Pave Set Wedding Rings for Affordable Bling

Pave set wedding rings are becoming increasingly popular. Wedding rings set with pave diamonds look fantastic worn solo and can also make the perfect accompaniment to many engagement rings.

What is a pave setting? Pave set wedding rings are those that tend to look like they are covered, or encrusted, in diamonds. The stones are held in pace with tiny bead settings, which if they are of a white metal tend to blend in with the sparkles. A pave wedding band can consist of one row of diamonds or multiple rows, depending upon the width of the wedding band.

The diamonds in a pave set wedding band can all be identical in size, or can be set around a bigger center stone.

Pave wedding rings can have diamonds set the entire way around the band, as in an eternity style ring, or they can just run over the top and along the sides. The more diamonds the wedding ring contains, the more the ring will cost.

Smaller diamonds will make for a more cost effective wedding ring, and many brides prefer this look as it can be more delicate and sparkling than a setting with bigger stones that are easier to see as individual stones. Tiny diamond chips used in this manner are often referred to as micro-pave settings.

While white diamonds look fabulous with platinum, palladium, or white gold, pink pave set diamonds can look equally as fabulous in rose gold. It goes without saying that a pave setting involving the currently popular yellow diamonds will look sensational set in yellow gold.

Wedding rings utilizing pave settings need not just be a simple wedding band. Pave settings can also be used on curved wedding rings and intertwined bands. For even more effect the pave set diamonds can also be set along the edges of the wedding ring, but this style is probably more appropriate for a stand alone wedding ring. Those who want to stack their pave rings can select a style with a smooth edge to minimize rubbing between the rings.

Pave set wedding rings can be an affordable option for those looking to have a lot of sparkle or bling in their wedding ring. The number and size of the diamonds used in the wedding ring will impact significantly on the final price.
