9.95 Ct. Citrine from Brazil

This exceptional orangish yellow citrine, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, is the kind of stone that arrests the eye and rewards the connoisseur. Weighing 9.95 carat, and fashioned into a perfect round shape, its dimensions of 15.78 x 15.76 x 9.83 mm confirm the substantial presence this gem will command in any setting. The cutter has chosen a mixed brilliant cut to marry depth with fire, allowing light to enter and reflect with a lively brilliance that complements the medium intense color intensity. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is eye clean, ensuring that the faceting reads with a purity that makes the gem appear almost to glow from within. An excellent polish gives every facet a mirror finish, so the stone behaves like a jewel of light when it turns, and the heat treated enhancement used is a standard, stable practice that has been employed to intensify and stabilise the warm, sunlike tones that citrine is celebrated for. Originating from Brazil, this citrine carries with it the legacy of one of the world’s most fruitful gemstone regions, and its transparency and proportion make it eminently suitable for a showpiece ring, an elegant solitaire pendant, or a bespoke brooch that will draw the eye and admiration in any room.

Citrine has a storied heritage that dates back through centuries of adornment and belief, and this stone is a modern continuation of that lineage. Revered for its warm golden hue, citrine has long been linked to the sustaining energies of the sun, carried by travelers as a talisman of protection, and prized by merchants and leaders as a symbol of prosperity and clear thinking. In the hands of ancient jewelers, yellow quartz stones were set into ceremonial ornaments and signet pieces, and through the ages citrine has been adopted into courtly jewelry for its vivacity and approachable luxury. The Brazilian origin of this particular gem adds another chapter to that history, because the mines of Brazil have supplied gem collectors and royal ateliers alike with fine examples of quartz for generations. Heat treatment, applied with careful expertise, enhances the depth of color while maintaining the natural crystalline character of the stone, and this practice is widely accepted among connoisseurs who seek a balance between natural origin and optimum color expression. The mixed brilliant cut in this example is a contemporary interpretation of traditional cutting techniques, preserving the gem’s inherent warmth while increasing scintillation, which allows the wearer to experience both the ancient symbolism of citrine and the modern desire for intense optical performance.

To own this 9.95 carat Brazilian citrine is to claim an object that says something quietly authoritative about your taste and position.

Imagine this gem set in a low, elegant crown that allows the pavilion to breathe, its facets playing against polished metal, the orangish yellow heart of the stone catching the eye and keeping it. For those who commission bespoke pieces, this citrine is an ideal focal point for a ring that signifies both achievement and warmth, or for a pendant that rests near the heart and conveys a sophisticated ease.
