If the ring stone was cushion,emerald,or other square shape would you want the earrings to be a square derivative as well? What about mixing a square type ring stone with round type earring stones?

Tropicmaster Cut Rock Total Posts: 242 Last Post: 11/8/2009 Member Since: 11/27/2007	Ok thanks! These would all be cut from the same piece of rough so color match is a given. "Not Worried About The Jones"

DandiAndi Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,001 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 1/9/2006	I go for what I like. I wouldn't necessarily match shape AND colour, I think different shapes but similar colour creates interest, while still keeping a sense of uniformity.

I prefer round stones for studs, because ovals or squares seem to end up cock-eyed. Rounds always work. If you are making some sort of dangle, other shapes will work, but I love pears. Have you spoken to your jeweler or designer (whoever is setting the stones) about this project yet to get their input? **** Life is a Journey, not a Destination. ****

ma re Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,703 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 8/10/2008	I guess it depends on the type of jewellery. Something formal-looking (more expensive, elegant etc.) should have stones matching in color and shape, but something more casual really has no rules. You can also connect diferent shapes with settings, so that you set the round ones into settings with a square outline, and squares in the ones with a round outline. mr. ma re

But, that said - I thought about it and I would at least want rounded shapes with like, angled shapes with same, KWIM? As in: rounds, ovals and pears ok together (and perhaps "rounded" cushions). Then princess, square cushion, trillion, asscher etc together. I'm sure that was no help, but there ya go, lol ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing." Kahlil Gibran

laurel25 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 800 Last Post: 9/16/2009 Member Since: 5/8/2008	I agree that it depends on the type of jewelry. I definitely like rounds best for studs, but like someone else said, if the earrings are going to be drops, then I think that pears, ovals, or rounds in the earrings would look nice with a round stone in a ring. For a squarish shape ring stone (square, barion, emerald, asscher), then I think that I would stick to another squarish shape - ie - asscher stone in ring, emerald drops on earrings. But the color definitely has to match.
