Pavé engagement rings feature shimmering diamonds set in lustrous metal. The term 'pavé' derives from the ever-chic French language and is a form of their word for 'paved.' So pavé diamond rings are, in a sense, literally paved with diamonds – the height of luxury! Pavé engagement rings have been popular for centuries. They originated as far back as the 1700's and have been worn and loved ever since. Pavé accents give more traditional solitaires an extra oomph: they maximize sparkle and reflect even more light off the glittering center stone.


A pavé diamond ring can come in various sizes. More delicate pavé engagement rings may feature smaller diamonds that encrust a band in light, while others may feature larger, more show-stopping stones.

Pavé engagement rings are available in 14K and 18K white, yellow, and rose gold as well as platinum. Each metal option provides a different backdrop for the pavé diamond detailing.
Pavé engagement rings are available with round, oval, cushion, pear, marquise, emerald, radiant, asscher, princess, and heart shaped center diamonds. The pavé diamonds along the band remain consistent across each shape option.
Pavé engagement rings are available in widths ranging from under 2mm to over 3mm. A width filter makes it possible to browse rings within a specific range.
Engraving availability depends on the ring's material and design. A Brilliant Earth jewelry specialist can confirm engraving options for a specific pavé setting.

Pavé engagement rings are available with either a natural or lab grown diamond as the center stone.
Center diamond shape, metal color, and band width are all worth considering when choosing a pavé engagement ring. Comparing these details helps narrow down a design that fits individual style and budget.
Pave wedding bands pair well with pave engagement rings for consistent sparkle across both rings. A classic plain band is also a popular option for a more understated contrast.
Pavé engagement rings are available across a range of price points based on metal, center diamond size, and total pavé diamond weight. A price filter is available to browse rings within a specific budget.
Pavé engagement rings can be cleaned at home with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Cleaning around the small pavé diamonds regularly helps maintain their sparkle.
