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

These two beautiful, transparent citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company present a rare combination of size, clarity, and workmanship that will appeal to an educated buyer and a bespoke jeweller. The pair weighs 2.55 carats and 2.48 carats respectively, with individual dimensions of 9.01 x 9.00 x 5.82 mm and 8.98 x 8.98 x 5.75 mm, yielding a total weight of 5.03 carats. Their round shape and mixed brilliant cut deliver lively scintillation, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and superior light return. The color is a medium intensity yellow, warm and inviting without being overpowering, making these stones versatile for both classic and contemporary designs. Originating from Brazil, these citrines carry the provenance that discerning buyers value, and their enhancement by heat treatment is fully disclosed as a stable and accepted practice within the trade.

Clarity and cutting are central to the appeal of these stones, and at The Natural Gemstone Company we note that these citrines are graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level. This clarity description indicates that the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the eye clean appearance that most clients demand for gems of this quality. When viewed face up under normal viewing conditions, these stones present clean, uninterrupted fields of color and sparkle. The mixed brilliant cut is particularly effective here, combining a brilliant style crown with a pavilion designed to maximize light performance while preserving weight. The measured depths of approximately 5.8 mm contribute to a balanced profile, providing sufficient pavilion to develop fire and return light, while maintaining an elegant table size that complements the medium color intensity.

For bespoke creations, these citrines are exceptionally well suited. The near identical dimensions and complementary weights make them ideal as a matching pair for stud earrings, allowing for symmetrical presentation and consistent light performance. They are also excellent candidates for paired settings such as cufflinks, matched pendant and ring sets, or twin stones set in a single two stone ring. Their size is substantial enough to function as focal points, yet not so large as to limit design options, enabling custom designers to explore halo settings to increase apparent size, bezel settings for a modern minimal look, or classic four prong mounts to maximize brilliance. The warmth of the yellow tone pairs beautifully with yellow gold to produce a harmonious, vintage inspired result, while white metals such as white gold or platinum will provide striking contrast and contemporary elegance. Rose gold offers an alternative that enhances the honeyed aspects of the color for a romantic palette.

Beyond aesthetics, these citrines are practical for everyday wear, being members of the quartz family with a Mohs hardness of seven, which provides good resistance to abrasion under normal use. Heat treatment is a common and stable enhancement for citrine, used to refine and stabilize the desirable yellow hues, and it does not adversely affect durability when disclosed as The Natural Gemstone Company has done. The excellent polish and precise cutting mean minimal post setting finishing will be required, facilitating smoother production and reducing the risk of damage during fabrication. For clients who prioritize ethical sourcing and full disclosure, the Brazilian origin and transparent treatment information add to the stones value and suitability for high end custom pieces. These matched citrines represent a thoughtful investment for a bespoke collection, combining measured technical quality, attractive color and clarity, and the flexibility to be set in a wide range of premium designs.
