Shine at holiday parties in sparkling pavé jewelry

Shine at holiday parties in sparkling pavé jewelry

What’s your party persona? Whether you’re first on the dancefloor or operate a strict “one drink and then I’m out” policy, there’s one thing we can all agree on. Every holiday outfit looks better when you’re twinkling away in pavé jewelry.

What is pavé, exactly?

Pavé is what happens when a bunch of tiny gemstones all get together. While pavé is often used as an engagement ring setting (it’s said to make the central diamond look bigger), it packs a punch in any piece of jewelry. And it doesn’t have to be made of diamonds; you can create pavé jewelry with any color of gemstone. What matters is that they’re set close together to create a glittering surface, like shiny paving stones. All those tiny facets catch the light to add up to a super-sparkly effect all over — proving that you don’t need a carat-heavy central stone to make a serious impact.

‘Tis the season to shine

Office to party. Desk to dinner. If there’s one way to get party-ready in an instant, it’s to add a piece of pavé — a shortcut to looking like you made made an effort, it’s the jewelry equivalent of a dash of red lipstick. Whether you pick a name necklace dotted with diamonds or a stack of ruby-encrusted rings, you can count on pavé gemstones to refresh your trusty old LBD and luxe up any jeans-and-a-nice-top combo. And those light-reflecting qualities come in pretty handy if you’re burning the candle at both ends over the holidays.

The best pavé pieces this holiday

Ready to bring the glitter with our pavé jewelry? We love the Trapeze Artist necklace, which makes a statement with its sparkling V — it’s a showstopper that can light up your look all on its own. The Zig To My Zag ring and the Get to the Point ring both look fabulous in a stack, so try a sprinkling of colored gemstones to set off your manicure. Or why not make it an arm party with the Say My Name pavé bracelet? Meanwhile, as every A-lister knows, pavé earrings make the best illuminator for your complexion: frame your face with our light-reflecting pavé huggies, or create some drama with the She’s A Dreamer drop earrings
