Collection: Men's Pavé/Cluster Setting Ring

Pavé features small diamonds set closely together with small metal beads holding them, creating a continuous paved surface of sparkle. Cluster settings group diamonds in deliberate arrangements or patterns, creating texture and dimension. Both offer substantial sparkle without a single large center stone.

Yes, when expertly crafted. Men's pavé rings use reinforced settings, wider bands for stability, and secure micro-prongs designed to withstand daily wear. However, they require more care than plain bands- avoid extreme impact and have settings inspected annually to ensure all diamonds remain secure.

Not with quality craftsmanship and proper maintenance. Our pavé settings use proven techniques designed for longevity. We recommend annual professional inspections (which we provide for life) to check each diamond and tighten any that may have loosened. Proper care ensures your ring lasts generations.

Both feature multiple diamonds, but pavé uses smaller diamonds (typically 0.01-0.03 carats each) set very close together, creating a textured, almost solid-diamond appearance. Diamond bands often use larger, more visible individual diamonds. Pavé offers maximum sparkle and coverage with luxurious detail.

That depends on your personal style and comfort level. Pavé and cluster rings definitely make statements- they're designed to be noticed. However, many men wear them confidently as wedding bands, signature pieces, or expressions of success. If bold jewelry suits your personality, they're perfect for daily wear.

Men's pavé rings typically range from 6-10 mm wide. Wider bands (8 mm+) provide more surface area for diamonds and create substantial presence. Medium widths (6-7 mm) offer sparkle with more subtlety. Consider your hand size and how much visual impact you want.

Absolutely. You can have pavé diamonds covering the entire exterior, just the top half, a single row, or multiple rows. Cluster arrangements can be concentrated on top or distributed around the band. We'll customize the coverage to match your aesthetic and budget.

It varies based on band width and coverage. A 6 mm band with single-row pavé might have 30-50 diamonds. Full-coverage 8 mm bands can feature 100-200+ small diamonds. Each diamond is individually set by hand, creating remarkable collective brilliance.

14k gold is generally better for men's pavé rings. It's more durable and holds the tiny prongs securing each diamond more securely over time. 18k gold is softer and may require more frequent maintenance. For rings with intricate settings, durability is paramount.

Resizing pavé rings is more complex than plain bands and may be impossible if diamonds encircle the entire ring. Rings with pavé only on top can often be resized up to one size. We recommend choosing the correct size initially or discussing design modifications that allow for future adjustments.

Use warm water, mild soap, and a very soft brush, gently cleaning between the diamonds where dirt accumulates. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners unless we recommend them for your specific piece. Bring it in for professional cleaning every 6 months- we provide this service for life.

Pavé and cluster rings require more maintenance than simple bands. Plan for professional cleaning every 6 months and annual inspections to check all settings. With proper care, they'll last indefinitely. We provide lifetime inspection and tightening services to ensure every diamond stays secure.

Yes. For cluster settings especially, we can create custom patterns- geometric arrangements, scattered placement, concentrated sections, or branded motifs. Pavé can vary in density and coverage area. Work with our designers to create a pattern that's uniquely yours.

Definitely. Many men choose pavé or cluster rings as wedding bands for their distinction and significance. They're more celebratory than plain bands while still being masculine and wearable. Just ensure you're comfortable with their maintenance requirements and visual impact.

We offer returns and exchanges within 14 days on non-custom pieces. Custom pavé and cluster rings are final sale due to the extensive hand-setting work involved, but we collaborate closely with you on design, sizing, and diamond coverage before creation to ensure the ring exceeds your expectations.
