“Pavé” is an elegant French word for something very literal—it simply means that gemstones are “paved” onto a surface. The French pronunciation sounds much nicer that the English, although a jeweler would work the surface not unlike a bricklayer, setting precious stones in small, pre-made cavities until the entire surface was covered. In this Edwardian cocktail ring, the pavé style of setting makes for an incredible visual effect with tiny rose cut diamonds twinkling between luminous seed pearls.
