Pavé is a watch term that refers to a type of setting for diamonds, gemstones, and other precious stones. The setting involves tiny stones that are placed closely together in a pattern and held in place by small metal beads or “beads of rice,” giving the stones a sparkle and glimmer that appears to be continuous. This setting can be used to create a variety of looks and styles, from delicate and subtle to bold and flashy. Pavé is an incredibly popular style of diamond setting, and can be found on many different types of jewelry, especially watches.
