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

This matched pair of transparent citrines presents a compelling combination of balanced weight, precise cutting, and attractive color, ideal for an educated buyer seeking stones ready for fine jewelry. The two gems weigh 3.35 carats and 2.73 carats respectively, each fashioned in an emerald cut that emphasizes clarity and color, with dimensions of 9.84 x 8.16 x 5.73 mm and 9.67 x 8.04 x 4.90 mm. The hue is a true yellow with medium intense color intensity that is vivid enough to be noticed in both bright and softer light, yet restrained enough to retain the stonelike character and versatility that many collectors and designers prefer. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means minor inclusions are not readily apparent to the wearer and do not detract from the gemography or optical performance. The polish has been evaluated as excellent, yielding clean facet reflections and a bright, glasslike surface that enhances the step facets of the emerald cut. Enhancement by heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and amplify the desirable yellow tones, and the origin of these citrines is Brazil, a source renowned for producing consistent, commercially attractive material.

The craftsmanship behind selecting and cutting this pair deserves particular emphasis, because matching gemstones requires both aesthetic judgment and technical precision. Emerald cutting is a step cutting technique that creates broad, flat facets in a linear arrangement, producing a hall of mirrors effect that showcases internal clarity and color zoning if present. To create a matched set, our cutters began with rough material selected from the same Brazilian parcel where color and crystal habit were similar, and they oriented each stone to preserve the best color flow while minimizing visible inclusions. During cutting, the balance between table size, crown height, and pavilion depth was carefully controlled to achieve comparable face up appearance and light return, while also managing weight retention so that the pair remained closely proportioned at 3.35 and 2.73 carats. Achieving the excellent polish required iterative steps at progressively finer abrasives to remove tiny surface graining and to define crisp facet junctions, which is particularly important for emerald cut gems because the large facets emphasize polishing quality. The result is a pair that reads as a coordinated duo in terms of saturation, tone, and facet alignment, making them ideal for a matched ring, pendant pair, or complementary earrings.

For the discerning buyer, understanding grading and treatment is essential to assessing value and long term satisfaction. The clarity description of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level indicates that the stones display high transparency and that inclusions visible under magnification have minimal impact on durability and beauty, which supports a premium placement in jewelry settings that expose the pavilion and table. Heat treatment is a common and stable enhancement for citrine, it is widely accepted within the trade, and when performed correctly it produces permanent color improvement without compromising the gem stability. Brazilian origin is notable because Brazilian citrines typically present a favorable combination of clarity and attractive yellow saturation, which contributes to consistent market appeal. These stones are versatile in mounting, they will perform well in both closed back and open back settings depending on design intent, and their emerald cut profile lends itself to modern and classic designs that emphasize geometry and clean lines.
