Pave Band Classic Solitaire
Among the most-loved pieces in our collection is the pavé diamond ring. Elegant and enduring, it’s a brilliant way to celebrate love—crafted to be worn and admired for a lifetime.
What Makes Pavé Diamond Rings So Special?
“Pavé” comes from the French for “paved.” Tiny diamonds (melee) are set closely along the band so the surface appears paved with sparkle—creating a continuous shimmer from every angle. The effect beautifully enhances the centre stone without overwhelming it.
At House of Diamonds, each pavé ring is designed with precision. Every diamond is hand-selected and expertly set for maximum brilliance and a clean, refined look—whether your style leans classic or contemporary.
The Craftsmanship Behind a Pavé Ring
Setting micro diamonds requires meticulous skill. Our setters place and secure each stone with fine beads or micro-prongs to achieve a seamless line of light while maintaining durability for everyday wear. This attention to detail is what makes our pavé band engagement rings feel both luxurious and long-lasting.

FAQ: Pavé Diamond Rings
What’s the difference between pavé and micro-pavé?
Pavé uses small diamonds set closely along the band. Micro-pavé uses even smaller melee and finer bead work, creating a tighter “paved” sparkle with more tiny prongs.
Are pavé rings durable for everyday wear?
Yes—when well made. Because pavé has many small prongs, it benefits from periodic inspections and gentle wear during high-impact activities.
Will a pavé band snag on clothing?
Quality pavé should feel smooth. Micro-pavé can be slightly more textured. Choosing rounded beads and a low profile minimises snags.
Can a pavé ring be resized?
Usually within 1–2 sizes, depending on the design. Full-eternity pavé typically can’t be resized and may require remaking.
How do I clean a pavé diamond ring?
Soak in warm water with mild dish soap, then gently brush under the stones with a soft toothbrush. Rinse and pat dry. Ultrasonic cleaning is fine for most diamonds, but ask us first if your ring has coloured stones.
Does a pavé band make the centre diamond look bigger?
Yes—pavé adds edge-to-edge sparkle that visually amplifies the centre stone without adding bulk.
Natural vs lab-grown diamonds in pavé—any difference?
Visually, no. Both perform beautifully. We hand-match melee for colour and clarity to ensure a seamless look.
Single-row, three-quarter, or full-eternity—what should I choose?
Single-row and three-quarter pavé balance sparkle with easy resizing. Full-eternity maximises brilliance but usually can’t be resized.
