A pave engagement ring features tiny diamonds set closely together along the band, giving the appearance that the surface is “paved” with diamonds. The technique comes from the French word pavé, meaning “paved.”
Yes! The pavé setting adds additional sparkle by maximizing the light reflection from the smaller diamonds along the band, which enhances the brilliance of the center diamond.
Pavé details pair beautifully with many engagement ring settings, including solitaire, halo, hidden halo, three-stone settings.
While pavé rings are delicate in appearance, they’re crafted for durability. At MollyJewelryUS, each diamond band is made with expert attention to security and structure to ensure long-lasting wear. However, as with all fine jewelry, care is essential to maintain their shine and integrity.
White gold and rose gold are among the most popular choices, as they beautifully complement the diamonds and enhance the ring’s overall light play. You can also choose from platinum or yellow gold depending on your personal style and preference.
The price varies depending on the diamond size, total carat weight, metal, and whether you choose a custom ring. Pavé settings typically use smaller diamonds, which makes them more budget-friendly than rings with a large single stone, while still offering incredible sparkle.
Resizing pavé rings requires extra care because of the tiny diamonds set into the band. While resizing is possible, it should be done by an experienced jeweler to ensure the pavé setting remains secure and the stones are not loosened. For large size adjustments, it may be better to consider a custom remake to preserve the ring’s integrity and sparkle.
Yes! Despite their intricate design, pavé engagement rings are crafted to sit comfortably on the finger. The tiny diamonds are securely set into the band, so they won’t scratch or irritate the skin. At MollyJewelryUS, we pay close attention to smooth edges and precise ring setting details to ensure everyday comfort.
