1.51 Ct. Madeira Citrine from Brazil

There is a lineage to gemstones that reads like a map of human taste and travel, and this pear shaped Madeira citrine is a bright page in that story. At 1.51 carats, with dimensions of 9.97 by 6.92 by 4.49 millimeters, this stone carries a presence that is both refined and unmistakable. Its yellowish orange hue is vivid and warm, recalling sunlit amber and fine Madeira wine, while its mixed brilliant cut allows light to dance with a measured brilliance. The excellent polish of this gem brings every facet to a clean and elegant finish, making it a natural focal point for a classic pendant or a heritage style ring. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select stones that speak to collectors and connoisseurs alike, and this citrine, sourced from Brazil and heat treated to refine its tone, is a timeless example of nature and craft in balance.

Historically, citrine has been admired for centuries for its cheerful, enduring color, and Madeira citrine has long been prized for its deeper, more complex orange tones. This particular gem carries that tradition forward with a modern cut that honors classical proportions. The pear shape is a heritage form that has been favored across eras for its graceful teardrop silhouette, a versatile shape that flatters the hand and the neckline in equal measure. The mixed brilliant cut here combines the scintillation of a brilliant with the elegance of a step facet arrangement, giving the gem both fire and depth. For those who appreciate designs that bridge past and present, this citrine offers a narrative quality, suggesting heirlooms to be passed down through generations and stories to be told with each wear.

Inclusions in gemstones are like fingerprints, they are natural signatures that tell a story of formation and authenticity, and this citrine is no exception. Graded as very very slightly included, as evaluated at eye level, the stone exhibits fine internal characteristics that are only visible under close inspection, and these features add, rather than detract from, its character. These tiny inclusions can take the form of slender needles, minute crystals, or fine growth lines, and in this Madeira citrine they create subtle patterns that catch the eye when the stone is examined closely. Rather than concealing these marks, our approach at The Natural Gemstone Company is to celebrate them. They confirm the gem is a product of natural geological processes in Brazil, and they make each stone wholly unique, a small map of pressure, heat, and time that complements the vivid color and meticulous cutting. For collectors who value provenance and individuality, these inclusions are reassurance of authenticity and a tactile connection to the earth.

Beyond provenance and beauty, this citrine offers practical versatility for jewelry design and daily wear. The 1.51 carat weight and comfortable dimensions make it ideal for both delicate settings and more assertive, classic designs. A vintage inspired halo will enhance the warm color and create a luminous presence, while a simple prong solitaire emphasizes the stone as a singular jewel of distinction. The excellent polish and the mixed brilliant cut ensure the gem performs well under light, producing flashes that are lively without appearing overdone. The heat treatment applied is a common and stable enhancement that brings out the rich Madeira tone, and when properly cared for, this treatment will not diminish the gem over time. For those selecting a setting, treatments and clarity should always be considered, and our specialists at The Natural Gemstone Company are available to advise on the best mounts to protect and showcase this gem for a lifetime.

Choosing this pear shaped Madeira citrine is choosing a piece of enduring style and natural legacy.
