Platinum Pave Engagement Rings

Small diamonds, each held by tiny beads of metal, line the band in platinum pavé engagement rings, and the PT950 beneath them is white all the way through and never plated. It is 95.2 percent platinum and nickel-free. Your lab grown diamond, graded by IGI or GIA, is chosen in the stone picker, and the setting is made to order around it.

FAQs

Yes, platinum suits a pavé band engagement ring particularly well because its naturally white finish creates a unifying backdrop behind the many small accent stones. The result is a visually connected look that reads as a continuous line of sparkle. The density and durability of platinum also make the settings for the small pavé stones stronger.

While they are visually similar, white gold gets its luminous white sheen from rhodium plating, and it needs to be periodically replated to maintain its color. Platinum’s white finish is naturally occurring and does not require plating. Because pavé settings contain numerous small stones in delicate prong settings, either metal should be occasionally inspected to identify loose diamonds or worn settings.

Platinum is the ideal choice if you want your engagement to have a refined white backdrop that brings the closely-set pavé stones together into a unified field of brilliance. Its density and durability also make it well-suited to a ring style that requires strong settings for multiple small stones.

Everyday contact gradually softens platinum’s surface as it accumulates tiny scratches over time. The effect is most noticeable along the underside of a pavé band and parts of the setting that regularly brush up against other surfaces. While some ring wearers prefer to let platinum age naturally and develop a softened patina over time, professional polishing can restore the ring’s original shine.

A plain platinum wedding band is an elegant and understated choice that echoes the metal color of the engagement ring without distracting the eye from the close-set pavé stones and the center diamond. A narrow, diamond-set band can also create a unified look with additional sparkle. A straight wedding band sits flush with every Clairamor pavé band design.
