Meaning ‘pavement’ in French, the term Pave refers to a setting style rather than an actual type or cut of stone. Within this style, there are different settings that fall under the pave umbrella. Pave diamonds are held in place by metal beads that are barely visible in order to create a seamless effect. Most pave diamonds are actually called melee (pronounced like belly); melee is a collection of diamonds that weigh than ⅕ carat, or 0.2ct.

In a 2011 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Elizabeth Taylor gave us a narrow glimpse into her famous infatuation with jewelry. She notably exclaimed: “I love to be casual and comfortable, but I also love the easy glamour of wearing jewelry all the time.” Matching jewelry to an outfit can radically transform your look. A simple black ensemble can go from sleek and chic to vivaciously glamorous with the right assortment of complimentary jewelry.

NYC is like that overachieving classmate that takes AP classes, plays a varsity sport, and overwhelmingly wins the vote for student body president. Not only is NYC home to Broadway, Wall Street, the Met, and the Empire State Building, it also houses the notorious fine jewelry diamond district.
