Pave Diamond Stud Earrings

pave diamonds (pronounced pah-vay), are known for their incredible sparkly appearance and intricate designs. The French word pave means “paved”—pave settings mimic a paved cobblestone road, but instead of rocks, pave diamond jewelry is encrusted in diamonds. Diamonds in pave settings cover most of the jewelry’s metal, making it look like it’s packed with diamonds.

The history of pave settings dates back centuries, even as far as the Middle Ages. The first notable diamond pave earring designs come from the Georgian era (the 1700s), which often featured other gemstones in extravagant designs. To create pave settings, the craftsman carves a series of tiny holes into the metal using a special tool. Next, the artist inserts a diamond into one of the holes and then uses a tool to push up little prongs around the gem to secure it in place. The technique can differ depending on the style of the diamond earring.

A more modern type of pave diamond setting is called the micro pave setting. Micro pave requires the use of a microscope to set the diamonds as closely together as possible, producing a dazzling effect. Many micro pave settings put the diamonds directly into the prongs, rather than having to craft the prongs around the diamonds. This produces some of the most intricate diamond jewelry designs and patterns.

Choosing Tips

1. Figure out what size and shape earrings to get. Do you want big pave diamond earrings or smaller huggie hoops paved in diamonds?

For more information, check out our guide to diamond earring sizes in our jewelry education section.
2. Decide on your metal type, purity, and color. First, decide on what color metal to get. Do you like the classic look of yellow gold, the modern-classic white gold, or unique rose gold pave diamond earrings? Consider how the different metals will look with the diamond colors. If you have multicolor diamonds, feel free to play around—you can test out how the different gold colors will look on our website photos. Sterling silver is a good, affordable silver-tone metal if you want to save money, but it requires more upkeep to prevent tarnishing. If you have metal allergies and are looking for hypoallergenic diamond earrings, opt for 18K yellow gold or white gold (white gold is coated in rhodium, a pure hypoallergenic metal).
3. Find a style. Do you want a traditional pair of diamond pave earrings, or do you want to make a bolder statement with a more unique and innovative diamond earring design? Maybe you want a masculine pair of black diamond pave studs with a geometric look, or a pretty set of flower stud earrings paved in diamonds.
