Resetting a diamond means moving your existing stone from its current setting into a new one — without buying a new diamond. It's the right choice when you love your stone but want a fresher, more modern, or more secure setting. Here's what to know before you reset a diamond.
When to reset a diamond
- Your setting is dated, bent, or worn thin.
- You inherited a ring and want it to feel like yours.
- You want a new look without the cost of a new stone.
- Prongs are loose and the stone is at risk.
What it costs
Resetting costs far less than buying a new piece because you're reusing your diamond. The price depends on the new setting's design, metal, and labor — you'll get a transparent quote after your consultation, before any work begins.
Is it safe?
Yes. Your stone is documented before and after, and every piece ships insured and tracked. Careful handling of your diamond is the priority at every step.
