The emerald and diamond ring is known for its timeless elegance and clean, architectural lines. With its step-cut facets and understated brilliance, it offers a refined look that appeals to those with sophisticated taste. If you're looking to enhance the sparkle without overwhelming the center stone, pavé accents are a perfect solution. At KRK Jewels, master artisans combine the emerald cut’s elegance with thoughtfully placed pavé accents to create engagement rings that radiate brilliance and style.
Pavé Band
A pavé band features small diamonds set closely together along the ring’s shank, creating a continuous line of shimmer. This is one of the most popular ways to add brilliance without distracting from the emerald cut center stone. It complements the shape without competing for attention, making it ideal for someone who wants subtle sparkle with a clean look.
KRK Jewels offers pavé bands in a range of widths, from slim and delicate to bold and luxurious—each handcrafted for perfect balance and shine.
Pavé Halo
A halo of pavé diamonds surrounding the emerald cut center stone can significantly enhance the ring’s sparkle. This setting can make the center diamond appear larger and adds dimension to the overall design. A single pavé halo from KRK Jewels delivers refined radiance, while a double halo creates a dramatic and glamorous look.
For a more understated but artistic approach, consider KRK Jewels’ hidden halo settings—elegant pavé placed just beneath the center stone, adding sparkle visible only from side angles.
Pavé on the Gallery or Prongs
For a touch of brilliance from unexpected angles, pavé diamonds can be added to the gallery (the side profile of the ring) or the prongs securing the center stone. These details add intricacy and elegance without affecting the clean, modern face of the emerald cut.
KRK Jewels specializes in these nuanced touches, ensuring each pavé-set diamond enhances the design’s overall harmony and craftsmanship.
Pavé Accents with Side Stones
A three-stone emerald cut ring can benefit from pavé accents that seamlessly tie the design together. Adding pavé diamonds along the band or between the side stones adds sparkle and enhances the ring’s overall presence.
KRK Jewels often pairs emerald cut centers with tapered baguettes or trapezoids and uses pavé accents to elevate the entire composition, combining symmetry with subtle brilliance.
French Pavé or Micro-Pavé
The technique used to set the pavé diamonds also influences the final look. French pavé settings, which use V-shaped grooves to allow more light through each stone, create high sparkle with clean visibility. Micro-pavé offers a more delicate texture, ideal for intricate designs.
At KRK Jewels, both techniques are used with precision and artistry, depending on the desired visual effect and the client's personal style.
Metal Choice to Maximize Sparkle
The choice of metal plays a key role in how pavé accents shine. White gold and platinum reflect more light, enhancing brilliance, while yellow and rose gold add warmth and vintage appeal.
KRK Jewels offers expert consultations to help clients choose the right metal tone, ensuring that every pavé-set diamond is presented to its fullest advantage.
Final Thoughts
Pavé accents are a sophisticated way to elevate an emerald cut engagement ring, adding brilliance and texture while allowing the center stone to remain the focal point. Whether it’s a pavé band, a halo, or hidden details in the setting, pavé work adds refinement and individuality.
With KRK Jewels, each ring is crafted with care, precision, and artistic integrity. Their commitment to exceptional design and ethically sourced materials ensures that your engagement ring will not only sparkle—it will endure, just like the love it represents.
