Sizing Up Pave Engagement Rings

Pave Victorian Engagement Ring Mounting

When discussing engagement rings, we all think about the diamond; how big, what cut and which clarity. Of course, this discussion usually focuses on the center stone, it’s important to consider the mounting or setting, too. Ring mountings provide the “red carpet” or stage for your center stone. Pave engagement ring mountings provide an exceptional way to heighten the beauty of your diamond engagement ring.

Pave engagement ring mountings feature numerous tightly packed diamonds, and each one mounted individually. The numerous tiny stones create a surface that appears to be solid diamond; what better way to show off your center stone that with a bed of smaller pave and micro-pave diamonds!

The small diamonds that make up a pave engagement ring can come in different sizes and shapes. Pave diamonds are round, but can also be baguette or pear shaped; these diamonds have diameter of 2mm or more. Micro-pave diamonds on the other hand are smaller (0.6 – 1.5mm diameter) and are most often round.
