Origin and evolution of the Pav\u00e9 (setting)<\/h3>\n

The term \"pav\u00e9\" comes from the French word for \"street paving\", as the stones are laid in a similar way to cobblestones. This technique first appeared in the 19th century and has grown in popularity over the decades, particularly in the jewellery houses<\/strong> and major brands of luxury jewellery<\/strong>. Artisan jewellers have perfected this method to meet the growing demand for sparkling, elegant jewellery.<\/p>\n

The different types of pav\u00e9 (setting)<\/h3>\n

There are several variants of the paving stone (crimping), each offering a distinct aesthetic and technique:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Classic paving stone<\/strong> The stones are set in holes drilled in the metal and held in place by small claws.<\/li>\n
  • Micro-pav\u00e9<\/strong> Using extremely small stones, often less than 1 mm in diameter, for an even finer, more delicate effect.<\/li>\n
  • Grain pav\u00e9<\/strong> The stones are held in place by tiny grains of metal, creating a highly homogenous visual effect.<\/li>\n
  • Pav\u00e9 in closed setting<\/strong> Each stone is surrounded by a metal circle, offering greater security and a different look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
