Things You Need To Know About The Micro Pave Wedding Band

 

Micro pave settings have gained popularity over the years, with engagement rings and wedding bands showcasing the tiny, brilliant diamonds. The stand-apart look achieved by the micro pave wedding band makes it desirable compared to solitaire or other settings that highlight the centerpiece diamond above anything else.  

Characteristics

It is interesting to know that various pave settings come from the French term pave or pavement. The base metal of the wedding band is paved with tiny diamonds, thus creating the micro pave effect. 

The diamonds used in a micro pave setting are small in size. You would have to source diamonds smaller than 0.01 in carat weight. These tiny diamonds are known alternatively as diamond melees. While you are welcome to pick and choose the cut of the small-sized diamond for a conventional to pave setting, the micro pave necessitates the usage of round diamonds that are easier to set into the metal band. 

Setting Process

The expert jeweler drills tiny holes on the surface of the metal and sets each diamond painstakingly into the holes with the ad of a prong or metal bead. The process takes hours to complete, with the time increasing in proportion to the number of diamonds used. The final appearance is a smooth diamond-embellished band with almost no hint of metal underneath the sparkling diamonds. No machinery or artificial appliance is ever used to create a magnificent setting. All master craftsmen do the work by their hands with precision and accuracy guaranteed. 

Color

The right color holds the key to the quality of diamonds. You cannot overlook this aspect even when opting for a micro pave wedding band. Check the wedding band closely and note if the color is consistent throughout. You cannot wear a wedding band with a few yellow-tinted diamonds definite to stick out in the worst possible way. Go ahead and choose to set a combination of colored gemstones instead of diamonds within the band. Again, the design must be appealing, with the color consistency remaining intact. 

Uniformity

 

A diamond-embellished wedding band should be even on the surface. You cannot have a few diamonds placed unevenly, thus marring the beautiful setting. The smooth, uniform design is the hallmark of the micro pave setting. You cannot afford to experiment with it. 

There are reasons galore to choose a micro to pave setting when deciding on a wedding band.
