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

This matched pair of Brazilian citrines offered by The Natural Gemstone Company comprises stones of 3.07 carats and 2.73 carats respectively, each cut to an elegant oval outline with checkerboard crowns. The larger stone measures 11.05 x 9.04 x 6.22 mm, while the companion measures 11.07 x 9.10 x 5.29 mm. Both present a yellowish orange hue with medium intense color intensity, are transparent and evaluated as eye clean at standard viewing distance, and benefit from an excellent polish. The stones have been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement for citrine that enhances the warm golden saturation without compromising durability. Origin is Brazil, a well regarded source for gem quality citrine with consistent color and clarity characteristics.

In comparing the two gems, the match is superior because of the close agreement in face up dimensions and tonal saturation, and because both stones exhibit the same cutting style and finish. The length and width of the pair are effectively identical, which produces a harmonious face up appearance when set as earrings or as a matched pendant pair. The small difference in carat weight is explained by the disparity in pavilion depths, the larger stone having a slightly deeper profile at 6.22 mm and the smaller stone being shallower at 5.29 mm, which is typical in matched pairs where cutter preserves ideal optical proportions while maximizing weight retention. Clarity is consistent between the two, both eye clean, so there is no visible disruption to light return. The checkerboard cut amplifies scintillation and gives a lively pattern of reflections across the table, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and strong brilliance. The medium intense yellowish orange color is well centered in both stones, avoiding uneven zoning and providing a uniform warm tone that flatters many metal choices.

For an educated buyer, these attributes translate into clear value. The disclosed heat treatment is industry standard, transparent and stable, and the Brazilian origin signals reliable material provenance. The combination of matched dimensions, consistent eye clean clarity, medium intense uniform color, and an excellent checkerboard finish makes this pair especially suitable for fine jewelry where visual symmetry and optical performance matter. Whether set as a classic matched earring pair or used in a coordinated pendant and ring duo, these citrines offer coherent optical character and dependable beauty, representing the careful sourcing and quality standards you expect from The Natural Gemstone Company.
