Hi everyone. I've learned lots reading this site, and am looking for input on the following pair of diamonds. These will be used for a pair of stud earrings for my partner. After lots of reading here, and searching across multiple vendors, I've come across this pair which I'm having held for me.
.992 Caret, F, VS2, AGO Ideal 0, HCA 0.9 (All EX except VG for spread), Table 56.3, Crown 34.6, Pavillion 40.7

.991 Caret, G, VS2, AGO Ideal 0, HCA 1.0 (All EX except VG for spread), Table 55.8, Crown 34.7, Pavillion 40.7

Do these seem like they would make a good matched pair?
ASET images and certs are available online, does anyone see anything of concern? It looks like the inclusions are visible from the top, but I'm guessing they are only even noticeable online because of the extreme magnification.
Also wondering if this might be overkill for earrings. I'm OK with the cost, these are going to someone who is very special to me, but don't want to foolishly overpay.
For context, my partner mentioned just before the holidays that she had never gotten herself any "nice" earrings. Since time was short, I picked up some 0.6 ctw earrings at Costco to give her as a placeholder, and then we went to a local jeweler to try on a few pairs to get a sense of sizing. I'd expected that we'd end up somewhere around 1.5 ctw, and knew I'd want better than Costco cut, so originally was expected to spend around 5-6x what I spend on the placeholders from Costco.
Long story short, of course, at the store, bigger seemed better, once the 2ctw studs were in her ears, it was clear that was the perfect size. So, now here I am at about 3x what I originally was expecting to spend (and 15x the placeholders). I'm not really concerned about the money though.
To be honest, I doubt my partner cares. She was thrilled even with the placeholders (well, at least, before I told her I thought we should go bigger and she tried on the 2ctw). I doubt she cares that much about going this premium, but it will bring me immense joy seeing her wear them, and, quite frankly, she deserves them.
