Cathedral Solitaire with Pave
Among the most-loved designs is the cathedral solitaire with pavé band. Elegant and architectural, arched shoulders rise to cradle the centre diamond, while pavé-set diamonds along the band add continuous brilliance—combining structure, sparkle, and timeless balance.
What Makes Cathedral Solitaire With Pavé Bands So Special?
A cathedral solitaire features graceful arches that lift the head above the band, much like the soaring lines of a cathedral. This refined silhouette enhances light return and frames the diamond beautifully. Adding a pavé band introduces extra shimmer across the finger without distracting from the centre stone.
At House of Diamonds, proportions are key—arch height, prong style, and pavé setting are balanced for comfort, security, and everyday wearability.
The Craftsmanship Behind a Cathedral Solitaire
Smooth, even arches that flow seamlessly into the head, secure prongs, and finely set pavé stones are essential. We tailor head height for lifestyle, ensuring the solitaire feels stable and pairs harmoniously with a wedding band while pavé adds a luxurious finishing touch.

FAQ: Cathedral Solitaire With Pavé Bands
What is a cathedral solitaire with pavé band?
Arched shoulders rise from the band to support the diamond, while pavé-set stones along the band add refined sparkle.
Low cathedral vs high cathedral—what’s the difference?
Low cathedral sits closer to the finger for comfort and band pairing; high cathedral provides more lift and a dramatic side view.
Will a cathedral solitaire sit flush with a wedding band?
Often yes, depending on head and arch height. Some designs may suit a contoured band—we’ll guide you based on your style.
4-prong or 6-prong for cathedral solitaire?
4-prong shows more diamond; 6-prong adds security and a rounder outline. Both are durable with precise craftsmanship.
Is a pavé cathedral solitaire practical for daily wear?
Yes—when pavé stones are securely set and arches are proportioned for balance. Routine checks ensure long-lasting durability.
Can a pavé cathedral solitaire be resized?
Generally within 1–2 sizes. Full-eternity pavé bands are more limited, while half-eternity and plain bands are more flexible.
How do I clean a pavé cathedral ring?
Soak in warm soapy water, gently brush around the pavé and arches, rinse, and pat dry. Ultrasonic cleaning is safe for most diamonds.
Which metal works best?
Platinum for maximum strength, 18K white gold for a bright finish, or yellow/rose gold for warm contrast that highlights the diamond.
