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

This matched pair of yellow citrines presents a refined balance of size, color, and clarity that will appeal to collectors and designers who appreciate well considered gemstones. The two stones weigh 2.68 carats and 2.51 carats respectively, and each is crafted in an oval shape that measures 10.84 x 8.89 x 5.10 mm for the larger stone, and 10.76 x 8.73 x 4.80 mm for the smaller stone. Both stones are precision cut in a mixed brilliant style, a cut that combines step and brilliant facets to maximize light return while preserving color. The medium light color intensity is a classic citrine hue, warm and sunny without tipping into the deep brownish tones that can obscure brilliance. These attributes make the pair particularly well suited for fine matched jewelry, where symmetry of appearance across stones is as important as individual gem quality.

From a gemological perspective this pair offers a clear and defensible set of grades and attributes that modern buyers evaluate closely. Clarity is recorded as eye clean, evaluated at eye level, which for citrine means that no inclusions interfere with face up beauty or brilliance under normal viewing conditions. The excellent polish ensures that facet junctions are sharp and that surface luster contributes to overall brightness. The mixed brilliant cut is selected to optimize the balance between fire and color, and the dimensions show closely matched proportions that support consistent light performance between stones. These citrines are heat treated, a commonplace and stable enhancement for this species, used to refine and stabilize color, and the treatment is disclosed as part of responsible grading. The origin, Brazil, is notable because Brazilian citrines are known for their consistent crystal quality and attractive yellow to golden tones, characteristics that informed buyers recognize and value.

The careful craftsmanship behind matching these two gemstones is a key part of their appeal, and it is where the expertise of cutter and grader come together. Matching a pair requires more than selecting two stones of similar carat weight, it requires attention to hue, tone, saturation, cutting angle, and pavilion and crown proportions so that the stones reflect light in a complementary way. In this pair the cutter has matched facet alignments, table sizes, and pavilion depths to produce nearly identical optical behavior, which ensures that side by side the stones read as a harmonious set. The process begins at rough selection, where material from the same pocket or crystal is preferred to reduce variability, and continues through calibrated sawing and faceting, with iterative light testing on the bench to confirm that the two stones will exhibit equivalent brilliance and color face up. For a jeweler, this pre matched pair reduces the time required to design a balanced setting, and for a collector it offers the assurance that the aesthetic intention of a matched pair has been achieved with technical precision.

For the educated buyer these citrines represent a combination of natural origin, disclosed treatment, measurable quality, and artisanal matching that supports both aesthetic and resale considerations. Their combined carat weight and uniform dimensions make them ideal for a pair of stud earrings, a twin stone ring, or as complementary stones flanking a center gem, and the eye clean clarity and excellent polish mean minimal trade off between visual purity and value. Maintenance is straightforward, warm soapy water and a soft brush will keep the surfaces bright, and routine inspection of settings will ensure safety during wear. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this pair with full disclosure of grading and treatment, and with the expectation that buyers will appreciate both the scientific attributes and the human skill that produced this matched set. If you seek citrines that marry reliable gemological properties with thoughtful craftsmanship, this pair embodies that intersection, and we are available to provide additional images, matching documentation, or setting recommendations to help integrate them into your next project.
