When the moment comes to select an engagement ring, the multitude of options can feel overwhelming.

What Is A Pavé Setting?

A pavé setting (pronounced "pah-vay”) is derived from the French word for "paved." This setting involves closely setting small diamonds together with minimal visibility of the minimal metal setting holding the stones in place. The result is a continuous sparkling surface that seems almost paved with diamonds.

What Designs Feature Pavé Settings?

Pavé settings are versatile and can adorn a variety of ring styles, from classic solitaires with pavé bands to elaborate halo designs where the pavé diamonds encircle a larger center stone. This setting enhances the ring's overall brilliance, making it an ideal choice for those who love a dazzling display.

Should You Choose A Pavé Engagement Ring?

Choosing a pavé engagement ring is a matter of personal taste and lifestyle. If you adore the glamor of sparkling diamonds and are a firm believer that more is more, a pavé setting might be perfect for you. Pavé settings such as Halo engagement rings can also make your center stone appear larger, as well. So if you’re wanting an engagement ring with major impact, consider pavé details for added brilliance.

Caring for Your Pavé Engagement Ring

To ensure your pavé engagement ring remains as stunning as the day you received it, proper care is crucial.

Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Pavé Ring Sparkling

Regular cleaning with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap can help maintain its brilliance. Avoid harsh chemicals and extreme activities that might dislodge the diamonds.

Professional Care and Cleaning Recommendations

Annual check-ups with a professional jeweler are recommended to ensure the pavé diamonds are securely set and to perform a thorough cleaning. This will help catch any potential issues before they become problems.
