Hand cut Micro Pave refers to a diamond setting style in which each little prong holding the diamonds in the ring design are cut out by hand. As well as cutting out each little prong, the diamond setter will also also cut out the area under and around where the diamond is to be set so as to give the setting style a nice aesthetic as well as help show off the micro pav\u00e9 diamonds.<\/p>\n<p>We only offer these hand cut micro pave setting styles in Platinum rings as other metals are not as ideally suited for this type of detailed hand work.<\/p>\n<p>Here is\u00a0 an extreme close up photo (macro shot) of a hand cut micro pav\u00e9 engagement ring. We call this setting style, U-cut, which is a good descriptive of the U shape area cut out underneath each diamond. As mentioned, this hand cut pattern\u00a0 helps accentuate the micro pave diamonds and also lends the design a very attractive aesthetic.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.knoxjewelers.biz\/products\/jolie\"><img loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"2296_5_macro Micro Pav\u00e9 Engagement Rings\"  src=\"\/\/www.knoxjewelers.biz\/storeimages\/products\/macro\/2296_5_macro.jpg\"  alt=\"2296_5_macro Unique Engagement Rings \"  width=\"550\" height=\"367\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Good example of a Hand Cut (U-cut) Micro Pave Engagement Ring   Click on image to see other images and video of this ring  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here is another very close up example of a hand cut micro pave engagement ring.
