Definition of Pavé Engagement Rings
A pavé ring (pronounced "pah-vay") gets its name from the French word for "paved," like a cobblestone street. In this ring setting, tiny diamonds (or other gemstones) are set closely together with minimal visible metal, creating a continuous surface of sparkle. These smaller diamonds are held in place by tiny beads of precious metals that are meticulously crafted to secure each stone, giving the illusion that the entire surface of the band is "paved" with brilliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pavé a Good Choice for an Engagement Ring?
Yes, pavé is an excellent choice for an engagement ring for those who desire maximum sparkle and a great appearance. It beautifully enhances the center stone and adds a luxurious touch, making it a very popular style.
Is a Pavé Setting Durable?
Yes, pavé settings can be durable, but they require careful handling. The tiny diamonds are held in place by small beads of metal, which are generally secure. However, significant impacts can potentially dislodge the smaller stones. Regular professional inspections help ensure the security of the setting.
Do Pavé Diamonds Fall Out Easily?
Not if well-made, but regular inspections help prevent loss from daily wear.
What is a French Pavé Setting?
French pavé is a specific pavé setting technique where V-shaped cuts are made in the metal to nestle the tiny diamonds, minimizing the visibility of the metal beads that hold them. This creates a very refined and continuous line of sparkle, making the diamonds appear to float seamlessly.
Does a Pavé Setting Make a Diamond Look Bigger?
Yes, a pavé setting can make the center diamond appear larger. The surrounding smaller diamonds on the band create a halo of brilliance that extends the perceived sparkle and overall size of the main stone, drawing the eye and enhancing its prominence.
Are Pavé Rings More Expensive?
Pavé rings can be more expensive than solitaire rings due to the additional cost of the numerous smaller diamonds and the intensive, detailed labor involved in setting them. The exceptional craftsmanship required for a quality pavé setting contributes to its overall price.
