ABOUT PAVÉ SET ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Engagement rings set with pavé diamonds can give off quite a stunning appearance. A pavé set engagement ring is typically made with very small round cut diamonds set so close to one another that the edge of the stones touch - giving the engagement ring the look of having a solid field of diamonds atop the band and/or prongs of the engagement ring setting. Because of the way the diamonds are set very close together, there is not much visible metal and the diamonds appear to stand alone on the band of the engagement ring without the assistance of conventional prongs. The pavé diamonds on a ring setting can wrap all the way around the ring or half way down the band. When the pavé diamonds are set all the way around the band it is called an eternity or full pavé ring. Most pave settings do not have diamonds going all the way around the band as some say that the small diamonds can rub the inside of the hand. French cut pavé is another breathtaking and popular style. In the French cut pavé style, smaller diamonds are set in the same pavé type setting giving added brilliance to more delicate and intricate settings.
