Pavé wedding bands
A pave wedding band sets many small diamonds close together, each one held by tiny beads of metal, so the top of the band reads as one continuous strip of sparkle. In jewelry catalogs it is written pavé, from the French for paved. Some bands carry a single row of stones and some carry two, and the stones can run halfway around the finger or all the way around.
Pavé sparkles because so many facets face the light at once. The stones are small, so the band looks delicate even when most of the metal is covered. The beads can catch on knit fabric and hair now and then, which is worth knowing if you wear your ring while you work with your hands.
If you want stones set evenly around the whole finger, look at our eternity bands. To see how pavé compares with other band styles, read our guide to types of wedding rings.
Channel-set and prong-set bands
In a channel setting, the diamonds sit side by side in a groove, held between two walls of metal. Nothing sticks up, so the band is smooth against the skin and does not snag. Prong settings work the other way. Small metal claws hold each stone, more of every diamond shows, and the band throws more light. Cleaning, inspection and prong tightening are free in our store.
A diamond wedding band comes with natural diamonds or lab-grown diamonds. Both are diamonds, so the choice comes down to budget and preference. Not every design comes in both, so use the stone type filter on this page to see which do. Our baguette wedding bands are another way to set stones in a straight, clean line.
Width, comfort and metal matter as much as the stones, because each one changes how a band feels on your hand from day to day. Our guide on how to choose a wedding band walks through each one.
