I worked in a jewelry store for years and the pave style is what most guest had issues with. there is not alot of gold to hold those diamonds in making it very easy for them to fall out.
i do! the band is rounded with pave diamonds on the side, and my wedding band, too. the setting is in platinum and i have had zero problems with any of the diamonds falling out. the photo is huge, but you can see the pave around the sides of the band too (not just on the top). because the band is slightly curved my wedding band doesn't sit exactly flush with the engagement ring, so there is no issue of the pave rubbing and setting the stones loose. a good jeweler will recommend a reliable setting (mine is by michael bondanza) and make sure you get your ring fully insured just in case! hope that helps!
My wedding band has pave diamonds on the side and one fell out within 2 weeks of the wedding. My jeweler replaced it for free but I was a little sketched out about its durability. I still love it though and wouldn't trade it for anything.
I haven't had a problem with mine! Been wearing it since... xmas time 2008.
My e ring has a pave band and it haven't had any probems so far(I got it in Novemeber). You should def get it insured tho just in case! You never know!

Mine does!
Although I don't have my wedding band with mine yet, so I don't know about any rubbing.
I haven't had any diamonds fall out in the 1 1/2 years that I've had it.
Mine has pave diamonds on my band. :)

I've never had any issues with my ring and have been wearing it now for a year. I'm getting a plain white gold band to go with mine which sits flat so it doesn't rub on the ring.
I can never get a good one of my actual ring, but here is a store shot...
I didn't want this for this exact reason. Instead, I went with an e-ring setting with .75 carats of round and emerald baguettes that go halfway down my ring. There are only three diamonds on either side of the center stone. My wedding band is a 2.61 ctw round eternity band set in platinum. They sit flush.
We made sure to purchase from stores (e-ring and band were from different places) that guaranteed the stones for life from falling out due to normal wear and tear, BUT I still didn't want to deal with this kind of problem.
If you want a pave setting, get it, just MAKE SURE you have a LIFETIME guarantee against stones falling out during normal wear and tear that the jeweler will replace them with stones of equal value for free.
Personally, I have fallen in love with the look of non-pave (when I originally did want pave) because the larger stones sparkle much more (in my opinion).
But, as long as you buy your ring from a reputable jeweler, this will not be an issue. Just make sure you get that guarantee in writing.
My ring has micro pave on the sides. I've had it a little over a year with no issues whatsoever. I found it difficult to find a wedding band to go with it, but only bc I was set on a simple 2mm pave diamond band, but I didn't want to cover the diamonds on the side. My husband got it for me anyway and I really like it now. I would definitely say if you go this route, make sure you're getting a quality product and a warranty of some sort.
My best friend rec'd her ring this past Xmas. It was custom made. It has pave on the band and on the halo (the halo is more of a sidewalk) and she's already had stones fall out, as well as the center stone come loose several times. It's totally a quality issue. I think she insisted on way more ring than her guy could comfortably afford, and you can totally see it in the craftmanship and the diamonds selected. I don't know if it makes a difference in strength of the metal or not, but her ring is white gold (mine is platinum). So, I've seen it go both ways with the pave, thankfully I have the positive experience!!
Here's my ring:

@amanda44, omg, can you email your ring to my bf? ;) Haha, my bf and i were discussing rings recently and that is exactly the kind of band we were envisioning. Just had to tell you i think your ring is absolutely gorgeous!
I love my pave!

mine looks like this except it has diamons all around except for the very bottom. We had it custom made to look mostly like the ritani though.
Thanks to everyone that posted about their rings and the wonderful pictures. They really helped me. We went today to look at rings (sooo exciting!!) and it looks like we are going to have one custom made. It will have channel set round diamonds on the sides of the center stone and be cathedral set and have pave diamonds on the sides going up the cathedral. We then want a wedding band on each side, but since the cathedral will be higher then the bands they won't cover the pave diamonds. I can't wait!
Mine actually has bead-set diamonds on the side. Because it has a slight tilt in the angle, it isn't a problem with the wedding band. (like the one @kands posted- they usually have a slight angle. I have never had a problem, and I enjoy the "surprise" of the diamonds on the side.
I do! Here's what mine looks like and in the 3.5 years I've had it, I haven't had any problems (knock on wood): http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/12/16/ring-shots/
P.S. Sorry the images are so huge!
Don't have my wedding band yet, but have tried them on together at the store and so far so good! My rings are rounded across the top, so that prevents them from rubbing against each other. and the E-ring is tapered in the center. - A friend of mine has some small pave on her band that fits against the E-ring. No report of diamond damage. I think it just depends on the ring design and pave size.
My ring has diamonds on the band... but not sure if they are pave? They're set into the top of the band so the sides (metal) will be the only part that rubs. No problems with it yet (been almost a year) and I'm pretty hard on it.
Can't stress enough - take it in for regular cleanings/checkups and get it insured! I have no worries about my ring b/c of this. 
There's my E-ring. I never really had a problem with it. I took it in for inspection once and they said that one of the diamonds were loose, so I had to go without it for a couple of weeks while they fixed it but other than that no issues :) I don't have a pic yet of it with the wedding band, but it came as a set and fits snugly right up against the E-ring. The band is lined with diamonds as well :)
Loved my ring! Unusual to have bagette diamonds up side. No problems with anything and still haven't seen a ring like it. I love all these pave designs because they can be so unique.

I have pave diamonds on the side and I love the look but you do have to be very careful with it. I've already lost two small diamonds on the back side...:( good thing my jeweler will replace them for free..
I dont know if mine are technically pave, though the jeweler calls them that (they seem big for pave though), but here is mine. I love a stone within 1 hour of my FH proposing. I was panicked. Luckily, he found it, and we tucked it into the box for safe keeping.... the jeweler said she would replace anything that falls out, but we are glad we found it anyway. When they went to put the stone back in they found 2 more loose.... needless to say I get VERY nervous about more falling out. The setting is some weird kind that has the stones snap in. Hopefully some custom bands will help shore everything up, at least so Im not so paranoid. :)
All you girls have GORGEOUS rings!! I love them all. Paves are fantastic!!
Soon to be, you have what's called a cluster ring, though a modern version. VERY CUTE!!!!
seeing all these rings made my happy because they're like mine...
no i haven't had in problems with mine at all *got from a really good local jeweler tho vs a national chain*
i'm wearing my band now bc FI got the big rock ring too big so I have to wear the band which has pave diamonds on it already in the opposite order so the big ring stays on *we do everything so backwards lmao* no problems at all though with it post pics as soon as you get yours would love to see it
ps stephanie yours is almost just like mine! beautiful!!!
I have the pave diamonds as well as other cool details on the side of mine, and my brilliant solution to the wedding band issue was to wear my e-ring on my right hand after the wedding. I didn't want to hide any of those little sparklers. :-)

Thanks everyone who posted. We ordered the ring today!!! I'm so excited. It's being fully custom made based on many elements I saw I liked and combined together, so I won't get it for awhile still. But I did do some pave diamonds on the side of the setting. I will be sure to post many pictures once I receive it!! I can't wait!!!
My ring has pave on the sides and so far there has been no problems. I think the best thing is just to makesure the jewler you work with will insure the work if it breaks for whatever reason
Regarding the wedding band rubbing on the side pave diamonds, our jeweler cautioned me about this as well, and recommended a wedding band that has the paves at a slight angle, instead of directly on the side, so there's no direct contact on the diamonds. So far no problems with my Precision Set band.
Never had a problem with my pave setting! I love it! ;-)

Bumping this old thread... I have 3 sides of pave in my w band and e ring, and I'm concerned about them rubbing together and subsequent damage. Thought I'd resurrect this to see if anyone else has had problems, or better yet, had NO problems after wearing their pave sets for a few years. BTW: my set is Simon G so it's a trusted manufacturer.
@Miss Noodles: I posted on this thread back when I just wore my ering by itself. A few months ago, now that I added my wedding band, I did lose a stone from the side that rested against my band. The jeweler told me it was because I have two pretty loose fitting bands on my finger, and obviously during the day, they bump into each other pretty frequently and roughly.
I got it replaced (the small stone) and really only wear them together when I'm not at work (since I work in childcare). I have not had any additional problems. It was suggested that I get them souldered together, which I didn't want. But I really don't think my stone would have fallen out if my bands were more snug on my finger. (I have those strange fingers that include HUGE knuckles with skinny fingers around the bottom, therefore I can't get the proper ring size for the bottom portion of my finger because it still needs to be big enough to get over the knuckle).
Hope this helps! :)
@Miss Stephanie: Thanks! My w band is a perfect fit, and doesnt really move. The e ring is a 1/4 size bigger, and does spin a little... but not a tremendous amount. Like you, I don't want them soldered, since I wnt to be able to wear one simple ring if I choose, and also what is the point of having all those extra diamonds on the side if they're going to be sandwiched INTO the 2 rings? I guess I'll just have to keep up with my inspections, and if it starts to be an issue, have them soldered and get an anniversary band to wear alone when I want to wear a single ring. Bet DH will be thrilled to hear about that :P
Yay pave diamonds!
My ring has a petite pave cathedral setting, and they all seem firmly in place. I've only had it for a few months, but it is such a lovely effect!

Hi All -
My boyfriend and I have started ring shopping (soooo exciting) and I've been doing a lot of looking (online and in person) for styles and designs that I like. I really like the look of have diamond in a pave setting on either side of the ring - just to be clear, not either side of the diamond, but along the sided of the ring. A jeweler recommended against doing this because of the problems with a wedding band rubbing up against these diamonds. Does anyone have a ring like this? Do you have this problem? And just to get ideas - do you have pictures.
Thanks - I look forward to the responses.
