Pave diamonds are not 'made'; pave diamonds are set. Diamonds are 'made' by Mother Nature deep within the earth's mantle under extreme high pressure and temperatures..
'Pave diamonds' refers to the setting of the stones. Diamonds used in pave settings can be of any quality, so long as they are faceted. Most diamonds contain inclusions.
Pave is a form of setting, and any gemstone can be set in this form, including diamonds with -- or without -- inclusions.
A non-pave watch is a watch that has diamonds on it, either on the face or bezel, as opposed to a pave watch that has diamonds closely set together in metal around the entire bezel.
I believe you are referring to pave set diamonds. Pave settings are comprised of tiny diamonds set so closely together that they appear to present a diamond coating on the piece of jewelry. In this way, pave diamonds achieve the look of a larger diamond or a greater number of diamonds on the jewelry piece.
Industrial diamonds can appear cloudy and gray, because of their flaws and inclusions.
No it is not a diamond but it is a type of setting where accent diamonds are set closely together for a diamond-encrusted look. The setting can simply be a band with a pave setting or a single stone with a pave setting on the sides.
The acronym I2 insofar as diamonds are concerned is the least desirable category of clarity. From Wikipedia:"Includedcategory (I) diamonds have obvious inclusions that are clearly visible to a trained grader under 10x magnification. Included diamonds have inclusions that are usually visible without magnification or have inclusions that threaten the durability of the stone."The I category is divided into three grades; I1 denotes a higher clarity grade than I2, which in turn is higher than I3. Inclusions in I1 diamonds often are seen to the unaided eye. I2 inclusions are easily seen, while I3 diamonds have large and extremely easy to see inclusions that typically impact the brilliance of the diamond, as well as having inclusions that are often likely to threaten the structure of the diamond."
Yes. Man made diamonds are as strong as real diamonds that have been mined from the earth. These two types of diamonds are almost identical in every aspect.
Flaws in diamonds are called inclusions. They can be of several types, which you can read about, below.
Pave is a term used to describe a setting, not a gemstone, a term of French origin, meaning paved as in cobblestones.
Inclusions of boron atoms give diamonds a blue cast.
Diamonds have flaws or inclusions -- visible spots, streaks or blemishes -- within the stone. Usually, these are other trace minerals and not air bubbles.
This style of setting is sometimes called pave, meaning that the metal is not visible so that all the light gathered by the diamonds can be reflected back into the eyes of the beholder. The invisible setting is often used to abut several diamonds together to give the appearance of a larger stone. Good is relative.
