This setting style lends a romantic allure to jewellery by creating a dazzling effect that conceals much of the metal beneath a blanket of diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Derived from the French word \u201cpav\u00e9,\u201d meaning \u201cto pave,\u201d this technique involves securing small diamonds in place with tiny metal beads. The result is a glowing pathway of diamonds that draws attention to the centre stone. The diamonds are set so closely together that the metal beneath them becomes almost invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e4e4e4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e4e4e4;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/timcodiamonds.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pave.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ast-global-color-3-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-416769b41b826a8ddacdba8ad72e570f\">Types of Pav\u00e9 Setting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Micro Pav\u00e9:<\/strong> This setting is used when accent diamonds are placed very close together to cover an entire band or create an all-over surface effect. It emphasises the diamonds while minimising the visibility of the metal. Often, this style can accommodate at least 50 tiny diamonds. Achieving this look requires a high level of precision and expertise from the jeweller.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Petite Pav\u00e9: <\/strong>Similar to the classic pav\u00e9 setting, the petite pav\u00e9 features diamonds placed closely together but held by extremely small prongs. This technique enhances the diamonds&#8217; brilliance, making them appear even more prominent and radiant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>French Pav\u00e9:<\/strong> Also known as fishtail pav\u00e9, this style features intricate V-shaped metalwork on the front that resembles the tail of a fish. This design allows more light to reach the stones, revealing less metal on the surface. The French pav\u00e9 is particularly distinctive due to its fascinating texture and detailed craftsmanship.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>U-Cut Pav\u00e9:<\/strong> The most common of pav\u00e9 settings, the U-cut pav\u00e9 gets its name from the U-shaped cutouts carved into the metal. Diamonds are set into these cutouts, creating a wavy or scalloped pattern. This style favours a higher diamond-to-metal ratio, which enhances light reflection and brilliance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bright Cut Pav\u00e9: <\/strong>Bright cut pav\u00e9, often referred to as channel-set pav\u00e9, is a traditional setting ideal for accent stones that require extra durability. This style secures diamonds between two metal walls, which slightly reduces their sparkle due to a higher metal-to-diamond ratio. However, it offers greater protection and stability for the stones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re captivated by sparkle and want your jewellery to truly &#8220;shine bright like a diamond,&#8221; a pav\u00e9 setting is the perfect choice. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":56,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diamonds","category-timco"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timcodiamonds.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timcodiamonds.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timcodiamonds.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timcodiamonds.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timcodiamonds.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/timcodiamonds.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timcodiamonds.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timcodiamonds.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timcodiamonds.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timcodiamonds.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
