HI all
Definitely new here however really glad I found the site. This year will be our 10 year anniversary (my how time flies!). I'm looking to upgrade my wife's diamond from a .90 to at least a 1.5.

I recently went back to the place (not online) that I purchased the original engagement ring 10 years ago. They have an upgrade program in which I will get 110% of the value to put towards the upgraded diamond. In looking online I see the same diamonds I was shown for much cheaper. I was skeptical at first with buying online, however see so many that are in favor of doing so.

My question is do you know if online vendors do an upgrade program as well? Or will I have to buy it at full price (ouch) and then worry about selling the original diamond to offset the costs? Thanks much for your time!

As far as I know, many online vendors have upgrade programs but only for diamonds that you originally purchased from them. If you are wanting to shop online for a new diamond you will almost certainly have to pay full price and then sell your original.

Is your wife set on having a larger diamond? I have seen many people on here take the original E-ring diamond and turn it into a 3 stone ring. Most of them come out very beautiful and you get to keep that stone that started it all.
