I have learned that all pave is not equal. Some just don''t sparkle. Could anyone steer me towards the better designers of pave ER settings? Especially those of high quality at fair prices. From what I can tell from the online photos, the pave on Michael B. (Pearlmans) and Richard Landi (GOG) appear nice. I welcome any firsthand input of what to stay away from or to gravitate to.

Thanks!
 
Leon Mege (a master of pave) IMO, wrote this article that explains the pave settings ..http://www.artofplatinum.com/articles/micropave.php

I personally would probably prefer a handmade pave ring than one that is cast. I started a thread a while back asking the difference between the 2 methods. you can read it here. I will say that Ritani is the one exception I'd make. they cast their pave rings and then hand set the stones but they produce on of the best most durable pave rings out there IMO and for a great price for a designer ring. Micheal B, daniel K, Leon mege are a few others that come to mind.
 
I love my pave ering and wedding ring set from James Allen. The designer is Danhov and I think it''s very well made and extremely sparkly. I assume it''s cast and not handmade but it was also a very good price. Here''s a link to the site so you can check out the styles; mine is the E1 with a matching band. Good luck!

THANKS for posting. I''ve been thinking about Danhov. It''s good to know you''re still happy and the side diamonds/pave haven''t fallen out!!!

Even though Ritani settings are cast, I would buy one in a heartbeat. They are great quality too.
