Pave diamond rings are very small diamonds that adorn the band of a ring to give it the illusion of a solid ring of diamond. Set using minuscule prongs or beads, very little of the band should show through giving the effect that the diamonds themselves are free standing.
When choosing the perfect engagement ring using pave diamonds, you'll want to decide between full pave diamond rings, where the entire band of the ring is encrusted, half pave diamond rings where the band is encrusted only halfway around, or simply look at them all and wait for the right one to show itself.
Pave diamond rings used for an engagement usually feature a single center set stone that is lifted or noticeably separated from the pave band. This is done to ensure that both the band and the larger stone can be admired for their beauty. The center stones are usually put into a bezel-set, prong-set, or basket set, each of which does the job of making sure each part of the ring remains a star.
The cut of the main stone on pave diamond rings can vary greatly. To pick out the perfect ring to ask her to spend her life with you, you will definitely want to already have an idea of what her favorite cut of gem is. If you have discussed marriage before you may already know this; however, if this is a true surprise, you may want to think about asking friends or family what she would love seeing on her hand the best.
The most common cuts include the round brilliant cut, antique cushion cut, oval cut, princess cut, pear cut, and emerald cut. But, there is also the, square cut, octagon cut, baguette, round cabochon, trilliant cut, and briolette. By far, the most popular cut of stone appearing on pave diamond rings is the round brilliant and the antique cushion cut.
While you are determining what cut the center stone should be, you may also consider the gem you will be looking for. Diamonds are always a good choice for a traditional look and the more faceted the diamond the more it will sparkle with all the colors of the rainbow, delighting your intended.
However, when you're wife to be is something of a unique spirit she may very well love a yellow, chocolate, pink, or blue diamond. Or, she may even prefer something altogether different, such as a sapphire, emerald, opal, topaz, amethyst, or something else.
Finding the perfect engagement ring for the woman you want to marry may take you a few months or you may be lucky enough to find a ring that calls to you right away. You will know the minute you see it that this is the ring that you'll offer as a token of your desire to spend your life with her. And, when her gaze settles on that sparkling ring and she hears the words of your heart, you can just about bet the answer is going to be yes.
