How Much are Micro Pave Diamonds?
The Legacy of Diamond in Jewelry Design
Antique diamond rings, diamond tiaras and dazzling vintage diamond earrings are on the wish lists of every lover of fine jewelry. And diamonds and diamond jewelry are primarily associated with storybook engagements and red-carpet grand entrances — indeed, this ultra-cherished gemstone has a dramatic history on its hands.
From “A Diamond Is Forever” to “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” pop culture has ingrained in our minds that diamonds are the most desired, the most lasting and the most valuable gemstone. But what makes the diamond so special? Each stone — whether it’s rubies, sapphires or another stone — is unique and important in its own right. April babies might claim diamonds for themselves, but just about everyone wants this kind of sparkle in their lives!
There are several factors that set diamonds apart from other stones, and these points are important to our gem education.
Diamonds are minerals. They are made up of almost entirely of carbon (carbon comprises 99.95 percent; the remainder consists of various trace elements). Diamonds are the hardest gemstones, ranking number 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. Even its name, diamond, is rooted in the Greek adamas, or unconquerable. The only object that can scratch a diamond is another diamond. Diamonds are formed deep within the earth at very high temperatures (1,652–2,372 degrees Fahrenheit at depths between 90 and 120 miles beneath the earth’s surface) and are carried up by volcanic activity. Diamonds are quite rare, according to the Gemological Institute of America, and only 30 percent of all the diamonds mined in the world are gem quality.
In the 1950s, the Gemological Institute of America developed the 4Cs grading system to classify diamonds: clarity, color, cut and carat weight. Not all diamonds are created equal (there are diamonds, and then there are diamonds). The value of the diamond depends on the clarity (flawless diamonds are very rare but a diamond's value decreases if there are many blemishes or inclusions), color (the less color the higher the grade), cut (how the diamond’s facets catch the light, certain cuts of diamonds show off the stone better than others) and carat weight (the bigger, the better).
When you start shopping for a diamond engagement ring, always prioritize the cut, which plays the largest role in the diamond's beauty (taking the time to clean your diamond ring at least every six months or so plays a role in maintaining said beauty). And on 1stDibs, a range of buying guides can be found for those in the market for antique engagement rings, vintage engagement rings or Art Deco engagement rings.
Shop antique and vintage diamond rings, diamond necklaces and other extraordinary diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The main difference between pave and micro pave is the size of stone. Pave refers to any size stone that is set within a band whereas micro pave refers to several stones that are uniform in size. Shop a range of pave and micro pave jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is a micro pave band?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021A micro pavé band is a setting in jewelry that is created by using very small diamonds, which are set deep within the shank of a ring (it gives the impression that the whole band is made of diamonds). The carat size of the stones used in the micro pave band is far smaller than the regular pave band. Find antique and vintage diamond jewelry and watches on 1stDibs.
- What is a pave diamond?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Pave diamonds refer to a type of engagement ring setting. A pave setting is one in which the shank of the ring is lined with small diamonds. Diamonds are considered pave set when they are as small as .01-.02 carats.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A micro pavé engagement ring setting is a category of pavé engagement ring setting that contains small diamonds set in the ring's shank. Small diamonds are set in small openings in the ring's band in a pavé setting. Small metal pegs hold these small diamonds in place.
