Top 8 Stunning Moissanite Pave Rings & Bands You’ll Love

In this guide, we will explore diverse moissanite pave ring and band designs, highlighting top 8 techniques to elevate your jewelry collection.

1. Introduction

The term pave is French for 'pavé', describing the appearance of the stones. This technique involves setting small diamonds closely together to create the illusion of a continuous sparkle.

Meanwhile, moissanite rings, which are well-known for their durability, ethical appeal and stunning sparkle, have become an increasingly sought-after alternative to traditional diamonds, especially in recent weddings.

In this guide, we will explore diverse moissanite pave ring and band designs, highlighting top 10 techniques to elevate your jewelry collection.

2. Why choose a pave ring & band?

2.1. Stunning appearance

The reason to go for a pave setting comes down to two words: more sparkle. By placing more gems, the ring multiplies the reflection of light to increase the overall brilliance of the entire ring.

Pave moissanite on the shank of a ring - the band that sits against your finger - can create the illusion of a larger center stone. Moissanite pave rings also enhance the beauty of the center stone, capturing light from every angle to make it shine even more.

2.2. Exceptional craftsmanship

Craftsmanship plays a key role in creating a pave setting, especially for engagement rings.

Skilled artisans carefully match and securely set the small gemstones to prevent them from loosening or falling out. Poor craftsmanship, however, can lead to loose stones or snags.

Additionally, if the band is covered extensively with pave-set stones, resizing the ring could be very difficult or even impossible. This is especially important to consider if you are planning on pairing your engagement ring with a full eternity band as your wedding ring.

2.3. Versatile design

With the widespread appeal of pave, channel, and halo settings, there will consistently be a need for these small diamond fragments, though the demand will naturally not match that of stunning center stones, especially those weighing over one carat.

2.4. Affordable luxury

Due to the small diamond line, the centerpiece of the ring looks larger. This is a clever trick to make your ring look grander without a hefty price tag.

4. How to choose the right moissanite pave ring

Selecting the perfect moissanite pave ring involves considering several key elements to match your personal style.

• Band style: A full moissanite pave band maximizes sparkle with diamonds encircling the entire band, while a half pave offers a more subtle shimmer with diamonds focused on the top half. Moissanite micro pave band uses tiny diamonds for a delicate, continuous line of brilliance.
• Stone size: The center moissanite's size should complement your finger and desired prominence. Larger stones make a bold statement, while smaller ones offer understated elegance.
• Metal choice: You should consider durability, color and overall look. White gold offers a classic, contemporary feel, yellow gold provides warmth, rose gold adds a romantic touch, and platinum offers a bright white, highly durable option.

Moissanite pave rings are beautiful, ornate and require a good amount of care. They stay in great condition with careful wear, avoiding rough activities that could loosen a stone.
