Pave Diamonds Are My Favorite Things
Hi #BeautifulAndCapable! If you ever visited my store, you probably noticed my sparkling selection of Diamond pieces that not only are much less expensive than you expected, but also they seem to be more fun and elegant, modern and versatile. It is because I prefer to use Pave Diamonds!
Everyday Diamonds: The Subtle Power of Pavé
Diamonds have long been treasured as symbols of strength, love, and clarity. But somewhere along the way, they became tucked away for “special occasions,” locked in jewelry boxes, waiting for a moment grand enough to justify their sparkle. We believe it’s time to change that mindset.
Why Save Your Shine?
At Anna Balkan Jewelry & Gifts, we believe diamonds aren’t meant to live in a safe—they’re meant to live with you. Worn daily, diamonds can bring joy, confidence, and quiet strength to your everyday style. It’s not about status or formality. It’s about wearing something that makes you feel a little more like yourself.
Why I Love Pavé
Unlike large solitaire diamonds that often come with a hefty price tag and a whole lot of pressure, pavé diamonds offer a more understated, refined kind of sparkle. Pavé (pronounced pah-vay, from the French word for “paved”) refers to tiny diamonds set closely together, creating a continuous shimmer that catches the light from every angle—without stealing the show.
This setting allows us to design chic, modern pieces that feel effortless and wearable, even with the most casual look. It’s the diamond look you can live in—no pedestal required.
Designed for Real Life
We love pairing pavé diamonds with sterling silver, oxidized finishes, and 24k gold vermeil. These combinations make our pieces more accessible, yet still rich in meaning and design. They’re not meant for safes—they’re meant for real moments: morning coffee runs, unexpected adventures, and spontaneous laughter.
Because every day deserves a little sparkle.
Here is one of my favorite ways to honor the elegance of timeless look and a touch of sparkle. These are limited edition Rainbow Moonstone earrings with a touch of Champagne and Green Chrysoprase.
The Meaning Behind the Diamond
Diamonds symbolize endurance, clarity, and inner strength—all qualities we want to channel as we move through life’s chaos and calm. Whether gifted or self-bought, wearing diamonds can serve as a quiet reminder of resilience and brilliance, both inside and out.
