Matching pairs gemstones are two stones selected to look alike in colour, shape and size. They are made for earrings, cufflinks and side stones, where any mismatch would be easy to see.
How to choose a matching pair
- Check colour side by side: the pair should look the same in daylight and indoor light.
- Compare measurements: both stones should be close in millimetres, not just in carat.
- Confirm the weight: see whether the listed weight is for the pair or for each stone.
- Look at the cut: similar facet patterns make the pair sparkle the same way.
- Plan for size: smaller pairs feel everyday in studs, while larger pairs feel dressy.
