Hello Hans;

>     What is "micro pave"? 

    Micro pave is just a marketing term for pave with small stones. It's
    meant to draw attention to and make special the fact that the stuff
    is set with really tiny diamonds (actually, just 1 pointers). I think
    it also keeps people from noticing just how crummy the stones, the
    designs, and the setting work are (as if the average consumer would
    know the difference). I'm not picking on the consumer, and I'm not
    picking on the manufacturer. The first doesn't know because the
    retailers don't educate them, the second doesn't care because the
    retailers buy from them anyway. You see where I'm going with this?
