Bonjour, Pave Diamond Jewelry
Pave diamonds date back as far as the 1700s, however it wasn’t until the early 19th century, as diamond cutting techniques evolved, that craftsmen recognized the powerful affect of smaller stones for their use in more elaborate patterns and designs. This innovation expanded the use of diamonds overall, particularly in French jewelry design. This period marked the rise of the Napoleonic era and Empire style, characterized by the opulence and grandeur of elaborately designed diamond tiaras, necklaces, brooches, and hair pieces. Napleon’s first wife, Empress Josephine, is considered an early influencer in diamond jewelry and fashion, bringing attention to French design and the popularity of the elaborate detail. It’s no surprise we can thank the French for introducing the concept of ‘trends’ to the world, from the romantic periord of exquisite detail work, to art deco, and ultimately many of the modern motifs we see in fashion and diamond jewelry today.
