Does pavé make a diamond look smaller?

1 Answer
Does pavé make a diamond look smaller?
Whether pavé makes a diamond look smaller depends on the piece. Pavé means paved, like a cobblestone road or pathway, because it features a band of diamonds leading up to the primary gemstone. The setting can often create the illusion of a larger diamond because of the added sparkle. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of diamond jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
