Last year I got DW an upgrade for our 15th anniversary. You can see pics of it here:
Upgrade ring thread

She got the original diamond reset in a matching necklace, and I though you folks might want to see how the set looks together.

The original diamond was a .9c, D, VS1. The new diamond is a 1.79, H, VS2.

Here the are together:

They are both absolutely gorgeous! She must love them!!!
I really love the idea of using the original stone to make something that goes with the upgrade, very sentimental, and a great idea!

You know what I love?  That turned your new ering and old ering into a set...what a great idea!  I love that they match

Really lovely set, Chiefneil.  I'm not usually a fan of matchy-matchy, but these pieces look great together, even though they're slightly different.  Your DW is one lucky lady!  Now, what about some earrings?

Thanks again ladies! I forgot to mention that both pieces are custom-made by a local jeweller, so the pave/melee match on both. The pave is surprisingly high quality, I think the jeweler said it's in the VS+, G+ range and stands up well even next to the new AGS000 ISEE2 diamond. DW asked for larger than usual pave, which gives the pieces an interesting and unique look.
