Pave Style Engagement Rings
Pavé is a style in which many small diamonds of the same shape are set in extremely close proximity. This mass formation effectively coats the metal surface. The gems are separated by and held in place by little beads of the setting metal. The result is what looks like a continuous surface of diamonds or other gems. The word Pavé comes from the French word for pavement. Here are a few of our recent Pavé creations....

Three Prong Tennis Bracelet - History and Beyond
White Gold 3 Prong Tennis Bracelet
Tennis bracelets were originally known as an eternity or in-line bracelet, but in 1987, tennis queen Chris Evert put this piece of jewelry on the map. The athlete loved her in-line bracelets and wore them everywhere; she even wore them on the court while playing.
At the 1987 U.S. Open, she stopped a match already in progress when she noticed that her signature bracelet had fallen off. The whole world watched as Evert looked for it. Soon after, the eternity bracelet became affectionately known as the tennis bracelet.
Today, tennis bracelets are considered a classic piece of jewelry and are a must for every fashionable woman. The bracelets are often given as a gift to celebrate a very special occasion like a coming of age, a graduation, a birthday or an anniversary.
While the diamond in-line bracelet is the one traditionally recognized as a tennis bracelet, there are multiple variations. Now it is very common to combine diamonds and with other gemstones like rubies or sapphires, others feature colorful birthstones or mix gemstones with decorative metalwork. Any type of bracelet that has a repetitive design could be considered a tennis bracelet.
The multiple varieties give way to different meanings. Where a diamond tennis bracelet symbolizes love and security, different stone selections and designs represent different things. Pink topaz or pink sapphire tennis bracelet have become a popular way to fashionably show support for breast cancer awareness. Tennis bracelets featuring a repeat of two different gemstones often symbolize one’s relationship with another be a it a family member, friend or life long companion. Recently, mothers have begun wearing bracelets featuring the birthstones of their children. A tennis bracelet set completely with one’s own birthstone represents independence and pride.
The choices are endless. Regardless of the style you choose – the tennis bracelet is a timeless versatile piece. They are simple enough for everyday wear – as illustrated by one of Sport’s most revered tennis players – and perfect for adding glamour to an evening event.
Another safety measure to protect what can be a very expensive investment as well as a sentimental gift. The prong tips should be checked regularly for wear and should be re-tipped periodically. The prongs themselves checked for tightness. For bezel settings, make sure the stone does not become loose. It is more difficult to detect a setting problem since there are no prongs to show damage.Show your love, support and appreciation for the woman in your life with the gift of a beautiful tennis bracelet For a selection of unique bracelets set with diamonds or birthstones, visit our jewelry blog at http://blog.brianthecutter.com .
