PROS AND CONS OF A PAVÉ SETTING

PROS AND CONS OF A PAVÉ SETTING

When choosing a setting design, consider the style of the wearer but also the level of maintenance required. Review the pros and cons of a pavé setting before making a final decision.

Pros

• Brings attention to the center stone

• Adds to the ring’s overall brilliance and beauty

• Offers extra sparkle to a lower-set or less sparkly center stone

• Designs are available in a modern or vintage style

Cons

• Sizing and resizing can be difficult if the ring is pavé set around the full band

• Although highly unlikely, there is minimal risk of losing side stones

We recommend determining his or her ring size early in the design process to prevent resizing issues.
