Remount That Diamond & Bring the Life Back to your Ring

Whether updating to a trendy style or enhancing a solitaire into a three stone ring, deciding to have your diamond reset into a something new is a great way to increase your investment and hold on to a sentimental diamond while spicing things up. Many people fear having diamonds reset, worrying they will chip or damage during the process. While understandable, it’s always good to keep in mind that diamonds are one the strongest substances on the planet – and that a good jeweler will always treat your diamonds with the best of care!

 Whichever the setting choice, removing the diamond is usually a relatively simple process in which the jeweler bends or removes metal holding it in place. There are specialized tools that put back pressure on prongs so that little or no force is applied to the diamond for a safe removal. Once your diamond is free, it can then take the new form of whatever you decide it to be.

 some enjoy converting their simple solitaire designs into three stone settings to represent yesterday, today and tomorrow. You can play with proportion and style by having your diamonds reset with stones of matching size and shape, alternating size and/or shape, or by mixing with other gemstones. You can also have a diamond reset along with two smaller stones in a trillion shape to help lead the eye to your center diamond. The combinations are endless!
