Diamond Upgrades
As your circumstances change, so can your jewelry. Our diamond upgrade services allow you to trade in your existing diamond for a larger or higher-quality stone, applying the value of your current diamond toward your new purchase. Whether you received a diamond years ago and want to mark a milestone with an upgrade, or simply want a more impressive stone, we make the process simple and fair.
We provide competitive trade-in valuations for your existing diamond and work with you to select a beautiful upgrade that fits your new vision and budget. Diamond upgrades are a meaningful way to celebrate achievements, anniversaries, or simply to refresh a piece you wear every day. Our transparent process ensures you understand exactly how much credit you're receiving and how it applies to your new diamond selection.
Stone Setting (All Setting Styles)
Once you've selected your perfect diamond or gemstone, we expertly set it into your chosen design. Our master jewelers are skilled in all setting styles—from classic solitaire and halo settings to three-stone designs, vintage settings, tension settings, and custom designs. We handle the delicate work of securing your precious stone with precision and care, ensuring it's both beautiful and structurally sound.
Whether you're setting a loose diamond into an existing ring, creating a custom design, or redesigning an heirloom, our stone setting services combine artistry with technical expertise. We work with all precious metals and can accommodate any design vision. Each stone is set securely and finished to perfection, creating a piece you'll wear confidently and treasure for a lifetime.
Diamond Matching
Finding the perfect matching diamond for a three-stone ring, eternity band, or coordinated jewelry set requires expertise and access to comparable stones. Our diamond matching services help you locate diamonds that closely match your existing stone in cut, color, clarity, and carat weight, creating a cohesive, balanced design. Whether you're creating an anniversary ring, adding side stones to an existing ring, or designing a completely new piece, we ensure your diamonds work beautifully together.
Our gemologists carefully evaluate your existing diamond and source matching stones from our inventory or through our network of suppliers. We consider not just the technical specifications but also how the stones will appear together in your finished design. Perfect diamond matching creates stunning visual impact and adds significant value to your jewelry.
