Everything You Wanted To Know About Pave Wedding Bands

 

There's nothing that could supersede the brilliance of a diamond when gifted on a special occasion. Sure, an engagement ring or a wedding band without the sparkle of enticing diamonds would fail to hold attention. However, diamonds come in all shapes and sizes, and choosing between them can prove to be a challenge. It is certainly not surprising to note that pave wedding bands have achieved tremendous popularity of late thanks to the enhanced sparkle and elegant look. 

 The shape of the diamonds does not matter so much as each could have a pave setting to increase the eye-capturing effect. You will thus be able to design a setting around the conventional round shape, ovals, and emerald cuts. You may also use this style of setting or a variety of engagement and eternity rings along with ornate bands customized to fit the occasion. 

 What is a Pavé setting?

 It is a specific type of jewelry setting wherein the entire shank of the ring or the band comes covered with small-sized diamonds. There is no metal evident when you wear it. The diamonds are held in place with the aid of prongs or minute beads, thus creating a continuous line of diamonds that sparkle all the way. Your finger will appear encased in a circle of fire. It originates from the French term pavé with the entire area paved with diamonds. Neither the prongs and beads nor the underlying metallic band is visible as a result. 

 Engagement rings favor using this setting for accent diamonds, thus emphasizing the brightness of the center stone. The scintillating effect of the pave set in a band makes it appear even more enticing, and you are sure to feel pleased with the product. 

 There is no scarcity of styles when you are eager to choose the pave diamond setting for the wedding band. You will find similar pavé-set rings and bands in vintage designs and modern pieces. Do not hope to incorporate huge diamonds in such a setting, however. The rule of thumb is to incorporate small diamonds between .01-.02 carat weights within the wedding bands. 

 Process of paving the band

Your jeweler will have to drill holes into the band and place each diamond meticulously inside them. Tiny prongs or beads encircle the diamond to hold it in position. The continuous sparkle deceives the eye, making the viewer wonder how the diamond band appears intact without any indication of metallic screws or prongs. 

 Benefits of wearing Pave wedding bands

 A wedding band displays your marital status without having to tell it in so many words. Highlighting the status utilizing a beautiful pave wedding band will enable you to:-

  • Adorn your ring finger most aptly
  • Display a timeless classic style without being loud about it
  • Forgo any distraction as there is no centerpiece diamond to capture all the attention

Check with your jeweler for the best type of setting for pave wedding bands. You are welcome to get a Micro pavé, French pavé or the Petite pavé as per your desire.
