The Beauty and Elegance of Pave Engagement Rings

When it comes to choosing an engagement ring, the options can be overwhelming. Among the myriad of styles available, one that stands out for its timeless elegance and dazzling appeal is the pave engagement ring. If you’ve ever been captivated by a ring that seems to sparkle with endless brilliance, there’s a good chance you’re looking at a pave design. But what exactly is a pave engagement ring, and what makes it so special? Let’s dive into the details. 

What is a Pave Engagement Ring? 

The term “pave” (pronounced pah-veh) comes from the French word for “paved,” which perfectly describes the effect created by this style of setting. In a pave engagement ring, small diamonds or gemstones are set closely together, covering the surface of the band with a continuous sparkle. The settings used are so minimal that the metal beneath them is almost invisible, giving the impression that the ring is paved with diamonds. In our showroom, you and your partner can see, try on, and take photos of our numerous pave engagement ring designs. This allows you to get a sense of how a pave engagement ring will look on your finger, as well as help you decide on the pave setting that speaks to you and your partner the most. 

The Craftsmanship Behind Pave Settings

There are different types of pave settings, including micro-pave, classic pave, and bead-set pave. Micro-pave features very tiny diamonds and is often used to cover more of the band. Classic pave settings involve slightly larger stones and a more traditional look, while bead-set pave uses small beads of metal to secure the diamonds. The diamonds or gemstones are set into tiny holes, or channels, in the band. This meticulous placement ensures that the stones are tightly packed together, creating a uniform and seamless sparkle. The metal used in a pave setting is usually white gold, yellow gold, or platinum. The setting is crafted to hold the stones securely, while allowing maximum light to pass through, enhancing their brilliance. 

Advantages of Pave Engagement Rings 

One of the most obvious advantages of a pave setting is its incredible sparkle. The numerous small stones reflect light in all directions, making the ring appear more dazzling than a single solitaire diamond of the same carat weight. Pave settings add a touch of vintage charm and sophistication. The intricate work and the illusion of a continuous diamond surface create a highly elegant appearance. Pave settings can be incorporated into a variety of ring styles, as you will be able to see with our prototypes. From classic solitaires to intricate halo designs, they complement various types of engagement rings and can be paired with both traditional and modern wedding bands. 

Things to Consider 

Due to the small stones and intricate setting, pave engagement rings can require more frequent maintenance. Dust and dirt can accumulate in the tiny crevices, so regular cleaning is essential to keep the ring looking its best. When you purchase your engagement ring with Soha Diamond Co., cleanings and inspections are complementary, so rest assured that we will ensure your ring stands the test of time. The small stones in a pave setting are more susceptible to damage compared to a solitaire setting. In the event that a stone is loose or falls out, our Lifetime Service Plan covers this, and is free to you.

You are able to choose the type of metal, size and shape of the stones, and the design of the setting, ensuring an engagement ring that perfectly suits your love.
