MATCHING PAIRS

Matching pairs, diamond stud earrings

Two natural diamonds chosen to form a true matching pair, the same brilliance, the same character on both sides. Stone quality first, gold setting second.

First, matching the diamonds

The real work behind a pair of stud earrings isn't the setting's design, it's the matching. Two certified natural diamonds, chosen to share the same colour, clarity and weight, so the eye sees no difference between the left and right ear. That consistency is what makes a true matching pair, rather than two diamonds that are merely similar.

Then, the gold setting

White, yellow or rose 18k gold, set with 4 or 6 prongs depending on the size and shape chosen. The setting is made once the two diamonds are selected and matched, never before.

Your criteria

Give me a range rather than a single choice, it helps me find you the best value for money.

Matching matters as much as each stone's quality Two fine diamonds that are poorly matched will always look less harmonious than two slightly more modest stones that are perfectly paired. It's real selection work, not just a set of criteria.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a "matching pair"?

It's a trade term for two diamonds selected together to be as alike as possible, same colour, same clarity, same weight, often cut by the same hand. Unlike two diamonds that are merely "close", a true matching pair shows no visible difference between the two stones, even under a loupe.

What size diamond should I choose, from a baby to an adult?

For a first pair (birth, christening), a very modest weight per stone is more than enough. For a teenager, a slight step up remains discreet for everyday wear. For an adult, the choice is more open and mostly depends on budget and desired style, I'll guide you based on the occasion.

Why isn't it enough for two diamonds to just be "similar"?

Two diamonds can have the exact same carat weight and still look different to the eye, a slightly warmer colour, a touch less clarity, a slightly less round cut. That matching work, done under the loupe, is exactly what guarantees true visual symmetry between both ears.

Can I gift a single stud, or only as a pair?

A single stud is entirely possible, for an extra piercing or a more modest gift. In that case, matching no longer applies, I simply select the finest diamond matching your criteria.
