Wedding stack upgrade

[Octave]

If you get your wedding stack upgraded, what do you do with your old one?
Keep? Wear from time to time? Inherit or pass on? Lock up and forget? Turn into something else? Sell?
I am somewhat undecided. What did you do?

I have been lucky enough to keep both of my previous engagement rings. The original is quad set princess cuts & one of the central diamonds cracked & is in danger of popping out. Because it's unwearable (one hard knock & it'll fall apart) it was replaced with my pear cut. This is a beautiful diamond, but was replaced by DH as a surprise with my holy grail Tiffany in October. I am lucky enough to not have to sell it, but it hasn't been worn since. One day I may reset it into a RHR or pendant, but for now it languishes. (Excuse the pinky finger nail - I slammed a draw on it last wk)

I am curious what others will reply too. I would like to have my original diamond set into a solitaire necklace that I can wear everyday. Where to begin? A local jeweler or send out to a trusted PS vendor?

I intend to have my old engagement ring reset into a 5 stone ring. Whatever remains from there will be used for a yellow gold pave band.

Its taken me quite some time to figure out what my old ring can be used for, and from there what I actually want to use it for.

My original round diamond was reset into a pendant which my oldest daughter now wears.

If/when I upgrade my ering, I will set it in a target halo and wear it as a RH ring or alternative ering. At least that’s what I say now

That is a brilliant idea! I will definitely consider this. I think my daughter will love that one too!

My original ER was a one carat round that when I upgraded I got a matching one carat round and made a set of earrings. Every time I walk on my driveway I look for a sparkle because one of those earrings fell out while I was shoveling snow about 20 years ago and was never found! It's hiding somewhere..
I guess came from the earth and went back to the earth..

Ha ha, we are sisters in misery! Exactly the same thing happened to me two years ago, when I unloaded my car. I lost one of my beloved Piaget earrings (also with 1ct!) and never found it again. My biggest nightmare is, that the next owner of the car will have a lot of fun with it!

You were shovelling snow????

No, just unloading my car, but with a lot of snow around the car, the earring was gone! I could not believe it!

My engagement ring was quite small, about .38 ct. I almost never wore it anymore, so for my 15 year anniversary, I had the diamond reset into a custom Maytal Hannah pendant. The four heart petals symbolize our family of four and the diamond in the middle is our love. My kids know this and like touching "their" petal.

The pendant is a signature piece for me. I wear it 24/7 and plan to pass it on to my daughter as a family heirloom.

The pendant and it’s meaning is gorgeous!

This is the loveliest story behind a beautiful piece of jewellery

My original engagement ring is a 1.02 G SI2 I think? It’s still very sentimental to me so though I’ve upgraded it’s just in my jewelry box. I feel like my husband has an attachment to it as well LOL and he has not been supportive of me putting it in a different setting or piece of jewelry. So for now it sits maybe someday I’ll gift it to a future daughter-in-law or a niece but we will see!
