You can see it in the descriptions for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Engagement-Rings\/Halo\/French-Cut-Cushion-Halo-Setting\/1652?q=R2940\">R2940<\/a>, our French Cut Cushion Halo, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Engagement-Rings\/Diamond-Accented\/Large-French-Cut-Diamond-Engagement-Setting\/1396?q=R2834\">R2834<\/a>, the Large French Cut setting. Our French Cut Pave engagement ring settings are our most popular settings and are available in every width from a dainty 1.5mm to 2.5mm. If you are looking for a specific width for your diamond band you can request a custom designed ring at any width you would like.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrench cut\u201d refers to the way the small pave diamonds are set into the metal of the ring. The diamond setter hand cuts small &#8220;V&#8221; or &#8220;U&#8221; shapes into the metal in order to set the diamonds. This style is meant to show as little metal as possible, making rings appear like they are solid diamonds.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the V shapes clearly on the side of the Large French cut wedding band <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Wedding-Rings\/Diamond-Accented\/Large-French-Cut-Diamond-Wedding-Band\/1397?q=R2835\">R2835<\/a>. The diamonds are larger in this ring, so the design is easier to see.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_797\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Wedding-Rings\/Diamond-Accented\/Large-French-Cut-Diamond-Wedding-Band\/14KWhiteGold\/1397\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-797\" class=\"size-large wp-image-797\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/R2835_53870-french-cut-wedding-band-1024x863.jpg\" alt=\"Large French Cut Pave Diamond Wedding Band\" width=\"640\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/R2835_53870-french-cut-wedding-band-1024x863.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/R2835_53870-french-cut-wedding-band-300x252.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-797\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Large French Cut Pave Diamond Wedding Band<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On the French Cut Halo for Square Diamond, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Engagement-Rings\/Halo\/French-Cut-Halo-Setting-for-Square-Diamond\/Platinum\/1415\">R2862<\/a>, the Vs are smaller and little harder to see, but the effect of the French cut is the same.
