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.
The sapphire gemstone is a rare and valuable stone often used as an alternative to the diamond gemstone. With a bevy of color hues, the sapphire is an intriguing gemstone that has a rich history of value and appreciation. Ancient cultures used sapphires in alchemy and religious rituals, while prominent figures like Helen of Troy, King Solomon, and Marco Polo boasted bold, ostentatious sapphires on their person as a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
