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

Long before they were set into a ring or a pair of earrings, these two oval shape yellow citrines began their journey deep in the sunlit granite veins of Brazil, where silica rich fluids and time worked together to create warm golden crystals. Miners who know those hills well tell of pockets that open like small rooms, revealing stones that have sat for millennia absorbing the light of the earth and sky. It is from that quiet beginning that this matching pair of citrines was sourced, each stone carrying the particular story of its seam and season. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that origin, selecting stones that not only display beauty, but also tell the story of place. These citrines, weighing 2.95 carats and 2.68 carats, feel like captured sunlight, a tangible memory of Brazilian earth and heat that has been polished into clarity and color, a narrative that begins in the mine and continues in the hands of craftsmen and the lives of those who wear them.

The journey continues at the cutting table where skillful hands and careful design reveal the inner life of each gem. These stones were fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, allowing facets to play with light in both broad flashes and sparkling pinpoints, and they measure 11.08 by 9.00 by 5.50 mm and 11.04 by 9.10 by 4.70 mm respectively, dimensions chosen to preserve weight while maximizing brilliance. Each gem is eye clean, evaluated at eye level, meaning that to the naked eye they present a perfectly clear field that speaks of excellent material and careful cutting. The color shows a medium intensity of yellow, a tone that is sunny and versatile but not overpowering, and the polish has been graded excellent, so every facet edge mirrors light with a crisp, lively finish. A gentle, permanent enhancement through heat treatment was applied to stabilize and enhance the cheerful golden hue, a common practice in citrine that honors the stone without altering its natural character. The result is a matched pair that reads as a single aesthetic voice, two stones that respond to each other in tone, weight, and light, ready for a setting that will make them sing together.

When two stones are this well matched they form more than jewelry, they become a set that can travel through generations as heirlooms infused with story and meaning. Imagine these citrines set as a pair of drop earrings given on a first anniversary, later transformed into a pendant and a ring as tastes and fashions evolve, then carried forward as a legacy gift to a daughter or granddaughter. Their matching weights, 2.95 carats and 2.68 carats, and their consistent medium color intensity make them ideal for paired settings that mirror one another, a symbolic doubling that speaks to partnership, continuity, and shared light. At The Natural Gemstone Company we encourage clients to consider commissioning complementary designs that allow the stones to be reimagined over time, perhaps beginning as a single dramatic cocktail ring and later being redesigned into a set of coordinating pieces, ensuring that the gems remain relevant and cherished through changing styles and stories. Because they are eye clean and have an excellent polish, these citrines will continue to dazzle with minimal maintenance, while heat treatment ensures color stability for daily wear and for the long arc of an heirloom life.

Passing these citrines from one generation to the next is not merely an exchange of material, it is a way to pass on the memory of place and the craftsmanship that shaped them, the story of Brazilian mines, of cutters who coaxed their brilliance, and of a family that chose to treasure them. Care is simple, a soft brush, mild soap, and occasional professional inspection to ensure settings remain secure, and with sensible care these stones will retain their beauty and story for decades. Whether worn as matching earrings, as a paired ring and pendant, or set into a bespoke family collection, this pair invites a narrative of continuity, celebration, and thoughtful stewardship. At The Natural Gemstone Company we are honored to present these two oval yellow citrines, each a small, bright archive of earth and human touch, ready to begin their next chapter as exquisite, wearable pieces of family history.
