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

This matched pair of Brazilian citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company presents as oval yellow stones weighing 2.27 carats and 2.59 carats respectively, with precise dimensions of 10.71 x 8.77 x 4.26 mm and 10.69 x 8.69 x 5.07 mm, each fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that combines a brilliant style crown with faceted pavilion geometry to optimize face up scintillation and color distribution, the mixed brilliant facet arrangement yields a refined balance between sparkling facet return and color saturation, clarity is graded eye clean evaluated at eye level which indicates no visible inclusions to unaided observation, color intensity is medium which produces a warm, honeyed yellow that is consistent between the two stones, polish is excellent providing crisp facet junctions and strong light return, enhancement is heat treated which is a stable, industry standard treatment that intensifies the yellow hue, origin is Brazil which is known for producing citrines with good color and clean material.

When compared to similar, non matching gemstones, this pair demonstrates superior matching in several technical parameters, dimensionally the length and width are almost identical with less than three hundredths of a millimeter difference in length and minimal difference in width, while the disparity in depth of about eight tenths of a millimeter can affect profile and pavilion volume it does not materially compromise face up appearance due to the consistent facet architecture, non matching stones often display greater variance in table size, crown angle, and pavilion depth which leads to uneven brilliance and visible mismatch in tone between settings, compared to single, non paired citrines or to other yellow gem species such as yellow sapphire or golden topaz, these citrines exhibit a different optical character, citrine has a lower refractive index than sapphire which gives a softer luster and more uniform color distribution, yellow sapphire will display higher brilliance and hardness but at a different price point and color saturation profile, heat treated citrines from Brazil remain a predictable choice for matched pairs due to consistent material and color response to treatment.

For practical use and setting considerations The Natural Gemstone Company recommends settings that accommodate the slight depth variation, bezel or custom prong settings can compensate for pavilion height differences while preserving alignment, the combination of mixed brilliant cutting, eye clean clarity, medium color intensity, and excellent polish make this pair particularly well suited for fine earrings or a matched pendant pair where symmetry in color and facet performance is critical, our gemologists have selected these stones for their complementary optical behavior and suitability for high quality matched jewelry projects.
