19.27 Ct. Citrine from Brazil

This beautiful transparent 19.27 carat oval shape yellow citrine, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, stands apart from the more common small to mid sized citrines that populate the market, because this stone delivers scale, clarity, and a warm hue in a single, ready to set gem. At 19.27 carats this citrine offers a commanding presence that immediately elevates any piece of jewelry, and its face up measurements of 16.93 by 13.56 by 12.45 mm translate into an impressive surface area and depth that many buyers only find in assembled or clustered designs. Where many sellers offer multiple smaller stones to create impact, this single, generous carat weight communicates a cleaner design approach, allowing a jeweler to showcase natural color and cut without visual competition. The oval shape is versatile, flattering on rings, pendants and brooches, and because it is a single, high carat specimen, the design possibilities expand, enabling both classic solitaire settings and modern halo or bezel concepts that benefit from a strong central stone.

The checkerboard cut on the table and crown facets of this citrine is an elegant choice that maximizes scintillation and light return for stones with a lighter color intensity, and when combined with an excellent polish the result is a gem that eats light and returns it as lively sparkle rather than muddled color. This citrine is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which positions it ahead of the majority of market examples that often trade off higher inclusion levels for lower price points. In practical terms this means that at normal viewing distances the stone reads clean and bright, while under magnification the minute inclusions do nothing to detract from its visual appeal. The light color intensity is a sophisticated, sunlit yellow rather than a garish or overly saturated tone, and that soft luminosity tends to wear more gracefully across skin tones and in mixed metal settings, making the gem more adaptable than deeper or artificially intensified yellows.

Origin matters, and this citrine hails from Brazil, a source renowned for producing some of the finest natural citrines and quartz varieties in the trade, which adds provenance value that discerning collectors appreciate. Importantly, this stone has no enhancement, and that fact should be emphasized when comparing offerings on the market because many yellow quartz pieces are heat treated or are the result of altered amethyst to simulate citrine. A truly untreated, natural citrine of this size is uncommon and therefore more desirable for customers who prioritize natural origin and minimal intervention. Compared to yellow topaz or yellow sapphire in similar sizes, this citrine offers compelling value and lighter maintenance needs while still providing dramatic visual impact. Where a large yellow sapphire of this scale would command a steep premium and require complementary metal choices, this natural citrine allows for an elegant, cost effective route to bold jewelry designs without sacrificing the look of luxury.

From a buyer perspective The Natural Gemstone Company presents this 19.27 carat checkerboard cut citrine as a rare opportunity to secure a naturally occurring, well cut and well finished gem that reads large on the hand and photographs beautifully, as shown in lifestyle images. For custom jewelers this stone is ideal for a signature ring that maintains comfort despite its size, or for a pendant where depth and table area allow for light play that changes with movement. For collectors who evaluate stones by their untreated status, origin and clarity, this Brazilian citrine checks all the right boxes, combining a desirable light yellow hue, very very slight inclusions visible only under scrutiny, and an excellent polish that will stand up to close inspection. When you compare like for like, large natural citrines with these combined attributes rarely align at the same price and availability, which is why clients seeking a standout centerpiece should consider this gem from The Natural Gemstone Company as both a stylistic and value oriented choice.
