Buying guide

What a pavé setting is

In a pavé setting, rows of small stones sit close together in the band, each held by tiny beads or prongs of metal, so the surface looks paved with sparkle. Here those stones are lab-grown diamond accents. A single row gives a fine, delicate line. Double, triple and multi-row pavé bands look wider and brighter, and pavé that covers only the shoulders keeps the back of the band plain and easy to resize.

Styles in this collection

  • Pavé solitaire: one center stone on a pavé band, the most common style here.
  • Multi-row and domed pavé: wider bands with several lines of accents.
  • Vintage milgrain pavé: beaded metal edges for an antique look.
  • Hidden halo and split shank: extra sparkle under the center or a band that divides as it rises.

A few designs are made for a fancy yellow, green or blue center.

Pave Engagement Rings FAQs

What are pavé rings?

A pavé ring has a band set with rows of small stones placed close together, so the metal looks paved with sparkle. In an engagement ring, the pavé runs along the band or shoulders and leads the eye to the center. On this page the pavé is made of lab-grown diamond accents, and you choose the center stone separately.

Are pavé rings more expensive?

Usually a little. Setting many small stones takes more labor and adds accents, so a pavé setting costs more than a plain band of the same design. Wider multi-row bands cost more than a single row. On this page pavé settings start from about $650, and most are between about $1,200 and $1,450 before the center.

Does pavé look cheap?

No. Well-set pavé looks bright and finished, and it makes the center look larger. What can look cheap is pavé with uneven stones or thick, bulky prongs. Look for even rows, small neat beads of metal, and a band width that suits the center. A fine single row looks delicate; multi-row pavé looks bold.

Are pavé rings durable?

Yes, for everyday wear with some care. The small stones are held by tiny beads of metal, so a hard knock can loosen one, and a pavé band can't be resized as freely as a plain one. Pavé on the top half only is the most secure and comfortable. Have the stones checked once a year and remove the ring for heavy work.

What wedding bands look good with pavé engagement rings?

A matching pavé band makes a bright, even stack, and a plain polished band lets the engagement ring stand out. Curved or notched bands sit flush against settings with a low center. Pick the same metal color and a similar band width, so the two rings sit evenly side by side.
