Die plaveiselinstelling word so genoem omdat dit die metaalband laat lyk asof dit 'geplaveide' is met klein klein diamantjies. Hierdie diamante sit bo-op die band en word vasgehou deur klein penne of kraletjies. Daar is verskeie tipes plaveiinstellings, maar die konsep is dieselfde.
The aim of the pave setting is to provide as much sparkle as possible for the ring and to enhance the center stone. While different shapes can be used for pave, small round melee diamonds are the most common.
