What, in the jewelry market, is a pave' diamond, or pave'?

1. A pave' diamond (pa-vay) is just basically tiny diamonds in clusters or group. Like in a ring, all those group of tiny diamonds "stuck" together right next to each other on the band is a pave' style. Usually an engagement ring has this big diamond in the middle. Then it has these tiny diamonds on the ring-band (either covering part of the band or all-over it) as accent...that is pave. Best example would be the eternity ring.
2. Pavé Setting A setting in which small stones are set as close as possible, so that the piece literally looks 'paved' with stones. I got that information from the site: http://en.mimi.hu/jewelry/pave_set.html Using that information, I would guess that a diamond pave setting is one where a diamond is surrounded by many small stones (usually diamonds).
