2.10 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Tourmaline Pair from Brazil

This pair of green tourmalines presents as a carefully matched set, each stone weighing 1.05 carats and originating from Brazil. The gems are fashioned into a refined fancy shape, with dimensions of 11.96 x 3.83 x 3.01 millimeters and 11.87 x 3.89 x 3.05 millimeters respectively, and they exhibit a mixed brilliant cut that marries facets typically used to maximize light return with those that preserve depth and color saturation. Clarity is graded as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, and the surface finish is described as excellent polish. Color intensity is medium, which allows for balanced saturation that reads as vivid but not overpowering, and the material has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement for tourmaline from Brazilian localities. The Natural Gemstone Company provides these specifications to assist in objective assessment and to ensure the pair can be evaluated against precise gemological criteria.

The flawless symmetry of these stones is a defining attribute that materially enhances their visual appeal. Symmetry in faceting governs how light is captured, refracted, and returned to the viewer, and in this pair the close correspondence of facet size, angle, and alignment produces a uniform pattern of light and dark that is pleasing to the eye. The mixed brilliant cut contributes to this effect by employing a well-proportioned crown arrangement that creates scintillation and a pavilion configuration that provides controlled depth and even light return. Because the two stones are matched not only in weight but in linear measurements to within a few hundredths of a millimeter, the optical behavior of each stone mirrors the other under the same lighting conditions. This mirror-like consistency reduces the appearance of stray flashes or unwanted dark zones, and results in an even distribution of color intensity across each face. The elongated proportions of the fancy shape further emphasize linear symmetry, producing a sustained color band along the length of the stone that accentuates the medium intense green without introducing visual fatigue. In practical terms, flawless symmetry produces predictable reflections, consistent scintillation patterns, and a cohesive aesthetic when the pair is set together.

Beyond immediate visual effects, the symmetry and cutting quality of these tourmalines deliver functional advantages for jewelry production and everyday wear. Because the facets meet at uniform junctions and the polish is excellent, secure and precise settings are easier to design, and light interaction within the setting will closely resemble the stones’ appearance when viewed loose. The matched weights of 1.05 carats each and the near-identical measurements ensure a balanced look in paired applications such as drop earrings or companion side stones in a custom pendant. The eye clean clarity grade allows the mixed brilliant design to emphasize surface and facet play rather than internal distraction, maintaining visual transparency and clarity when mounted. The disclosed heat treatment is stable and typical for Brazilian tourmalines, applied to optimize tone and hue while preserving structural integrity. For long term preservation, routine cleaning with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft brush will maintain the excellent polish and the stones’ symmetrical appearance without risk to the enhancement. These specimens, supplied and documented by The Natural Gemstone Company, are suitable for fine jewelry where a matched pair with predictable optical behavior and refined symmetry is required.
