WHAT IS A PAVE ENGAGEMENT RING?

THE ANSWER

Pavé means "paved" in French. The technique makes a ring's surface look paved with diamonds. Jewellers drill small holes in the metal. They set tiny diamonds called melee stones close together. Small metal beads or prongs hold them in place. The metal almost disappears. You see a continuous line of sparkle. Pavé can cover the band, create a halo around the centre stone, or even decorate the prongs. The goal is maximum brilliance without pulling focus from the main diamond.
