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

This matched pair of genuine Brazilian citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company is ideal for a refined custom earring project, each stone combining attractive weight with excellent optical qualities, the first at 3.02 carats and the second at 3.32 carats, both fashioned into classic oval shapes that measure 11.75 x 9.31 x 5.00 mm and 11.86 x 9.51 x 5.37 mm respectively. Both stones are cut to a mixed brilliant style, a design that balances the fire and scintillation of brilliant facets with the broader reflections of step cutting, producing crisp light return and a lively face up appearance. Color intensity is described as intense, delivering a saturated yellow that reads as rich and sunny in hand, and polish is graded excellent, meaning facet junctions and surface finish are of a standard that maximizes brilliance. These citrines have been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement in the trade that yields uniform warmth and consistent color, and their country of origin is Brazil, a notable locale for well colored and clean citrine material.

From a gemological perspective these stones present several attributes that an educated buyer will value, clarity being foremost among them, with a grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a description that indicates the gems are effectively eye clean and that any inclusions are minute and only evident under magnification. Eye clean stones of this clarity command stronger market interest because they allow color and cut to dominate the viewing experience without distraction from internal features, and the mixed brilliant cut further conceals minor inclusions by dispersing light. The dimensions and proportions are well balanced for their weights, the depth values support good light return while maintaining an elegant face up size for earring use, and the excellent polish ensures maximum brilliance and smooth mounting. Heat treatment in citrine is industry standard, typically achieved by controlled heating of amethyst or smoky quartz material to produce stable yellow tones, which is fully disclosed here for transparency and long term confidence in wear and care.

For a custom pair of earrings these stones are particularly well suited because their sizes and hues are closely matched, which is critical in achieving a symmetrical and harmonious finished piece, whether the design chosen is classic stud, halo, bezel set drops, or a more articulated dangle with accent stones. For settings, warm metals like 14 karat or 18 karat yellow gold will harmonize with the intense yellow color, enhancing the golden glow, while cool metals such as white gold or platinum will create a modern contrast that emphasizes brilliance. A halo of small diamonds or white sapphires will amplify sparkle and perceived size, while a clean bezel or four prong setting will provide security and an elegant profile for everyday wear. Citrine ranks around seven on the Mohs scale, offering good durability for earring applications, although I recommend routine care that avoids prolonged exposure to strong chemicals and high heat, and professional cleaning when needed to preserve the excellent polish. If you would like design ideas or a bespoke setting quote, The Natural Gemstone Company can assist with sketches, metal selection guidance, and secure mounting options, ensuring these delightful Brazilian citrines become a pair of custom earrings that combine lasting beauty with sound gemological provenance.
