Pavé engagement bands add an extra touch of glamour to a classic engagement ring. If your dream ring displays radiance and sparkle, choose one of Shane Co.’s beautiful pavé engagement rings.

Pavé is a French word that literally means “to pave.” Pavé engagement rings are aptly titled, as the ring is paved with diamonds. Diamonds are embedded into the ring’s band to maximize glimmer and shine. The gems are held in place by small beads in the ring’s metal. This creates a continuous twinkle all the way around the band, meaning more sparkle and more brilliance.

Pavé engagement rings are one of the most stunning ring designs available and have become a popular option for modern couples. If you’re looking for a ring that captivates, consider a pavé setting engagement ring.

While both styles use accent stones to enhance the brilliance of a ring, pavé engagement rings and channel-set engagement rings are different. Channel engagement rings feature a row of stones placed in a channel between two bands of metal. This tight channel keeps the gems in place. In contrast, the pavé setting uses small beads in the metal for secure placement.

If you’re interested in comparing the two styles, browse our collection of channel-set engagement rings. If you like the idea of accent gemstones but want a more traditional ring, consider a cathedral setting engagement ring.
