I finally took the plunge and had my late mother in laws engagement diamond reset.  The stone was originally set in a 14K yellow gold 6 prong solitaire.  The setting was very low to the point that you could not even see where the diamond ended and the setting started.  She was screaming for a reset, and with my husbands blessing here she is!

You can't tell from the pictures, but the stone is so sparkly and full of life!  She was a beauty before, but is much happier in her new home!

YAAAAAAY, Dana! She looks fantastic in her new home! I love the curvy/airy architecture of the setting and it sits so beautifully next to your yummy band. Sooo pretty!

I really love the side view on that setting.  So much of the diamond is visible!

It looked great before, but it is breathtaking now, especially with the diamond band.
And I agree, you do have nice nails!

Wow, it certainly makes the diamond look quite different! What a difference a setting makes, huh? I'm glad to hear you were able to set the diamond into something that you enjoy more

It does make a difference.
I went back and forth on the whole idea of changing the original setting, but the prongs were getting a bit bent on the old setting and I figured that my MIL would want the diamond to be worn and loved, not sitting in a jewelry box.

I would like to take the old setting and have an emerald set in it for my daughter when she gets older.  She is only 4 now and never was able to meet her grandmother, but I think that it would be such a nice gift for her.  She was born in May so that is the reason for the emerald.  There are also 2 diamond bands that went with the solitaire, so I will probably have them all soldered together!

Anyway, thanks again to everyone!  I just love that there is a place full of bling lovers like me!

The reset is lovely.  It makes your diamond the center of attention.  Enjoy your ring
