How to choose the right diamonds for a set: earrings, a ring, a pendant? Why can two diamonds with the same weight, color, and clarity look like they're not a match? In this video from the "How to Read a Diamond" course, we'll explore how to professionally select diamonds for a set: earrings, a ring, a pendant, a brooch, or a complex jewelry set. The main mistake is choosing stones solely by carat weight. Two round diamonds, even with a GIA certificate and an Excellent cut, can differ significantly in diameter. Therefore, when choosing a pair or set, visual harmony is more important than weight: size, color, cut, fluorescence, and the overall optical impression. In the video, I explain: why selecting by weight often leads to error; how to compare diamonds by size; the importance of color, clarity, and fluorescence; why FL and VS2 can look the same to the naked eye; why GIA, HRD, and IGI certificates are important; Why a perfectly matched pair of diamonds costs more; How to optimize your budget when buying a set. This video will be useful for those choosing diamonds for earrings, a ring, a pendant, or wanting to order a jewelry set and speak professionally with a jeweler.

Rare Carat explicitly advises looking primarily at the sizes of a pair, as the same weight does not guarantee the same diameter and depth. https://www.rarecarat.com/jewelry/ear... Whiteflash emphasizes that inconsistencies in brightness, color, or size are immediately noticeable in earrings, and a pair should look balanced in different lighting. https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diam... Tiffany & Co. uses the term "matching by size, color, clarity, and presence," that is, by the overall visual presence of the pair. https://nl.tiffany.com/jewelry/earrin... De Beers describes the selection of diamonds for earrings as a "selection by eye" and precise matching by experts for harmony and balance. https://www.debeers.com/en-nl/aura-ro... Krikawa Custom Jewelers writes that matching two stones by color, size, and cut is a "work of art," a separate art form. https://www.krikawa.com/diamonds/diam... The GIA states that VVS and VS clarity grades are generally not visible without magnification, although the price difference can be significant. https://4cs.gia.edu/en-us/blog/vvs-di... The GIA states that the perceived color of a diamond when viewed face-on depends on size, shape, cut, fluorescence, lighting, and setting. https://www.igi.org/consumer-educatio... GIA Gems & Gemology shows that the effect of blue fluorescence is not limited to a deterioration in appearance; for casual observers, no systematic negative effect was observed. https://www.gia.edu/gems-gemology/win...
