Matched Lab-Grown Diamonds & Coordinated Sets

The agreed criteria may include dimensions, proportions, outline, color appearance and how the stones look together. Identical report labels alone do not establish a visually balanced pair. Define what matters for the finished earrings or other design.

No. A 1.00 ct total-weight pair may contain two stones of approximately 0.50 ct each, while 1.00 ct each describes a different request. State both each-stone and group weight explicitly, and use actual proposed values at approval.

A calibrated parcel works within a defined size interval. A graduated set deliberately changes size according to a layout. The former needs a sorting specification; the latter needs position data and an approved size progression, often with mirrored opposing stones.

Use a numbered bill of materials with dimensions, quantities, intended positions and document requirements. Include a layout drawing when the visual progression is important. The list is reviewed as a sourcing request, with availability and terms confirmed separately.

Retain the approved each-stone measurements, matching criteria and position list rather than relying on the total weight alone. Explain which positions need replacement or replenishment. New proposed goods should be reviewed against the original acceptance criteria.
