A pair is the professional term for two identically polished gemstones. Pairs of gemstones are generally used for matching settings in jewelry including rings, pendants and earrings. The process of manufacturing pairs involves the finding of similarly polished stones and their subsequent identical polishing.
The process of locating polished stones of similar dimensions, such as teardrops, can sometimes be lengthy. This is the reason why an additional premium is added to the price of pairs. Many manufacturers set aside potential stones already at the manufacturing stage, while ensuring the top quality and dimensions of the stones.
