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

This matched pair presents two transparent orange Madeira citrines, weighing 0.48 carats and 0.45 carats respectively, each cut to a round outline with dimensions of 5.05 by 5.05 by 3.60 millimeters and 5.04 by 5.04 by 3.51 millimeters. The tone and saturation are described as intense, delivering a deep, warm orange that is characteristic of premium Madeira material. Origin is Brazil, and enhancement by controlled heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and intensify the hue, a standard and accepted practice for citrine material. For clients who prioritize provenance and treatment disclosure, the pair is presented with transparent notes on origin and enhancement, reinforcing their suitability for collectors and designers seeking stones with documented history and predictable behavior in finished jewelry.

From a cutting and optical performance perspective, these stones are executed in a mixed brilliant style, combining a traditionally brilliant faceted crown with a modified pavilion architecture intended to maximize color saturation and light return. The recorded depths are 3.60 millimeters and 3.51 millimeters relative to diameters of 5.05 millimeters and 5.04 millimeters. These depths correspond to depth percentages of approximately seventy one point three percent and sixty nine point six percent respectively, figures that sit above the shallow range typically used for colorless rounds but which are advantageous for colored gemstones where increased pavilion depth concentrates light and intensifies perceived color. Facet junctions are well defined, and the excellent polish manifests in crisp facet planes that minimize surface diffusion and allow internal fire and scintillation to emerge cleanly. The crown and pavilion facet alignment demonstrates careful planning, with table proportions that preserve table window control while allowing the pavilion facets to contribute to internal brilliance and the warm orange flash associated with Madeira citrine.

Clarity assessment at eye level places these stones at very very slightly included, evaluated under standard viewing conditions, indicating that inclusions are minimal and do not materially detract from appearance when set. The clarity grade is consistent across both stones, supporting their use as a matched pair in symmetric settings. Because the inclusions are minor, they do not interrupt facet reflections or color flow, allowing the intense color to remain visually uninterrupted. The excellent polish and precise girdle finishing further support high quality setting options, whether in direct bezel seats or delicate prong applications. The mixed brilliant faceting approach and controlled pavilion depth make these gems particularly well suited to designs that emphasize depth of color over extreme light dispersion, for example classic stud earrings, halo configurations where the central color benefits from surrounding white metal or diamonds, and complementary paired elements in bespoke rings where color uniformity is critical.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize material selection and lapidary oversight to produce pairs like this that appeal to discerning buyers who seek exclusivity through matched weight, color, and cut. The near identical measurements and close weight pairing create a balanced visual effect in wearable pieces, and the Madeira orange hue offers a distinct alternative to common yellow citrine, appealing to clients who want a signature color statement. Heat treatment in citrine is a stable enhancement that yields long term color durability when mounted and cared for in standard jewelry environments. For clients requesting bespoke work, our gem specialists can recommend mounting profiles that optimize the stones optical behavior, including shoulder angles and bezel depths that preserve pavilion light return, and metal choices that either contrast or complement the intense orange tone. Each pair is selected and documented to maintain consistency in aesthetic and technical attributes, making this offering an ideal choice for exclusive commissions or limited production collections.
