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

This matched pair of yellow citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a refined balance of color, clarity, and cut, ideal for an educated buyer seeking elegance and value. The stones weigh 3.27 carats and 2.90 carats respectively, and are emerald cut with dimensions 9.80 x 8.01 x 5.57 mm, and 9.74 x 7.74 x 5.16 mm. Each stone has been evaluated at eye level and graded as very very slightly included, indicating inclusions are minimal and do not distract from the stones overall appearance. The color intensity is medium intense, delivering a warm, saturated yellow that reads lively without appearing overtly artificial, and the polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and mirror like surfaces. These citrines are heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement for quartz that deepens and evens tone, and their origin is Brazil, a provenance known for producing high quality yellow and golden quartz specimens.

When comparing brilliance and reflection, citrine behaves differently from higher refractive index gems such as diamond and sapphire, and this characteristic can be an advantage depending on design intent. Citrine has a refractive index around 1.544 to 1.553, and dispersion is modest, so it will not exhibit the same fire or scintillation as diamond with RI 2.42, or as sapphire with RI near 1.76. However the emerald cut chosen here emphasizes broad, elegant flashes of light and color rather than small scintillating sparks, producing a classic, architectural look that highlights color consistency and clarity. Against gems like topaz or yellow sapphire, these citrines offer a warmer golden tone and a more affordable weight to cost ratio, while maintaining good durability for everyday wear at hardness seven on the Mohs scale. For buyers who prioritize color, matched proportions, and clean visual presentation over extreme brilliance, this pair offers exceptional value, easily suited to fine earrings or a bespoke matched ring set, and represents the reliable quality and transparent sourcing standards you expect from The Natural Gemstone Company.
