French Pave Diamond Wowomen Eternity Band

Pave diamond wedding bands are the most popular by far, accounting for roughly 60% of diamond band purchases at LWB. The combination of maximum sparkle, delicate appearance, and wide price range make pave the default choice for most brides. Half-eternity pave in 14K white gold is the single bestselling SKU in our women's collection.

In pave, diamonds sit on top of the band surface held by tiny prongs or beads — they're highly visible and create a sparkling cobblestone effect. In channel setting, diamonds sit within a groove cut into the band, fully recessed with no prongs. Channel bands are smoother, more snag-resistant, and more durable for active lifestyles. Pave creates more visible sparkle.

 Yes. LWB offers lab-grown diamond options across our full band collection. Lab diamonds are chemically, optically, and physically identical to mined diamonds and are graded by the same standards (GIA, IGI). They typically cost 40–60% less than equivalent mined diamonds, allowing you to get significantly more diamond for the same budget.

 A standard 14-round-diamond half-eternity pave band in 3mm width typically contains 14–20 diamonds totaling 0.15–0.35 carats. A full-eternity pave band in the same width contains 22–28 diamonds totaling 0.25–0.50 carats. The exact count depends on diamond size and spacing.

 Diamonds cannot scratch other diamonds (unless a loose stone impacts another at exactly the right angle), and gold cannot scratch platinum. However, if your engagement ring has a softer setting style and your band has raised pave diamonds, the stones may catch. For daily stacking, choose a band whose profile sits flat or lower than your engagement ring's setting.

 For subtle sparkle as a companion to an engagement ring, 0.15–0.30 ctw is the right range. For a statement diamond band worn alone or as a primary ring, 0.50–1.00 ctw or more creates significant presence. LWB bands are listed with their exact total carat weight so you can compare accurately.

Yes. We offer a trade-up program where you can apply the full original purchase price toward a higher-value band within two years of purchase. Many clients start with a simple pave band and upgrade to a full eternity for a significant anniversary.

Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 15–20 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for micro-pave bands as vibration can loosen small stones over time. Have prongs professionally checked once a year.
