    Maybe.  But some call themselves both artists AND craftsmen.  Such a
    person would know that whether or not a pair of anything, such as
    earrings, needs to match, is an aesthetic choice, one often made more
    for convention's sake, rather than because it needs to be so, and
    would be just as happy producing a pair of items that complemented
    each other, without needing to exactly match, if that were the best
    choice, aesthetically, for the design, while also having the
    technical skill to do it either way if desired...
