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

This matched pair of oval orangish yellow citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a compelling option for an educated buyer seeking a balanced combination of color, cut, clarity, and origin. Individually the stones weigh 3.19 carats and 3.08 carats, with dimensions of 10.68 x 8.64 x 6.38 mm and 10.97 x 8.79 x 6.05 mm respectively, and both are fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut. The mixed brilliant approach means the crown faceting is optimized to capture and return light with lively scintillation, while the pavilion faceting is shaped to preserve weight and depth, producing a bright face up appearance without sacrificing table size. Clarity is graded eye clean when evaluated at eye level, which for citrine is an important quality indicator because it allows the stones to present transparent, uninterrupted fields of color under normal viewing conditions, the polish is excellent which enhances light return and surface brightness, and the color intensity is medium which gives these citrines a versatile warmth that complements both gold and white metal settings. These citrines have been heat treated, a stable and commonly accepted enhancement in the trade, and their documented origin is Brazil, a source known for producing fine, clean quartz crystals with saturated, evenly distributed color.

From a gemological standpoint these pairings are appealing for several reasons that an informed purchaser will appreciate. The close match in carat weight and in millimeter measurements indicates thoughtful selection and cutting, which translates to a harmonious visual pairing when set as earrings. The medium color intensity described as orangish yellow offers a classical citrine look that reads as warm and sunny without becoming overly dark or brownish, preserving both sparkle and lively body color. Heat treatment in citrine is typically used to produce stable, consistent tones by altering iron states in the quartz lattice, and in these stones the treatment yields a uniform orange yellow that resists fading and performs well under jewelry mounting. The mixed brilliant cut contributes to efficient light performance and modest dispersion, so the stones exhibit attractive fire and brilliance even under indoor lighting, while maintaining good weight for their size. The eye clean clarity grade means that inclusions do not interfere with the optical properties, so when mounted the gems will appear bright and clean to the viewer, a key consideration for earrings where close face up presentation and matching are essential.

These citrines are particularly well suited to a custom pair of earrings because their proportions, cut style, and matched characteristics allow a jeweler to execute a variety of design concepts while ensuring comfort and wearability. For classic stud earrings a four prong or three prong setting in 18k yellow gold will amplify the warm orange yellow tone, while rose gold will provide a softer romantic glow and white gold or platinum will present a modern contrast that emphasizes brilliance and clarity. For more elaborate designs consider a halo of small white diamonds or colorless gemstones to increase apparent size and contrast, or a bezel setting to add vintage flair and extra security for active wear. The measurements make these gems appropriate for both studs and drop designs, with the thickness permitting secure prong engagement without risking overexposure of the girdle or pavilion. Their hardness as quartz provides reasonable durability for everyday wear, though like all gemstones they should be handled with care to avoid hard knocks and exposure to harsh chemicals. When commissioning a custom pair of earrings from The Natural Gemstone Company we recommend discussing preferred metal choices, earring back styles for comfort and security, and any tolerance for slight asymmetry since the carat difference is 0.11 which is minimal yet worth confirming for those seeking absolute parity.

In summary these two oval mixed brilliant citrines combine a market friendly carat range, precise millimeter proportions, eye clean clarity, medium orangish yellow color, excellent polish, and a reliable enhancement history, all originating from the well regarded Brazilian sources that supply many of the world markets with fine quartz. For a discerning buyer looking to create a custom pair of earrings these stones deliver both aesthetic appeal and practical considerations such as stable color, good light performance, and ease of setting. The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to assist in the design and technical specifications needed to translate these attractive gem qualities into a finished pair of earrings that showcases the warmth and sparkle of citrine while meeting requirements for comfort, security, and longevity.
