The French pavé setting creates a scalloped edge along the band, exposing more of each diamond to the light. It’s a small detail, but it means the ring doesn't just sparkle from the top—it sparkles from the side, too.
This is a 3mm wide band made from solid, polished gold. A row of thirteen round brilliant diamonds runs across the top half of the ring. They're held in a French pavé setting, where small, V-shaped cuts into the band itself form the prongs. This creates a distinctive, almost serrated silhouette when you view the ring from the side. The inside of the band is smooth and polished for a comfortable fit.
We make this band in your choice of 14K or 18K gold. 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys, which means it’s exceptionally durable for a ring you’ll wear every day. 18K gold is 75% pure, offering a slightly richer colour. The diamonds are VVS clarity and E/F colour, so they’re very clean and face up bright white. We plate our white gold with rhodium, a hard, silvery-white metal from the platinum family, which means it has a brilliant finish and protects the gold underneath.

People choose this ring when they want a diamond band that has more texture than a simple channel-set style. The French pavé setting feels a bit more intricate and handcrafted, without being overly decorative. It sits relatively low on the finger and is designed to stack cleanly against most engagement rings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the French pavé setting on this 0.78ct diamond wedding band snag on my clothes?
It's unlikely to snag on most fabrics. The prongs in a French pavé setting are very small and integrated into the band itself. While any prong-set ring has a small chance of catching on delicate knits like a sweater, this design is generally smooth and secure for everyday wear.
Is it safe to wear my white gold diamond ring in the shower or while swimming?
We recommend removing your ring before showering or swimming. Soaps and lotions can build up behind the diamonds, making them look dull, and chlorine from pools can damage the rhodium plating and gold alloys over time. It's best to keep it dry and clean it separately.
How do I figure out the right ring size for a 3mm band like this one?
The best way to find your size is to be measured by a local jeweller using a sizer of a similar width. A wider band like this 3mm one can feel tighter than a very thin ring, so you might need to go up a quarter or half size for a comfortable fit.
