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

This matched oval pair from The Natural Gemstone Company presents two transparent citrines weighing 2.84 carats and 2.89 carats respectively, with precise dimensions of 11.02 by 8.72 by 5.39 millimeters and 10.70 by 8.55 by 5.52 millimeters. Both stones are executed in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a faceted brilliant crown with a well proportioned pavilion to optimize light return and scintillation. Clarity is evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, indicating that inclusions do not materially affect face up appearance for standard viewing, and polish is graded excellent, yielding crisp facet junctions and minimal surface abrasions. Color is classified as medium intense yellow, a saturation level that balances warmth and sparkle, and the material has been heat treated to achieve stable color enhancement, a common and accepted practice for citrines originating from Brazil.

From a lapidary perspective the mixed brilliant execution on these ovals is engineered to maximize optical performance within the available rough. The crown displays a conventional brilliant facet layout, while the pavilion geometry employs modified facets to broaden flash and reduce leakage, producing a lively interplay of scintillation and overall brightness. Proportions are notably consistent, with depths of approximately fifty four point six percent for the larger stone and fifty seven point three percent for the slightly smaller stone when calculated against average diameter, values that sit comfortably within the preferred range for oval mixed brilliants and support balanced return of light across the table and girdle. Symmetry is tight, facet alignment is regular, and the girdles are even, which simplifies precision setting and contributes to matched visual weight when mounted in paired jewelry.

Clarity characteristics in these citrines are subtle and at the level described do not interfere with transparency or local light dispersion. The very very slightly included grade at eye level means that inclusions are minimal and generally only detectable under magnification or with careful inspection, preserving clean face up presentation. Color distribution is uniform, with medium intense yellow saturation that benefits from the heat treatment applied, producing a stable hue that resists rapid fading under normal wear. The Brazilian origin supports the observed crystal habit and color profile, and the material properties of quartz offer a Mohs hardness of seven and a refractive index around one point five four four to one point five five three, ensuring reliable durability for everyday jewelry when properly set.

Finding two gemstones that match this closely across carat weight, dimensions, color, clarity and cut is uncommon, and explains why matched pairs command attention from designers and discerning buyers. Natural variations in rough, zoning, and the results of heat treatment make it rare to produce pairs that align within a few hundredths of a carat and a few tenths of a millimeter while maintaining consistent optical behavior. These two citrines demonstrate careful selection and skilled cutting to achieve visual parity, delivering paired brilliance and consistent yellow tone for use in earrings, matched ring settings, or bespoke designs where symmetry is essential. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the technical quality of this pair, and can advise on mounting options that preserve the stones optical orientation and maximize their matched appearance.
