. Both stones share an eye clean clarity grade, which means that across the face of each gem the eye sees pure, uninterrupted color and fire. This uniform clarity is crucial when two stones are worn side by side, because visible inclusions on only one gem would immediately unbalance the composition. Here, the consistent transparency ensures that both stones present the same table brilliance and internal glow. In terms of color, they are matched at medium intensity, which is an ideal zone for citrine because it captures warmth and golden richness without becoming too dark to read in small jewelry, or too light to disappear under bright light. Any subtle differences in tone are minimal, and the cutter achieved this balance with the mixed brilliant cut that optimizes light return so that color reads evenly across the crown. The near matched measurements and the comparable pavilion depths contribute to uniform scintillation when the pair is set together, so the two gems look like they were born to be worn as twins. The slight carat and millimeter variations are small enough to be complementary, lending a natural authenticity while maintaining visual parity, a quality that many matched pairs lack.

Finally, imagine these Brazilian citrines set and worn, and you will see why this pair appeals to both the heart and the eye. The medium intensity yellow gives skin flattering warmth, pairing beautifully with yellow gold to amplify the golden notes, or with white metals to create a modern sunlit contrast. Because they are eye clean and excellently polished, they function brilliantly as a pair of studs, a matched double stone ring, or as symmetric accents in a pendant. The mixed brilliant cut offers lively sparkle in motion, and because heat treatment was applied early in their story the color is stable and predictable for years of wear. At The Natural Gemstone Company we value provenance, craftsmanship, and honest matching, and this pair exemplifies those commitments. When you choose these citrines you are choosing stones that began in Brazilian earth, were attended by skilled hands, and were brought to a precise finish so that two small suns can sit together on a finger or ear as companions, balanced in clarity, harmonized in color, and ready to become part of your own story.
