Paved or unpaved ring: how to choose?

By

The choice of a ring is an important decision, whether it's for everyday jewellery or a precious piece for a special occasion. Among the many options available, one question often arises: should you opt for a pavé or non-pavé ring? Each of these options has its strengths, and the choice will depend on your taste, lifestyle and budget.

Paved or unpaved ring: what does it mean?

A pavé ring is set with multiple small diamonds or precious stones on all or part of the ring. This effect creates intense brilliance and incomparable sparkle, highlighting the central stone if there is one. The pavé technique maximises the luminosity of the jewel by catching the light from all angles.

An unpaved ring, on the other hand, is characterised by a more refined design, featuring simplicity or a central stone with no additional ornamentation.

Why choose a pavé ring?

A pavé ring captivates with its exceptional brilliance and luxurious look. The small stones add a touch of refinement and enhance the design of the jewel.

However, this type of ring requires rigorous maintenance to prevent the stones from loosening. It is also more fragile to shocks and can be more expensive because of the meticulous work required.

Why opt for an unpaved ring

An unpaved ring offers timeless elegance with a sober, refined look. It is more resistant to everyday wear and tear, as there is no paving to damage it. It is easier to care for, and often more affordable than a pavé model.

On the other hand, it will be less shiny and have a more discreet style.

How do you choose?

The choice between a paved and an unpaved ring depends on a number of criteria:

  • Your personal style Do you like sparkling, sophisticated jewellery or do you prefer sleek designs?
  • Your lifestyle A pavé ring is more delicate, while an unpaved model is better suited to everyday use.
  • Your budget Paving involves more stones and a more meticulous setting, which can affect the price.
  • The opportunity An engagement ring can be more ornate, while a wedding ring or everyday jewellery can be simpler.

Paved or unpaved rings, each model has its own charm and elegance. The most important thing is to choose a piece of jewellery that suits you and your lifestyle. A ring well-chosen will remain a timeless symbol of refinement and emotion, whether it shines with a thousand lights or is elegantly simple.
