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

This matched pair of natural citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company presents as a refined combination of transparency and calibrated proportion, suitable for both fine jewelry and precise gemstone settings. The individual weights are 2.54 carats and 2.51 carats respectively, confirming close parity in mass for balanced pairings. Each stone is round in outline, rendered in a yellow hue with medium color intensity, and originates from Brazil, a well documented locality for quality citrine material. These gems have been heat treated to enhance their color uniformity, a standard and stable enhancement for citrine, and they exhibit an excellent polish that completes the overall surface finish. The dimensions are 9.02 x 9.09 x 6.14 mm for the heavier stone, and 8.92 x 8.92 x 5.96 mm for the slightly lighter companion, measurements that reflect consistent cutting and faceting control for a matched pair.

The cutting style is mixed brilliant, an approach that combines a brilliant cut crown with a pavilion that optimizes light return, enabling a desirable balance of brilliance and scintillation. The facets are arranged to emphasize symmetry across each stone, and the resulting reflective qualities are particularly effective for showcasing symmetry in matched settings. Under direct light the tables and pavilion facets create crisp reflections, while the crown facets disperse light into small flashes of brightness. The mixed brilliant configuration enhances centralized light return, which supports a stable face up appearance, and it produces a pleasing pattern of star and kite facets when viewed from the top. The excellent polish contributes to uninterrupted light transmission, reducing surface diffusion and allowing internal facet geometry to dictate the visible light behavior.

Clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that the stones are effectively eye clean and present minimal internal features that could interrupt light paths. This clarity grade maintains high transparency, allowing facet junctions and pavilion angles to perform without significant obstruction, and the small inclusions that do exist do not detract from the overall brightness or from the paired symmetry. Color matching between the two stones is consistent, with medium intensity yellow that reads evenly across different viewing conditions, a quality that supports cohesive visual pairing in earrings or matched mounts. The slight dimensional and weight differences are within accepted tolerances for paired gemstones, and they contribute to a natural balance between the pieces while remaining visually uniform when set side by side.

For jewelry applications these citrines perform well as stud earring stones, companion accent gems, or as focal points in coordinated pieces where optical symmetry is paramount. The combination of round outline, mixed brilliant cut, eye clean clarity, and excellent polish produces a reflective quality that highlights symmetrical faceting, which is ideal for settings that allow unobstructed light entry and escape. Recommended mounting practices include settings that expose the pavilion to light, such as open back bezels or prong settings, to maximize brilliance and scintillation, while standard care practices apply, including avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners if mounting includes delicate settings. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the described characteristics, and the pair is presented with documented origin and enhancement disclosure, offering a clear account of provenance and treatment that supports informed selection for designers and collectors.
