8.33 ctw Vintage Citrine Pair — Shield Step Cuts
Collector's Note
A fun and unusually shaped matched pair of vintage citrines totaling 8.33 carats. Their rounded shield outlines and step-cut faceting give them a distinctive architectural look that is rarely encountered as a matched pair. They would be particularly appealing for statement earrings or as substantial matched side stones in a three-stone design.
