NEW LIFE WHEN (AND HOW) TO RESTYLE AN OLD ENGAGEMENT RING —NEW STYLE
Perrywinkle’s Diamond Round Necklace, DPCTF0057.
Diamonds are forever, but sometimes women want to change their setting. If you have unworn jewelry, whatever the reason, you should never waste a perfectly good diamond! The best way to make that diamond sparkle again? Let our experts reset it into a new piece of jewelry that will bring you years of wearing pleasure! Like diamonds, unique as snowflakes, every woman’s story is different. Some women get married and wear their original ring their whole lives. Other women choose to upgrade or change their ring for a special anniversary. Maybe a number of years have gone by and the styling of the engagement ring is no longer fashionable. Or, maybe the engagement ring has been inherited from a friend or family member, and its style or size doesn’t quite suit the new owner. Generally speaking, the easiest solution is to reset the stone into another ring. You might like to keep a similar style in the ring but change the metal or upgrade the setting. Or maybe it’s the setting that needs upgrading. Setting a diamond into a halo, a sparkling frame of surrounding diamonds, will make the center stone appear larger and raise its sparkle quotient. Perhaps turning a solitaire into a three-stone ring

LIKE DIAMONDS...EVERY WOMAN’S STORY IS DIFFERENT.
is the answer: instead of using tiny diamonds to upgrade the ring, consider adding two side diamonds in a complementary shape, such as trillions, half moons, or baguettes. Or, go for a non-traditional look and set the diamond in a band with other smaller stones to create an anniversary ring.
