How to Select the Perfect Pair of Cushion Cut Diamonds

“A friend of mine just bought a pair of diamond stud earrings from Brian Gavin for Valentines Day, and I have to say that I was “blinded by the light” to the extent that I truly begin to feel a bit awkward because I just couldn’t stop staring at them! They were three quarter carat each diamond stud earrings, and I want a pair of my own, but I don’t want to look like I’m copying my friend, so I’m thinking Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamonds for earrings – do people do that sort of thing? How would they look? And do you have any matched pairs of BGD Signature Cushion cut diamonds for around $6K?”

How to match up cushion cut diamonds for earrings:

The easiest way to match up cushion cut diamonds for earrings is to use the search tool provided on the web site to search for matched pairs of Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamonds, simply adjust the sliders to account for the range of combined carat weight that you are looking for, and for diamond clarity, and diamond color, price, etc. and the diamond search tool will provide you with the best options available.

I used the tool provided to search for matched pairs of Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamonds to match up this pair of Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamonds weighing 1.442 carats, which are SI-1 in clarity, and I-in color, with an overall cut grade of AGS Ideal-0, as determined by the American Gem Society Laboratory (AGSL) on their Light Performance grading platform.

Note that 1.442 carats is the combined total carat weight of the two diamonds, they weigh 0.714 and 0.728 carats individually. Diamond earrings are generally described by the combined total weight of the diamonds that comprise the pair, instead of their individual carat weight.

Since you clearly want to maintain the appearance of not copying the pair of Brian Gavin Signature round diamond stud earrings purchased by your friend, I thought you might appreciate the Brian Gavin Truth style diamond stud earrings pictured above, as an alternative to the three stone Martini style hand-made settings that your friend purchased.

Both the hand-made Martini style earrings and the Truth style diamond studs are custom made to order, and thus they are made to fit the diamond selected perfectly. Now the one thing that I would recommend that you copy about the diamond earrings ordered by your friend, are the La Pousette locking earring posts and earring backs that provide better security and minimize the risk of loss. Note that La Pousette locking earring backs require a special earring post that is notched to work with the La Pousette locking mechanism, and thus they must be ordered at the same time as the earring studs.
