Pave Engagement Rings

The Milagros Guide

Pavé and side stone lab grown diamond engagement rings, made to order in New York

Side stone engagement rings have small diamonds set along the band, next to the center stone. A pavé band has rows of tiny diamonds held by small beads of metal, so the band looks covered in sparkle. Other side stone styles use baguettes, channel set stones or larger accent diamonds. These rings add brilliance from every angle.

How to choose a side stone ring

  • 01Pavé or channel

    Pavé uses tiny beads to hold each stone and gives the most sparkle. Channel setting holds stones between two metal walls and looks smooth and sleek.

  • 02How far it goes

    Diamonds can go part way down the band or almost all the way around. Part way is easier to resize later.

  • 03Band width

    A thin pavé band makes the center stone look bigger. A wider band feels bold and strong.

What is a pavé engagement ring?

It is a ring with tiny diamonds set closely along the band, held by small metal beads. "Pavé" means "paved" in French.

Yes. A plain or pavé band sits well next to most side stone rings. Our team can help you choose a matching band.

Can I change the metal or the center stone?
