What is a pave wedding band?

The name “pave” originates from a French term that means to pave and it is pronounced “pa-vay”. A pave setting is seamless for both engagement and wedding bands. In such a setting, tiny pieces of diamonds are lined on the shank of the band. In the midpoint, there is a big diamond or a gemstone. The small stones are separated and each piece is set individually with microscopic metal settings and set very close together. The shoulders look as if they are dusted with diamonds and one feels that the band is made only of glittering diamonds as the metals become inconspicuous. The final appearance is of a continuous line of brilliant small diamonds.

What makes pave wedding bands so popular?

The best thing about the pave rings is that they combine perfectly with other kinds of settings such as solitaires, three-stone rings, or halos. No matter what style you opt for, you can always insert pave detailing in it. They complement any shape of diamond. Owing to their classic design, and timeless appeal, they can essentially capture everyone’s attention. For example, a princess cut, and a pave band or a curled pear shape ring look attractive. However, pave bands are not very suitable for those who are very active or have to get their hands dirty or work hard every day. So, if you enjoy painting, gardening, lifting weights, or similar activities, then it would be advisable to remove the band first.

Pave setting types

Some forms of popular pave settings are micro pave, French pave, and petite pave to name just a few. Diamonds of size .01-.02 carats are mainly used in pave set. In case they are smaller than that then they are called micro pave and used in very slender bands. A normal micro-pave setting may have a hundred or more sparkling diamonds clustered together to appear like an unbroken band of diamonds.

French pave settings are not the same as a classic pave setting as every small diamond is sited within a small V-shaped gap inscribed in the ring. With this style, you cannot see much of the metal and the sides of diamonds are more visible, thus appearing like a line of diamonds. The French pave setting is well-loved for its stunning sparkle. Petite pave settings differ from conventional pave settings. Instead of making use of the big prongs, this setting makes way for smaller prongs and makes the pave diamonds look more prominent.

Prominent figures, and celebrities such as Meghan Markle, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, and Blake Lively, have been spotted sporting pave diamond bands on their left hands. Thus, it indicates the popularity of pave setting among the Royals and celebrities in the entertainment industry. Pave has turned into quite an artistic piece of jewelry design that reflects an individual style statement. You too can achieve the same with the right choice.
