What is pave diamond?

Pave diamond is a setting technique where small diamonds are set closely together in a group, creating the illusion of a solid surface of diamonds. This setting method gives the appearance of a continuous sparkle and enhances the brilliance of the diamonds. Pave diamonds are typically set in a pattern or in a row, either on the band of a ring, the face of a watch, or any other piece of jewelry. The term "pave" comes from the French word for "paved," as the diamonds are set so closely together that they cover the surface like a paved road. Pave diamond settings are popular in engagement rings, wedding bands, earrings, and bracelets, as they add a touch of glamour and luxury to any piece of jewelry. Pave diamonds can vary in size and shape, and are often used in combination with larger center stones for added sparkle and dimension.
