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

This matched pair of yellow citrines from Brazil presents a technically refined offering for collectors and fine jewelry designers, each stone cut to maximize symmetry and light performance. The gems weigh 2.57 carats and 2.81 carats respectively, and measure 11.11 by 8.87 by 4.66 millimeters, and 11.16 by 8.74 by 5.23 millimeters. Both are fashioned in an oval outline using a mixed brilliant cut. The mixed brilliant configuration pairs a faceted brilliant crown with a modified pavilion, a combination that preserves weight while producing strong return of light and defined scintillation. The crown facet array is executed to promote even light dispersion across the oval surface, the table proportion is balanced to maintain face up size without sacrificing pavilion depth, and the pavilion angles are calibrated to enhance internal reflection for lively brilliance. The cut shows consistent facet junctions and symmetry, contributing to an excellent polish grade that delivers crisp facet reflections and minimal surface diffusion. The girdles are proportioned to allow secure setting options without excessive removal of material, and the slight depth variance between the pair is within acceptable tolerances for matched sets, allowing for near identical face up presentation in paired jewelry applications.

Optical and material characteristics further underscore the appeal of these stones to technically minded buyers. Both citrines display medium color intensity, an even yellow hue with good saturation that avoids brownish overtones, and that responds well to controlled lighting to exhibit warm golden tones. Clarity is graded as eye clean at typical viewing distances, indicating no inclusions or fractures visible to the unaided eye, which ensures unobstructed light paths and stable performance under faceted reflection. The heat treatment enhancement is a standard, stable trade process for citrine material sourced from Brazil, and it serves to homogenize color and intensify desirable yellow tones without compromising durability. There is minimal pleochroism typical for citrine, so orientation in a mounting will not produce color shifts, yet the well executed mixed brilliant cutting ensures balanced color distribution across both stones. The provenance from Brazil contributes both to desirability and predictability of material behavior, as Brazilian citrines are known for clean crystal structure and consistent response to faceting, making these pieces reliable for high quality production runs or singular bespoke commissions.

Owning this matched pair confers practical and aesthetic advantages that appeal to discerning gemstone investors and designers. As a matched set, they offer immediate utility for a pair of studs, a coordinated ring and pendant combination, or a symmetry dependent design such as a two stone bypass ring, without the need for time consuming matching work. The near identical dimensions and matched face up color simplify the metal selection process, with yellow gold enhancing the warmth and glow, and white metals like white gold or platinum providing a crisp contrast that emphasizes cut and brilliance. The excellent polish and eye clean clarity reduce the need for protective settings, allowing for open prong designs that maximize light intake, or for low bezel profiles when a lower setting height is desired. For collectors these pieces represent a rare opportunity to acquire calibrated matching natural material with consistent cutting parameters, a pair carefully selected and evaluated for uniform visual performance. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the documented specifications and the quality control applied to this pair, and we can provide additional cutting diagrams, faceting proportions, and setting recommendations to assist in realizing the full optical potential of these citrines in finished jewelry.
