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

This matched pair of oval yellow citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a balanced combination of weight and size, with individual masses of 3.12 carats and 3.18 carats respectively, dimensions of 11.14 x 8.82 x 5.88 millimeters and 10.97 x 8.88 x 5.84 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut, eye clean clarity as evaluated at eye level, medium color intensity, and an excellent polish. The material originates from Brazil, and the stones have been heat treated to deliver their stable golden yellow hue. From a gemological perspective these stones are well matched for use as a pair in a single design such as stud earrings, pendant and ring sets, or other matched two stone compositions, because the length to width ratios of approximately 1.26 and 1.24 provide classic oval proportions that sit comfortably on the finger or earlobe while maintaining a lively face up appearance. The excellent polish and careful facet alignment contribute to crisp reflections and even color distribution across the table, and the medium color intensity makes them versatile for a range of metal settings and design languages.

The mixed brilliant cut employed on these citrines is executed to emphasize both brilliance and color saturation, with a brilliant facet schema on the crown to maximize light return and scintillation, and a modified pavilion configuration that preserves weight and produces controlled color depth. This approach allows the oval outline to retain lively flash without excessive windowing or washed out areas, which is particularly important in yellow gemstones where balance between brilliance and body color determines perceived quality. The cutters have prioritized symmetry and pavilion depth to achieve a balanced windowing profile, while the facet junctions and girdle finishing show a high level of lapidary control, reflected in the excellent polish grade. The combination of crown and pavilion geometry also improves face up spread relative to depth, so these stones deliver more visual presence than their carat weights alone might suggest, a technical advantage for designers seeking visual impact in elegant proportions.

Clarity and color characteristics of these citrines align with practical performance expectations for daily wear pieces, the eye clean grade indicates the absence of inclusions visible to the unaided eye, which enhances durability because internal fractures or large cavities that can compromise toughness are not present. The medium yellow color intensity is ideal for wearable pieces, it is saturated enough to read distinctly yellow under typical retail lighting, while remaining flexible for pairing with both warm and cool metal tones. Heat treatment is the industry standard for citrine, commonly applied to amethyst or smoky quartz to produce consistent yellow tones, and when properly performed it results in a stable treatment that does not affect surface durability. The Brazilian origin is consistent with material that displays uniform coloration and clean crystallography, attributes that support both aesthetic quality and structural soundness for use in settings where the stones receive routine exposure.

When considering long term wearability and care these citrines are well suited to daily jewelry applications with appropriate design and maintenance considerations, citrine is a variety of quartz with a Mohs hardness of seven which provides good resistance to everyday abrasion, it is harder than common metals used in jewelry fabrication which reduces the likelihood of surface wear from incidental contact, and unlike gemstones with perfect cleavage citrine lacks planes of weakness that would predispose it to splitting under impact. Thermal stability is generally excellent for citrine, and light exposure will not typically fade the heat treated yellow tone, however prudent design choices such as protective bezel settings for rings and lower profile prong work for pendants and earrings will minimize exposure to knocks and reduce the risk of facet edge chipping. Routine care involves avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals and strong acids, and while ultrasonic cleaning is often acceptable for clean, stable quartz material, ultrasonic or steam cleaning should be undertaken with discretion when mounted in delicate settings or when adjacent materials in the piece might be vulnerable. For clients seeking everyday pieces that combine resilience and refined optics these matched oval citrines offer a practical balance of hardness, toughness, and stable coloration, and they perform well across a variety of mounting styles and metals.

As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company I emphasize that these two citrines have been chosen for their technical quality and practical suitability for frequent wear, the precise dimensions and cutting strategy were selected to optimize face up appearance and long term performance, and the eye clean clarity and excellent polish ensure consistent visual appeal with minimal maintenance. For setting recommendations consider secure four to six prong layouts for earrings and pendants where visibility is paramount, and a full bezel or semi bezel for rings that will be subjected to repetitive contact, these options will preserve the stones integrity while showcasing the mixed brilliant faceting. If you require additional measurements, facet diagrams, or mounting advice to integrate these stones into a custom design, The Natural Gemstone Company can provide laboratory style documentation and bespoke setting consultation to ensure that the final jewelry piece capitalizes on the technical strengths of these Brazil sourced citrines, delivering enduring wearability and consistent visual performance.
