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

This matched pair from The Natural Gemstone Company presents two well calibrated, transparent yellow citrines, weighing 2.29 carats and 2.32 carats respectively, each fashioned in a round shape with mixed brilliant faceting. The stones measure 8.90 by 8.85 by 5.41 millimeters, and 8.84 by 8.80 by 5.50 millimeters, dimensions that reflect tight tolerance in diameter and depth for a natural, hand finished pair. The color is a medium intense yellow, consistently saturated across both stones, exhibiting warm honey to topaz tones under standard daylight and neutral laboratory lighting. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating inclusions are minimal and do not compromise the transparency or overall scintillation. Enhancement is limited to routine heat treatment, a stable and permanent process commonly applied to Brazilian citrines to refine yellow hue and remove smoky tones. The origin, Brazil, is notable for producing clean, well colored citrines with crystalline transparency, and this pair exemplifies those regional characteristics.

Technically the gems are cut to a mixed brilliant scheme, combining a brilliant facet arrangement in the crown with a modified pavilion that optimizes light return while preserving weight and durability. Facet junctions are crisp, table symmetry is controlled, and the transition from crown to girdle maintains proportional balance, yielding a lively combination of brilliance and subtle dispersion. Measured pavilion depths translate to approximately 61 percent and 62 percent of the respective diameters, figures that sit within an effective range for mixed cuts, promoting strong internal reflection without excessive light leakage. The excellent polish is evident in mirror smooth facets and minimal polish lines, which enhances contrast between bright and dark facet faces and sharpens facet reflections. Girdle presentation is even and professionally finished, suitable for secure bezel or prong work, and the slight variance in crown height contributes to a natural, artisanal character while remaining visually matched when set side by side.

From a connoisseur perspective these citrines offer a compelling combination of technical merit and rarity as a matched pair, ideal for clients seeking exclusivity in a pair of stones that will read uniformly in paired jewelry. The very close match in carat weight within 0.03 carats, the near identical diameters within 0.06 millimeters, and the harmonious color tone provide a level of parity that is difficult to source in natural material without extensive selection. The minimal, eye level inclusions ensure durability for everyday wear and allow secure settings to be executed without concern for fracture points, while the heat treatment applied is stable and industry accepted. These stones respond particularly well to white metal mountings for a modern, bright presentation, and they also complement warm gold settings that enhance the medium intense yellow and enrich the visual warmth. For designers and informed buyers who prioritize technical cutting precision, consistent color grading, and provenance, this Brazilian citrine pair represents a refined choice, offered and supported by The Natural Gemstone Company with full transparency regarding treatment and source, and with suitability for high quality earrings, matched studs, or bespoke paired designs where both symmetry and individuality are essential.
