How to Reset a Diamond Ring

There are many good reasons that you might want to reset your diamond. Maybe you are ready to make the change from a traditional yellow gold look to a more contemporary white gold or platinum style. Or maybe you’re in love with some of the new rose gold vintage styles that are once again all the rage. Perhaps you want to add diamonds to an existing design to increase the ‘bling’ factor. It could be that you inherited a diamond and want to enjoy it in a style all your own. Whatever is driving your desire, it can be done and the process is not rocket science. You can do this!

The easiest approach is to find an existing style that can accommodate your stone (s) and has the design elements you love. The process of setting the diamond is normally very straight forward. Choosing an existing style, rather than creating something from scratch, removes much of the uncertainty over how the final piece will look. And it is normally more cost effective than doing a custom, built from scratch, jewelry project.

Designer Jewelry

Choosing an existing style does not mean you have to settle for conventional! There are thousands upon thousands of different styles in the designer world offering a full spectrum of choices from traditional and relatively simple, to ornate and artistic. There are retro styles that evoke the vintage designs of a romantic past, and avant-garde designs that push the artistic envelope of contemporary design.
Browsing the catalogues of the top designer brands is not only a great first step to understanding the possibilities, but also to finding a style that has all the right design elements for your project. Most designs are offered in your choice of precious metal, and often these brands offer some customization. In this way you can put a personal stamp on the piece without having to go a full custom route.

Custom Jewelry Design

But if creating something completely unique is your thing, custom design is also available to bring your vision to life. The use of CAD (computer aided design) is common today and enables rendering into photorealistic images that provide a high degree of understanding about the finished piece.
However you decide to proceed after exploring your various options, you will want to select a qualified and trusted merchant for your special project. Fortunately, finding the right jeweler is also easy enough by spending a little time online checking reviews and samples of the work. There may be some hurdles to overcome in terms of the merchant’s policies with regard to insurance, or signing waivers against damage or other risks. But merchants that are careful about the work they take in tend to be the ones most careful about protecting their customers’ property and turning out a durable and beautifully crafted finished product.
