Re: Upgrade Question

[cali21]

I have a 1.75 carat diamond ring (round) that has a setting with two trillions on the side. I was wondering if I can upgrade to a 2+ carat center stone without getting a new setting?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

It all depends on the dimensions of your current diamond and the new one. The jeweller might be able to tweak the setting a bit to fit the new stone. I know that 0.5mm is not a problem. 1 mm? Depends on the setting (this becomes more restrictive with existing sidestones, so probably will not work).

A jeweler would have to examine the setting in person to see what size diameter stone it would hold.

I was in a very similar situation. I had a 1.4 carat princess that had .33 trillions on each side. I upgraded last year to a 2.02 carat oval and kept the same setting. All they had to do was change out the head. It looked nice and I was so excited by my upgraded center stone that I probably would have been happy with any setting.

Of course now, not even a year later, I am trading in my trillions and custom designing a new setting, which will be a halo around the oval with a split micropave shank. I think finally (at least I hope) I will have my dream ring

So, I think you should be fine, but of course as everyone already mentioned, your jeweler would probably know best.
