15.05 Ct. Citrine from Brazil

This radiant 15.05 carat princess shape yellow citrine from Brazil arrives as a rare combination of size, color and precision cutting, measured at 14.20 x 13.04 x 12.22 mm. The stone exhibits a vivid color intensity that reads as a pure, sunlit yellow, and it has been professionally heat treated to enhance that vividness. At eye level the clarity registers as very very slightly included, delivering an eye clean appearance that allows uninterrupted brilliance and fire. The princess cut used here is executed with excellent polish, creating crisp facet junctions and a modern, architectural look that maximizes scintillation and table brilliance. From The Natural Gemstone Company this citrine is presented as a fine gem ready to be set into a statement solitaire ring, a bold pendant, or a bespoke design that highlights its square proportions and substantial presence.

When compared to some of the most famous yellow gemstones in history the differences become instructive, not diminishing. The Tiffany Yellow Diamond is legendary for its rarity and status, but it is a unique historical diamond with a price and provenance that place it beyond the reach of most collectors. This citrine mirrors that warm, sunny appearance at a fraction of the cost, allowing a buyer to enjoy the same cheerful yellow energy in a much larger and wearable size. Compared to yellow diamonds and canary diamonds this citrine offers extraordinary visual impact per dollar, since a 15.05 carat yellow diamond with comparable tone and clarity would be prohibitively expensive. Against yellow sapphires and yellow topazes this gem stands out for its combination of size and even saturation. Yellow sapphires can rival citrine in hardness and prestige but tend to appear more golden or orangey depending on origin, while topaz may show different pleochroism. This Brazilian citrine instead presents a clean, vivid yellow without competing color zones, making it exceptionally versatile and visually commanding.

Beyond monetary value the princess cut gives this citrine a design language that nods to modern classics and historical cutting innovations at the same time. The princess cut was developed to retain weight from rough crystals while delivering intense sparkle, and on this citrine the cutter preserved depth and pavilion angles to concentrate light return through the table. The result is a lively gem whose step influenced crown and pavilion facets throw flashes reminiscent of storied faceted diamonds, while maintaining the warm glow unique to quartz family stones. The clarity noted as very very slightly included means the gem is essentially eye clean, a quality often sought in gemstones of notable carat weight. The excellent polish elevates the finish, so the surface lustre reads like more costly gemstones under daylight and indoor lighting alike. Brazil is a time honored source of fine citrines, and the country s deposits have produced many of the market s best color expressions, so the origin here further supports the stone s pedigree.
