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

There is a quiet nobility to yellow citrine that has appealed to wearers for centuries, and this matched pair from The Natural Gemstone Company embodies that timeless allure. Sourced from the rich mines of Brazil, this duo presents as round shape yellow citrines weighing 2.41 carats and 2.53 carats respectively, with precise dimensions of 9.05 by 9.12 by 5.25 millimeters and 8.98 by 8.99 by 5.65 millimeters. Each stone has been shaped in a mixed brilliant cut to marry the stepped pavilion of classical cutting with the scintillating crown facets of the brilliant style, producing a harmony of fire and depth that sits comfortably between antique charm and modern brilliance. The gems show medium color intensity, a warm and even yellow that catches light with a sunlit clarity, and they have been given an excellent polish so facet junctions sing under most lighting. For full transparency the stones are heat treated, a historic enhancement practiced to refine hue and clarity, and they evaluate at very very slightly included when examined at eye level, indicating that the stones retain exceptional visual purity without masking the natural character that collectors and connoisseurs honor.

To understand how these citrines sit within the broader lexicon of yellow gemstones, it helps to compare their aesthetic qualities and their inherent personality. Compared with yellow sapphire, citrine offers a more mellow and approachable glow. Yellow sapphires are admired for their intense saturation, strong refractive index, and long historical prestige in royal and ceremonial jewelry, but they are also rarer and command a different price point. Citrine by contrast carries the warmth of sunlight in a softer register, inviting daily wear and ease of styling, while still presenting a lively sparkle thanks to the mixed brilliant cut. When set against imperial or golden topaz, this pair of citrines reveals a subtler palette. Topaz tends to register with a higher luster and a sometimes more saturated, slightly more orange leaning tone, whereas these Brazilian citrines stay true to a clear golden yellow, a color purity that reads elegant rather than theatrical. Compared with helidor or golden beryl, citrine’s yellow is typically warmer and less green-tinged, giving these stones a classic sunny aspect that pairs beautifully with vintage yellow gold as well as contemporary white metals.

These matched stones are ideal for a range of timeless designs, from heirloom stud earrings to twin-set pendant pieces and matched cufflinks, and they bring a narrative of heritage to any commission. Because they are closely matched in weight and size, they lend themselves naturally to symmetrical settings where balance matters, and the mixed brilliant cut will return light in a way that flatters the face and the hand. Where diamonds or fancy yellow diamonds present a rarified flash and exceptional hardness, these citrines present an accessible luxury, a warm legacy stone that nods to both classical gem lore and modern sensibility. In settings where one wants a jewel to be both a statement and a daily companion, this pair offers the ideal compromise of resilience, sparkle, and tone. At The Natural Gemstone Company we value provenance and craftsmanship, and these Brazilian citrines are presented as a matched pair that celebrates their geological origin and the centuries-old traditions of cutting and polishing that turn raw mineral into wearable art. For collectors seeking a gemstone that speaks of summer light, lineage, and enduring elegance, this pair of citrines presents a compelling and historically resonant choice.
