Your engagement ring is a symbol of the unique love shared by you and your partner, and its beauty and form can evolve as your romance does. Whether you’re approaching a significant milestone in your marriage or just want to beautify your ring further, remounting your engagement ring offers more than just an upgrade— it facilitates a transformative journey of renewal and personal expression. Our expert staff here at Northeastern Fine Jewelry can help you redesign and refresh your personal symbol of everlasting love, blending timeless elegance with contemporary flair to create a gorgeous custom piece that will remind you why you said “I do.”

Should You Remount Your Engagement Ring?

Deciding whether or not to remount your engagement ring involves a thoughtful balance of desires and sentiments. If you dream of upgrading smaller stones to larger ones, or adding more stones to a simple band, a remount could fulfill your ultimate vision of elegance and grandeur. Remounting your engagement ring may also be a more cost-efficient option for your budget than purchasing an entirely new ring. Yet, beyond mere aesthetics, remounting offers the opportunity to breathe new life into a cherished symbol of love while preserving its sentimental significance.

Remounting your engagement ring can visually document your marriage over the years, illustrating the natural evolution of your romance as it adorns your finger. Alternatively, remounting your ring can transform it into an heirloom to pass down through the generations, giving it a timeless legacy of enduring commitment and tradition. Ultimately, the decision to remount reflects not just a desire for change, but a profound appreciation for the enduring beauty and significance of love's journey. If you decide to remount your engagement ring, there are a few ways to proceed.

Add Diamond Accents

Elevating your engagement ring with additional diamond accents is a captivating way to infuse it with renewed allure and sophistication. By strategically incorporating these sparkling side stones, you can enhance the brilliance and presence of your center stone, amplifying its mesmerizing beauty.

However, your original diamond setting impacts the setting and security of any new stones. Diamond accents can be securely added to your engagement ring by selecting a new band to one that includes settings for additional stones on the sides. This also provides an opportunity to upgrade to a higher karat rating for a gold ring or a different metal entirely if you so desire.

Add Spellbinding Sparkle with a Halo Setting

Another option for revitalizing your engagement ring is to remount your center stone to a captivating halo setting. This is a popular option for those who want to add more sparkle to their engagement ring, especially if it was originally a more simple design. Upgrading to a halo design enhances the allure of your center stone, elevating its visual impact and giving it a new level of opulence.

A halo setting not only amplifies the size and presence of your beloved center stone, but it also adds a touch of romantic sophistication to your ring— symbolizing the eternal embrace of love and devotion in a dazzling display of craftsmanship and beauty.

Create Symbolism with Three Stones

Remounting your engagement ring to a three stone setting not only enhances the overall beauty and brilliance of your ring, but also imbues it with profound symbolism, each gemstone representing a significant chapter in your love story. They can signify the past, present, and future, with your center stone symbolizing your love as a whole and serving as a poignant reminder of the journey you've shared and the adventures that lie ahead.

Alternatively, they can represent the family you've built together, with each stone signifying the love and joy brought by children born during your marriage. Embrace the symbolism and elegance of a three stone setting as you embark on the next chapter of your romantic journey, adorned with a ring that tells a story as enduring as your love.

Go Big and Bold

Elevate your engagement ring to new heights of glamor and sophistication by remounting it to a big and bold setting, a popular choice among women who exude confidence and have reached a certain status in life. This striking option allows you to make a bold statement and showcase your individuality with your own unique flair. You can upgrade to a larger center stone and add diamond accents to command attention and captivate onlookers with your ring’s dazzling brilliance.

Alternatively, you can also add enhancers, such as a ring jacket, to easily transform your original engagement ring. Enhancers preserve the appearance of your original ring while also revamping it into a breathtaking masterpiece that reflects your refined taste and elevated style.
