Short answer: A pavé band is set with rows of small stones held by tiny beads or prongs, so the surface looks "paved" with sparkle. It gives maximum shine for the budget and pairs beautifully with any engagement ring. The trade-off: tiny stones can loosen over years, so have the band checked during routine cleanings.
Pavé Styles Compared
| Style | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Classic pavé | One row of small stones | Everyday sparkle |
| Micro pavé | Very small stones, fine metal beads | Delicate, dainty look |
| Full pavé eternity | Stones all the way around | Maximum sparkle |
Care Tips
Clean pavé bands with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, since lotion and soap can dull the small stones. Avoid harsh knocks, and ask a jeweler to check the settings about once a year. Full pavé eternity bands usually cannot be resized, so get your size right first.
At Ivevar, pavé wedding bands start at $335 in 925 sterling silver and come in 10K, 14K and 18K gold (prices at the time of writing).
