Paved or unpaved ring: what does it mean?<\/span><\/p>

A pav\u00e9 ring is set with multiple small diamonds<\/a> 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 pav\u00e9 technique maximises the luminosity of the jewel by catching the light from all angles.<\/p>

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

Why choose a pav\u00e9 ring?<\/h3>

A pav\u00e9 ring captivates with its exceptional brilliance and luxurious look. The small stones add a touch of refinement and enhance the design of the jewel.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

Why opt for an unpaved ring<\/h3>

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 pav\u00e9 model.<\/p>

On the other hand, it will be less shiny and have a more discreet style.<\/p>
