Pavé is a french word that means "to pave"—and pavé jewelry is literally paved in diamonds! Strong metal prongs placed methodically along the surface of the piece hold small diamonds in place, creating an effect of continuous sparkle. Pavé is often placed along the band of a ring, or around a center gemstone to create a halo—making the stone look larger.
