0.91 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Yellowish Orange Madeira Citrine Pair from Brazil

This matched pair of Madeira citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company presents precise technical qualities suited to discerning designers, each stone weighing 0.46 carats and 0.45 carats respectively, round in outline with yellowish orange hue and intense color intensity. The stones measure 5.04 x 5.03 x 3.51 mm and 5.12 x 5.13 x 3.04 mm, cut as mixed brilliant, a faceting style that combines a brilliant crown for optimal table and crown facet scintillation with a modified pavilion geometry to deepen body color and control light leakage. Clarity is graded eye clean at eye level, and the surfaces exhibit excellent polish, indicating careful lapidary finishing and facet junction uniformity that enhance both fire and directional brightness. Enhancement is disclosed as heat treated, a standard practice to stabilize and intensify Madeira tones, and provenance is Brazil, a source noted for producing saturated citrines with consistent crystal quality.

From a fabrication perspective these stones are highly versatile for a broad range of jewelry applications, their near five millimeter diameters making them ideal as a matched earring set in low profile prong or bezel mounts, or as accent stones flanking a center gem in three stone rings. The mixed brilliant architecture responds well to halo treatments, where the bright crown facets play against a micro pavé field, and to open gallery settings that allow pavilion light return to maximize the intense hue. Designers seeking warm palette ensembles will find these citrines pair exceptionally with yellow gold to emphasize warmth, with rose gold to soften the tone, and with neutral white metals when contrast and brilliance are desired. Their eye clean clarity permits close mounting and minimal metal intrusion, which supports delicate cluster work and fine bezel galleries without visual distraction.

Practical considerations for setting and care are straightforward, the crystals being quartz with a Mohs hardness of seven, which supports everyday wear with normal precautions against sharp blows and strong abrasives. Because the gems are heat treated, routine ultrasonic cleaning is acceptable in most cases, although mechanical agitation should be evaluated by the setter after mounting.
