THE PAVÉ WAY

Ever wonder what does pavé mean? Originally from the french word "paving," this is a technique in which small diamonds are carefully set in an intricate pattern. The diamonds are carefully cut and placed to create a surface fully covered in sparkling stones. The result is mesmerizing pieces of jewelry that require a high level of craftsmanship to ensure their quality and beauty.

Unlike their diamond-studded counterparts, pavé (and micro pavé) diamonds are small enough that they can be worn on any occasion and look great. That's why these pieces are both classics and contemporary essentials. And thanks to the unique pavé setting, you're able to get high shine from smaller carat diamonds - making them a fantastically affordable choice for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

GET THE LOOK

To get that subtly luxurious look, you want to mix and match your Pavé with other pieces from your collection. As with all diamond jewelry, pairing your pavé piece with complementary colored gems or metals will help highlight what these pieces do best - shine! Use simple gold and silver jewelry as a base, and let the diamonds add that alluring sparkle. Think of what you're already wearing and go for solid color and monochrome pieces to help highlight those beautiful gems. For example, you can combine the Alice Pavé Diamond Earrings with a gold name necklace and a t-shirt for a great everyday outfit.

If you prefer the full effect, combine two or more pavé pieces for that ultimate glow. Layer the delicate Inez Initial Necklace with the Juno Pavé Diamond Necklace for a business-casual look, or go for timeless silver with the Fiona Diamond Hoop earrings, a Keeya Pavé Diamond Pendant Necklace and a classic dress for your next night out.

KEEPING THE SHINE

Despite the delicate setting, Pavé jewelry is pretty low-maintenance. Just make sure to avoid contact with harsh chemicals, lotions, and perfumes, and leave them off when your shower. If you feel they need some extra TLC, soak them in warm water and mild dish soap, rinse well and gently wipe them clean with a soft cloth.

Accessories in pavé are statement pieces you can wear anytime and anywhere. Whether you go for gold or silver, they're the definition of timeless. So what are you waiting for? Add a little sparkle to your life today!
