Upgrading Your Diamond Ring: How We Do It

Your original engagement ring may hold years of memories, but that does not mean it cannot evolve with you.

Many couples choose their engagement ring when budgets are tighter. Later in life, they may wish for a larger, brighter or higher-quality diamond without losing the sentimental value of the original ring.

Keep the Ring, Upgrade the Diamond

At Mark Lloyd Master Goldsmith, we can replace your existing diamond while retaining the character and familiar appearance of your ring.

Depending on the size and shape of the new diamond, we may adapt or remake the setting to hold it safely. This allows you to enjoy a more impressive stone without replacing the ring that means so much to you.

Completed in Our Workshop

All diamond upgrades are completed in our purpose-built workshop, so your ring remains in our professional care throughout the process.

We will examine the existing ring, discuss your preferred diamond size and quality, and explain any alterations needed to achieve a secure and beautifully balanced result.

What Happens to Your Original Diamond?

Your original diamond does not need to lose its sentimental importance. We can reset it into a pendant or another piece of jewellery, allowing you to continue wearing and enjoying it.

Alternatively, depending on the stone, its value may be used towards the cost of your upgraded diamond.

Begin Your Diamond Upgrade

During your personal consultation with Mark and Michelle, you can explore suitable diamonds and discuss the best options for your ring, preferences and budget.

The result is a brighter, more impressive ring that retains the memories and character of the original.
