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

This exceptional matched pair of citrines presents a rare opportunity for collectors and designers who demand near perfect harmony between stones, weights, and presence. Each gem sits at just over three carats, at 3.27 carats and 3.28 carats, and their oval silhouette measures 11.12 by 8.82 by 6.10 millimeters, and 11.05 by 8.96 by 6.11 millimeters respectively, dimensions that are practically identical to the eye and to precise measurement. Both stones are cut in a mixed brilliant style, a choice that marries the crisp table and scintillation of modern cutting with pavilion facets that maximize light return, producing lively sparkle and a pleasing play of tones across the surface. The clarity is evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, meaning these citrines read as transparent and clean to the unaided eye, a quality that elevates them well above the common commercially available material that often shows visible feathers or cloudiness. The color sits at a medium intense yellow, a hue that is strong enough to read as true citrine, without tipping into an overly dark or brownish cast, and the polish is excellent, yielding crisp facet junctions and lively reflections that make the stones appear larger and more vibrant than their carat weights alone would suggest. Sourced from Brazil and professionally heat treated, these citrines represent the best of what the market can offer in terms of stable, attractive color, provenance, and workmanship.

When compared to the more typical options available today, this pair stands out for several important reasons. It is common to see citrine pairs that are close in weight but noticeably different in tone, or that match in color but differ in proportions and faceting, resulting in one gem that dominates the other once set. By contrast, this pair is extraordinarily well matched across multiple parameters, which is rare because rough material suitable for cutting into two such closely aligned stones is limited, and skilled lapidary work is required to preserve both color and size while achieving symmetry. Many market pieces sacrifice clarity to achieve weight, or they trade off polish quality to keep costs low, resulting in stones that look dull in jewelry settings or that reveal internal features under casual viewing. These citrines instead offer eye clean clarity, excellent polish, and a medium intense color that balances brilliance and depth, offering superior visual impact per carat and therefore better value for designers who need a reliable matched pair. In short, buyers seeking an even, consistent, and ready to set matched pair will find these stones a rare and cost effective answer compared to the fragmented alternatives often encountered.

Beyond raw measurements and grades, the mixed brilliant cut and careful finishing of these gems provide practical advantages in finished jewelry that many other stones fail to deliver. The cut orientation and facet proportions were optimized to emphasize both scintillation and overall brightness, so that the gems perform well under a variety of lighting conditions, from soft indoor light to bright daylight. This quality matters when comparing to standard step cut or shallow oval cuts commonly offered in budget assortments, which can look lifeless or flat once set. The very very slightly included clarity rating evaluated at eye level ensures that prong, bezel, or halo settings will showcase pure, lively color without distracting inclusions, and the excellent polish enhances facet contrast and edge definition, which in turn increases perceived value and elegance. Heat treatment, a well accepted enhancement for citrine that originates from Brazilian material, stabilizes the pleasing yellow hue and is a standard practice among reputable dealers, making the color reliable over time. For designers and customers who prioritize long term wearability and investment quality, this pair offers both the aesthetic and the technical integrity that many other market pieces lack.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that finding a pair as consistent and beautiful as these citrines is uncommon, and we present them with full disclosure and confidence. For someone planning a classic matched ring and pendant set, a pair of earrings that mirror each other perfectly, or a bespoke commission where symmetry is essential, these stones save time and design compromise, because they arrive ready to set, matched in weight, dimension, color intensity, cut style, and polish. The Brazilian origin gives them a known and respected provenance, and the professional heat treatment is disclosed so buyers can make an informed choice, while still enjoying the enhanced, stable color that collectors and wearers favor. If you compare these gems to the average market pair, you will notice a higher standard in match quality, a cleaner visual presentation, and a greater likelihood of producing a finished piece that commands attention and retains value. Contact The Natural Gemstone Company to discuss recommended settings and mounting options that will best showcase their medium intense yellow, and to secure this uncommon matched pair while they remain available, because stones of this calibre and harmony are seldom found together, and once set they become timeless centerpieces in jewelry that will be enjoyed for generations.
