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

This pair of natural Brazilian citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a compelling combination of size, color, and cut for discerning buyers. The two stones weigh 3.14 carats and 3.54 carats respectively, and their oval shapes measure 11.16 x 8.98 x 5.69 millimeters and 11.29 x 9.23 x 6.26 millimeters. Both stones are cut in a mixed brilliant style, a choice that blends step facets on the pavilion with brilliant facets on the crown to maximize both scintillation and overall light return in an oval outline. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means that any natural inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the visual clean appearance at normal viewing distances. Color is described as intense, indicating a strong, saturated yellow that reads vividly in daylight and artificial light. The stones exhibit excellent polish, a critical factor that enhances the crispness of facet junctions and contributes to bright brilliance. These citrines have been heat treated, a stable and commonly accepted enhancement that intensifies color in quartz, and their documented origin is Brazil, a source known for producing high quality yellow citrines that display good saturation and clarity.

For the educated buyer the combination of attributes in these stones underpins their value and suitability for fine jewelry projects. The weights above 3 carats for each stone place them in a desirable size class where proportions and presence are significant, and the mixed brilliant cut has been specifically employed to balance the oval silhouette with optical performance. Very slightly included clarity assessed at eye level suggests that the stones will present as visually clean to most viewers while retaining natural origin and structure, and the excellent polish ensures light interacts with the facets in a way that brings out the intense color without dulling. The heat treatment applied to citrines is a well understood and stable enhancement, typically involving controlled heating of amethyst or smoky quartz to produce the yellow to gold tones associated with citrine. Buyers who value traceable origins will appreciate that these stones are sourced from Brazil, a region with a long standing reputation for producing quarried quartz varieties with consistent color and cut grade. From a practical standpoint citrine, as a variety of quartz with a hardness around 7 on the Mohs scale, offers good wearability for rings and everyday jewelry when set with appropriate protection and care recommendations are followed to avoid harsh abrasion and sudden extreme temperature changes.

Customization options to match existing jewelry are extensive and can be precisely tailored by The Natural Gemstone Company to achieve harmonious integration. Given the slight difference in carat weight and dimensions between the pair, there are several effective approaches to create a visually matched set. For matched earrings or a complementary ring and pendant combination a halo of small melee diamonds or warm colored accent stones can be used to equalize perceived size, since a halo increases apparent diameter without altering the gemstone itself. Alternately, different mounting profiles can minimize visible size disparity, for example using a slightly wider bezel or a lower profile setting for the larger stone to balance appearance. Orientation changes such as setting one stone east west and the other north south can be employed in custom designs to create deliberate symmetry with existing pieces. Metal choice also plays a significant role in color harmony, and for these intense yellow citrines warm yellow gold or rose gold will deepen the honey tonalities while white metals such as platinum or white gold will emphasize contrast and sparkle when paired with diamond accents. Technical considerations include matching seat depth to the pavilion depths of approximately 5.69 millimeters and 6.26 millimeters to ensure secure bezels and prongs, specifying a four prong or six prong head for stability in rings or earrings, and selecting appropriate post thickness and backings for earrings intended for daily wear.

If you would like The Natural Gemstone Company to create a bespoke setting or to advise on color matching to an heirloom piece, we provide detailed consultations that review your existing item photographs, metal samples, and dimensional requirements. We can also discuss controlled recutting or re polishing if you prefer a closer dimensional match, understanding that minor weight loss is possible in such processes and that any recutting is performed only with your approval. Our in house craftspeople and partner setters are experienced in translating gemstone proportions into durable, elegant settings that respect both the optical performance of the citrines and the aesthetic language of your existing collection. Contact The Natural Gemstone Company for a tailored proposal and technical mock ups, so we can ensure these Brazilian citrines become a refined and well matched addition to your jewelry.
