Diamond settings are the platform on which the diamond or diamonds sit. With the large variety of settings available it is important that you take time to look at the various designs on offer at the Diamond Store before making a final decision. As settings are designed for a particular shape of stone you need to be sure that the one you choose displays and shows off the stones to their full potential. If you want a band covered with diamonds the pave setting is a good one for you.
When the surface of the ring is covered with tiny diamonds then this technique is called Pavé which originates from the French word for paved. It is a very appropriate name because the surface of the diamonds resembles a street paved with cobblestones. The stones are secured by the diamonds being placed in small holes that have been drilled out of the ring shank. If the band does not taper at the top each diamond should be exactly the same size. If some areas of the ring taper to a point then the diamonds should diminish in size as the Pavé settings narrow and this requires very precise selection of diamonds. The diamonds are set in rows so that they fill as much of the surface area as possible without actually touching. The more precisely the diamonds are cut then the better the final appearance of the ring will be.
Every diamond weighs just a few points and is fully cut with 58 facets. Though they are small in size every stone contributes to the overall shimmer and brilliance of the design. After the diamond is positioned in its hole tiny bits of metal from the surface of the band are pushed over the edge forming tiny beads which hold the stone securely in place. Pavé is a very demanding and precise technique and is excellent if you wear your diamond ring all the time and do a lot of work with your hands as it is a very secure setting.
The pave set diamond rings at the Diamond Store are easy to evaluate as you can clearly see from the overall designs that the diamonds are laid out in such a way that the entire surface of the ring looks like a glittering carpet. That is the best way to check that a ring is designed and made well.
All of the above elements add to the time needed to make a pave ring. Because time is money, the value of a Pavé ring is not always as obvious as one set with a solitaire, but now that you appreciate the work needed to produce these rings you will be very pleasantly surprised at some of the great offers at the Diamond Store.
