My diamond in my engagement ring chipped and could not be repaired. My setting was just fine and was not damaged. The insurance company covered the damaged stone. I wanted to make sure I kept my current setting because that means much more to me than the original diamond. The original diamond was given to my fiance by his mother, it was a diamond from a previous marriage so there was no sentimental connection to it.
I searched for about 3 weeks and found a local vendor that had some great diamonds at great prices. My original diamond was a 2.00ct H/I color, I1 clarity, 7.73-7.78X5.00(? on the 5.00), and a fair cut. My new stone is a 1.75ct D color, SI2 clarity (eye clean), 7.91-8.00X4.something. It was a huge upgrade for me so it is really exciting. The diamond is a bit shallow but to me it still sparkles like crazy and has so much life! I am very excited to stare at this diamond for the rest of my life.
Here is a link to my original ring https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/pics-of-my-e-ring.64423/.
