The name of this ring is derived from the word “Pave”, pronounced as Pa Vay. True to its name, a cluster of tiny diamonds is encrusted in either a gold or a platinum band to develop the Pave diamond solitaire engagement ring. The end result is a sparkling an glamurous ring which does not exuberate subtlety by any means. It is available mainly in three styles and can be modified in accordance with custom preferences.

The first princess diamond engagement ringoption is a Single Band consisting of a single row of numerous tiny brilliant cut diamonds encrusted together and rarely a large precious stone is set amongst them.The other design is the Three-Dimensional Band. In this ring a central row of diamonds with the centre stone is slightly elevated than the single lines set at an angle on either side to support the middle row. These modifications can be done depending on your monetary bandwidth. If opting to do so please be aware whether the jeweler is setting the center stone in a Basket-Set, Bezel-Set or Prong-Set manner in the ring. The plain cluster can also be set on a thin band. You can also select whether to extend the diamonds on the whole band (“Full Pave”) or to cover only half the band (“Half Pave”). Last but not the least a wide band of diamonds is the most popular of the three styles. Another option would be to go with Blue Diamond band. You can find out more about blue diamonds at this Blue Diamond Ring Guide.

To make a white gold diamond engagement ring, small holes are drilled in the ring shank to place the tiny diamonds. After each diamond is positioned in its respective hole, tiny bits of metal are pushed over from the shank’s surface over the edges of the diamonds, which results in tiny beads that hold the diamonds in place. The goal is to have as the least possible visible metal so that the brilliance of the stones can be clearly seen.

The price of a pave diamond ring depends basically on the amount of gold (or platinum in some cases) used and the type of the diamonds. Other than that the overall design also decides the price. There is one downside to pave diamond rings. Pave setting is not always the most stable style of holding diamonds. Other than the risk of diamonds falling out, another problem is that of dirt getting trapped in the ring and obscuring the brilliance. Regular cleaning and inspection should be done to ensure that your pave diamond ring stays in good shape. Care should be taken while wearing, too; even a small jerk may dislodge one or more diamonds of your precious pave diamond ring.
