This luminous oval yellow citrine, a transparent 4.01 carat gem measuring 12.13 by 9.83 by 5.85 millimeters, embodies the long and storied tradition of warm golden stones that have adorned the collars and crowns of many generations. Cut to a mixed brilliant style and finished with an excellent polish, this stone returns light with a lively scintillation that evokes sunlight captured in crystal. The gem displays vivid color intensity, and its clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a mark of fine clarity that allows the lively hue and internal fire to take center stage. Heat treated to enhance and stabilize its hue, this citrine carries the classic appeal of a time honored gem whose roots stretch back into history, a piece that reads as both heritage and statement. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, it fits naturally into settings that favor tradition, from classic solitaires to vintage inspired halos, offering a sense of continuity and legacy to the wearer.
Beyond its aesthetic lineage, this citrine is well suited for daily wear, combining enduring beauty with practical durability. As a member of the quartz family it has a hardness of seven on the Mohs scale, offering solid resistance to everyday scratches when set with care, and the excellent polish preserves its brilliance through regular use. The heat treatment applied is a stable enhancement, and routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will keep the facets lively without risk, while avoiding harsh chemicals, sharp blows, and prolonged exposure to extreme heat will protect the gem. For rings and bracelets where impact is more likely, protective settings such as bezels or lowered crowns will prolong the gem's pristine appearance for decades. Whether chosen as an heirloom to pass down, a daily companion in an elegant ring, or the centerpiece of a treasured pendant, this 4.01 carat oval citrine from The Natural Gemstone Company brings together historical resonance, classic design, and the practical resilience required for everyday jewelry.
