Rare gems are even more valuable when found in a matching pair or suite, and they make wonderful gifts for someone special.
Most fine gems are one-of-a-kind, especially in larger sizes. The most opportune time to match up gems is when the rough stone is cut. Sometimes a parcel of similar material will yield a matching pair without much sacrifice of weight. Very occasionally a more elaborate suite is possible, with matching stones for ring, pendant and earrings.
During the cutting process we are always looking for opportunities to create matching sets. When you buy a fine gemstone from AJS Gems, you buy our eye as well as our gem.
Our collection of matched pairs and suites is always changing, but we currently have an excellent selection of pairs in a number of varieties, including Aquamarine, Black Star Sapphire, Imperial Topaz, Morganite, Royal Purple Garnet, Blue Tourmaline and Spessartite Garnet.
We can set a fine pair or suite in custom jewelry just for you. You can see examples in our Jewelry Gallery.
