01
What Is a Pave Engagement Ring?
This design choice is where beauty and engineering meet. Consider how the setting holds the stone, how much of the diamond is visible, whether the profile suits daily wear, and how the detail will age. A refined setting should protect the stone while still letting the design feel light, intentional, and personal.

What Wedding Bands Go With Pave?
Think about the wedding band before the engagement ring is final. Height, basket shape, claw position, and band width all affect whether a straight band can sit flush or whether a curved, open, or bespoke band will be more elegant. Planning the set early keeps the final stack comfortable and considered.
