I think I''m getting a pave 3mm engagement band w/ a solitaire from my sweet boyfriend. It''s what we''ve picked out, and I''m really happy with it, but I have a couple of concerns about pave in general. I''ve never had anything pave before, and I''m worried that:
1. The pave diamonds will get loose in their 18k white gold setting over the years
2. Pave will be harder to clean because of all the small grooves, and that it''ll perpetually look dirty
3. That the pave e-ring will rub against the pave wedding band (not planning to have them joined) and wear down the white gold pave prongs on both rings.
4. That the pave diamonds will be lost over time...
Anyone have any expertise on pave? Anyone know how it endures over time?
Also...my ring is a JFA (Jean-Francois Albert) design (marked by his square shaped bands...which I find to be very comfortable). Any feedback on him as a designer?
Thanks in advance!
