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

This matched pair of yellow citrines offers a concise combination of measurable specifications and refined cutting technique, ideal for clients and designers who prioritize exacting detail. The stones weigh 2.65 carats and 2.70 carats respectively, and present as round shape mixed brilliant cut gemstones. The recorded dimensions are 8.92 x 8.91 x 6.33 millimeters and 8.87 x 8.92 x 6.35 millimeters, with both stones demonstrating an excellent polish. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, and color intensity has been graded as medium intense, delivering a warm, saturated yellow without excessive brown overtones. Enhancement by heat treatment is noted, and origin is Brazil. These data points are provided to support exacting design decisions, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the consistency of these measurements and descriptive grades.

From a faceting and optical dynamics perspective, the mixed brilliant cut on each stone is engineered to balance face up spread with lively scintillation. The mixed brilliant style combines a round brilliant crown that maximizes light entry and dispersion, with a modified pavilion that preserves weight and enhances color saturation. The crowns are cut to produce a lively table and consistent facet junctions, yielding strong central brilliance and a fine pattern of star and kite facets under direct lighting. The slightly deeper pavilion proportions contribute to internal color concentration, which supports the medium intense grade, and the excellent polish across every facet junction increases specular reflection, reducing surface diffusion and preserving crisp highlights.

The dimensional details inform practical setting and design choices. Using the mean girdle diameters and pavilion heights yields depth proportions of approximately 71 percent for both stones, a depth that favors color retention and optical fire in yellow quartz species. Those depth percentages produce a pleasing three dimensional presence on finger and ear, while remaining compatible with classic prong and bezel mounting approaches. The very very slightly included clarity at eye level indicates that inclusions are minor and will not interfere with popular design motifs such as open backed settings, closed backed settings for enhanced color, or halo arrangements that magnify optical performance. The close correspondence of diameter measurements between the two stones ensures matched face up size, which is essential for symmetric applications including paired stud earrings, cufflinks, matched ring sets, or across a bespoke pair of nose studs.

For bespoke jewelers and discriminating clients, these citrines provide a technically versatile platform. The 8.9 millimeter diameter range sits squarely in a size class that reads substantial on the hand without overwhelming delicate proportions, and the 2.65 carat and 2.70 carat weights enable balance in asymmetric or matched pair designs where parity is required. The medium intense yellow responds strongly to warm metal choices such as 18 karat yellow gold that will deepen the perceived saturation, while cooler metals such as platinum or white gold will produce a brighter contrast and emphasize scintillation. The heat treatment used to achieve the current hue is stable under normal wear and common jewelry maintenance procedures, and the excellent polish will make these stones receptive to tight bezel work or custom knife edge prongs without sacrificing luster. When considered together these technical attributes make the pair an excellent selection for high end bespoke commissions, and The Natural Gemstone Company is available to advise on mounting options and to provide high resolution images and viewing under controlled lighting to assist in final design decisions.
