What is a pave-set bail pendant?

I was browsing online jewelry stores and found this amazing looking pendant. The description that went with the pendant said that it was a pave-set bail pendant. What does that mean? I'm not familiar with this type of setting. What does it look like?

A pave-set bail pendant is a pendant that hangs from a necklace by a long usually rectangular bail set with small stones. They can be set with any kind of stone, and they can be long or short. A pave-setting always refers to a surface with multiple gemstones that are set next to one another and held in place by metal beads.

A necklace bail is a small rectangular metal used to attach a pendant to its necklace chain. Therefore, when people talk about a pave set bail, they refer to a bail which is decorated with studded diamonds. This is an excellent way of creating a uniform look and it aesthetically links between the pendant and the bail. A pave set bail will enhance your diamond and bring more sparkle to your piece of jewelry. It is an excellent way of enhancing the beautiful diamond pendant you already have. You'll see that due to its appealing look and stylish design, pave-set bails are widely used throughout the jewelry industry, whether with diamond pendants or other gemstone designs.
