Do pave set diamond earings look bigger then other cuts?

I was told that if you buy pave set diamond cluster earrings that they loook bigger than if they were a different cut. Is this true?

Pave is not a cut. It is a style of jewelry setting where there are many tiny gemstones set right next to each other.

And yes, in a way, it would give you more bling for the buck because many small gemstones are less expensive than one large gemstone, even if the total weight is the same.
