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

From the sun warmed hills of Brazil, where quartz veins thread through granite and the light itself seems to linger on golden pockets of mineral, this pair of citrines began their journey. Miners carefully extract the rough crystals with hands that know the rhythms of the earth, and the rough is then sorted for clarity and color. At The Natural Gemstone Company we follow that journey closely, selecting only stones that carry a transparent, honest glow and a story worth telling. These two citrines were chosen for their even tone and crystalline transparency, and were gently enhanced by heat treatment to deepen and stabilize their sunny yellow, a common and accepted practice that reveals the warm personality already sleeping in the crystal. The cutting process that followed was undertaken with an eye for harmony, shaping each oval into a mixed brilliant cut that plays with light, creating flashes of brilliance and a soft golden depth that feels like captured daylight.

The finished pair weighs 3.30 carats and 3.02 carats respectively, with dimensions of 11.10 by 8.96 by 5.98 millimeters for the larger stone, and 11.11 by 8.97 by 5.27 millimeters for the slightly smaller companion. Both are oval shaped yellow citrines with a mixed brilliant cut that balances table sparkle and pavilion depth. Their clarity is assessed as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means they read as clean to the observer while retaining the natural character that distinguishes real gemstones. The color intensity is medium, a warm honeyed yellow that feels generous without being overwhelmingly saturated, and the polish is excellent, allowing light to glide across each facet and return as lively, radiant fire. Together the pair sits in perfect conversation, closely matched in tone and cut so that whether set as a matched pair of earrings or as a two stone ring the stones present a unified, balanced face. The crafting in bezel or prong settings will highlight their oval silhouettes, and the mixed brilliant cut ensures that finger movements and evening lights will wake the gems into life.

When you consider this matched pair against other gemstone sets, their harmony of color and proportion becomes especially evident. Compared to yellow sapphires, these citrines offer a softer sunny warmth, a more approachable golden tone that is less saturated and therefore wonderfully wearable every day. Against golden topaz the citrine holds a more honeyed, lively character, while topaz may read slightly more brown or amber depending on its source. Paired with cooler stones like aquamarine or blue topaz, these citrines create a timeless complementary contrast, the warm yellow lifting blues into a brighter, more luminous range. Alongside amethyst the pairing recalls the classic Brazilian marriage of opposites, yellow and purple balancing one another with a vibrant, almost floral energy. For a monochromatic warm palette, combining these citrines with peridot or green tourmaline yields a sunlit meadow effect, where yellow and green mingle in a natural, organic way that feels youthful and elegant. Because the two stones are so closely matched in size and cut, they outperform many mixed sets where scale or tone is uneven, presenting instead a mirror like symmetry that reads as deliberate and luxurious.

Owning this pair means carrying a small piece of Brazilian sunlight that has been thoughtfully prepared and matched by the curators at The Natural Gemstone Company, ready to be set into a design that honors both their origin and their final form. Their medium intensity and excellent polish make them versatile, ideal for daytime elegance and evening warmth, and the eye level clarity gives them a clean, modern appeal while maintaining natural authenticity. Whether you choose to set them as a duo in a bypass ring, as perfectly paired stud earrings, or as matching accents in a bespoke necklace, their balanced presence and harmonious color relationships with other gemstones make them a rare find for designers and collectors who value both story and symmetry.
