Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pave setting on an engagement ring?

A pave engagement ring is a type of diamond engagement ring that has small diamonds set with beads, or prongs, in a close formation on the band. These rings are usually designed with one row going around the entire circumference of the ring, but some designs have two or three rows. Pave engagement rings are made using a variety of different metals such as gold, platinum, white gold, and silver.

What is the most popular metal for a delicate pave band engagement ring?

In general, white gold has proven more popular for a delicate pave band engagement ring. However, in the last couple years, yellow gold has started becoming more popular.

How does a pave setting differ from a micropave?

Smaller than regular pave, micropave shanks usually measure 2 millimeters or less. At Lauren B, we also have our Super Slim pave band for the most delicate of appearances at 1.5mm wide. Our Super Slim bands are made by hand and feature full-cut, round brilliant diamonds.

How can I clean my delicate pave engagement ring?

To help your pave diamond engagement ring maintain its luster, it is important to care for it appropriately. This can entail regular cleanings, which must be done carefully in order to avoid scratching the ring or dislodging its stones. To clean your pave engagement ring, soak it in a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water to loosen any debris, then lightly brush with a soft-bristle brush. Once done, remove the ring and rinse under running water, then pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Following these instructions to clean your pave engagement ring on a regular basis will ensure it looks stunning for decades to come.

Pavé diamonds are held in place by metal beads that are barely visible in order to create a seamless effect. Most pavé diamonds are actually called melee (pronounced like belly); melee is a collection of diamonds that weigh more than ⅕ carat, or 0.2ct. Unlike solitaire engagement rings, a style that only features a center stone and no other diamonds on the band, pave rings add that extra sparkle to any shape or band. Since pavé diamonds are considered accent diamonds, their color and clarity are not as high and therefore don’t cost as much. While there are different types of diamond settings in general, there are also different types of pave settings: the most popular are micropave, multi-row pave, fishtail pave, and bright-cut pave.
