What Is a Pavé Setting
Pavé comes from the French word for paved. Small diamonds are set into the band in tiny beads or prongs of gold, spaced so tightly that almost no metal shows between them. The result is a band that glitters from every angle while keeping the focus on the centre diamond.
Pavé is a detail rather than a silhouette, which makes it remarkably versatile. It appears on solitaires, hidden halos, vintage designs, and wedding bands alike, and pairs with every diamond shape from round brilliant to pear.

Why Couples Choose Pavé
- Continuous sparkle. The band catches light with every movement of the hand, not just the centre stone
- A larger overall impression. The added brilliance makes the whole ring read as more substantial without increasing the centre stone budget
- Elegant proportions. Pavé stones are small, so the band stays slim and comfortable for everyday wear
- Easy pairing. A pavé engagement ring stacks naturally with a matching pavé wedding band for a coordinated bridal set
Because lab grown diamonds cost meaningfully less than mined stones, adding pavé to a Trellis ring is an affordable upgrade rather than a luxury surcharge.
Pavé Styles in the Trellis Collection
Our engagement ring collection includes pavé across several distinct silhouettes, each available in 18K white, yellow, or rose gold.
Classic Pavé Solitaire
The Trellis Pave sets a round brilliant centre stone above a fully pavé band. It is the definitive version of the style: one statement diamond, one river of light beneath it.
Pavé with a Hidden Halo
Our Luxe series combines a pavé band with a halo tucked beneath the centre stone. From above it reads as a refined solitaire; from the side, an extra ring of diamonds appears. Available with round brilliant, oval, and radiant centre stones.
Vintage and Sculptural Pavé
The Trellis Vintage frames its pavé in milgrain inspired detailing for an heirloom feel, while the Swirl Engagement Band wraps pavé around the centre stone in a fluid, asymmetric curve. Both suit partners who want something recognisably different.
Comparing Band Setting Styles
| Band style | Appearance | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Full pavé | Diamonds around the entire band | Maximum brilliance, occasional resizing limits |
| Half pavé | Diamonds across the top half only | Everyday practicality with visible sparkle |
| Channel set | Stones recessed between two metal walls | Active lifestyles needing a smooth profile |
| Plain band | Polished gold, no side stones | Total focus on the centre diamond |
Certified Stones, Crafted in Hong Kong
Every Trellis pavé ring carries a centre stone with IGI certification, and the pavé stones are matched for colour and clarity so the band sparkles evenly under any light. Lab grown diamonds are chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds, so the brilliance you see in the showroom is exactly what you get for decades of wear.
If you have a design in mind that the collection does not cover, our bespoke jewellery service can build it from scratch: a double row of pavé, a two tone band, or pavé wrapped around a fancy cut centre stone. Bespoke pieces typically take around three weeks from finalised design to finished ring.
Ordering and Viewing
All pavé rings can be ordered online with payment by credit card, Alipay, bank deposit, or cash on delivery, with delivery and in store pick up both available. To try designs in person, book an appointment at our Tsim Sha Tsui showroom, where an advisor will walk you through settings, stone sizes, and pairing options for your future wedding band.
FAQs About Pave Diamond Engagement Rings
Well made pavé is secure for daily wear, and each stone in a Trellis ring is individually set and checked before delivery. As with any fine jewellery, avoid hard knocks and have the setting inspected during periodic maintenance to keep every stone tight.

Choose half pavé if the ring will be worn during sport, gym sessions, or hands on work, since the solid underside resists wear and simplifies resizing. Choose full pavé if uninterrupted sparkle matters more than practical flexibility.

Yes. Pavé complements round, oval, pear, radiant, emerald, and heart shaped centre stones equally well. The slim glittering band tends to make elongated shapes such as ovals and pears look even longer and more graceful.

Yes. Every diamond on a Trellis ring, from the centre stone to the smallest pavé accent, is lab grown, and the accents are matched so the band shows consistent colour and brightness across its full length.
