Question 1

What is a pave setting engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

A pave setting engagement ring features small accent diamonds set closely together along the band, held in place by tiny prongs or beads. The result is a band that appears to be paved with continuous sparkle, adding brilliance to the overall ring.

Question 2

How are diamonds set in a pave ring?

Accepted Answer

In a pave setting, small diamonds are set closely together across the surface of the band, held by tiny prongs or beads. The stones are set so close together that the metal is barely visible, creating a surface of continuous sparkle.

Question 3

Are pave rings durable and safe for everyday wear?

Accepted Answer

Pave settings are beautiful but require some care — the small prongs can catch on fabric or be damaged by hard impacts. We recommend periodic professional inspections to ensure all stones remain secure.

Question 4

What is the difference between pave and micro-pave settings?

Accepted Answer

Pave and micro-pave both feature small diamonds set closely together, but micro-pave uses even smaller stones and tinier prongs, creating a finer, more delicate look. Micro-pave requires more precise craftsmanship and is typically found on higher-end rings.

Question 5

Can a pave ring be resized?

Accepted Answer

Pave rings can be resized, though it's more complex than resizing a plain band. Best Brilliance includes 2 free resizes per ring within the first year of purchase.
