10.68 Ct. Yellowish Orange Citrine from Brazil

There are gemstones that sparkle, and then there are gemstones that announce themselves with the quiet confidence of a rare find. This example from The Natural Gemstone Company belongs to the latter category, a single transparent citrine weighing 10.68 carat, cut into a sophisticated fancy shape that reads as both classic and distinctly modern. Its yellowish orange hue is not merely present, it is intense, rich, and alive, a color that radiates warmth without domination. Sourced from Brazil, this gem carries the provenance collectors and designers seek, intact with no enhancement, presenting its natural beauty exactly as the earth formed it. The cutting style is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, designed to balance scintillation with depth, and the polish is excellent, allowing clean, crisp reflections that enhance every facet. Clarity is assessed as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears pristine to the unaided eye while maintaining the kind of internal character that specialists admire. Pieces like this do not arrive often, and when they do, they are set aside for clients who demand a level of exclusivity and authenticity that mass market stones simply cannot provide.

Beyond its intrinsic beauty, the physical dimensions of this citrine make it exceptionally well suited to bespoke jewelry projects that aim to create a statement. Measuring 17.41 by 15.78 by 10.35 millimeters, and with a weight of 10.68 carat, it occupies a striking presence on the hand, or as the focal point of a pendant. The fancy shape offers a geometry that is at once versatile for creative mounting, and uniquely distinctive as a central element in a one of a kind design. Because it is faceted with mixed brilliant proportions, the gem displays a lively play of light across the crown and pavilion, giving designers a palette of reflections to work with when considering prong arrangements, halo accents, or open gallery settings that allow light to travel through the stone. Its size invites imaginative approaches, from an elegant solitaire ring that celebrates the stone itself, to a dramatic collar or pendant where the citrine anchors a composition of complementary gemstones and metalwork. The depth of 10.35 millimeters ensures a robust pavilion for secure settings, while the breadth of 17.41 by 15.78 millimeters offers a commanding face up area that reads beautifully from a distance.

For the discerning client who commissions custom work, this citrine is an ideal canvas because its proportions and clarity allow for both bold design and fine detail. In yellowish orange tones like this, warm metals such as 18 carat yellow gold and 18 carat rose gold deepen the color and create a vintage elegance, while well considered white metal settings can be used to contrast the warm hue for a contemporary sculptural look. The mixed brilliant cut responds beautifully to both halo treatments and minimal prong mounts, so a designer can choose to enhance fire and sparkle, or to allow the gem to remain the singular focus. Bespoke settings that incorporate hand engraved galleries, hidden diamonds under the crown, or custom milgrain can add layers of exclusivity, ensuring that the finished piece is as singular as the stone. The natural origin from Brazil, combined with the fact that the gem has received no enhancement, underscores its suitability for heirloom quality pieces, gems intended not only to be worn, but to be treasured and passed down. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we work with master jewelers and independent designers who understand how to position a gem of this size and character within a design that elevates both the stone and the wearer.

Owning a stone like this is an invitation to join a small circle of collectors and clients who appreciate rarity, provenance, and workmanship.

The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to assist with detailed measurements, lighting images, and design consultation, guiding you through metal choices, setting styles, and creative treatments that honor the gem without compromising its natural integrity.
