A Fresh Start with the Same Heart
Your engagement ring is a beautiful symbol of love, commitment and a promise for the future. Over the years, your love evolves and so does your style; and there may come a time you want to reimagine your ring to match. Remounting your engagement ring is a perfect way to preserve the sentimental meaning of your ring, while updating it to match today’s style. Remounting allows you to keep the original diamond while updating the setting, style and overall design of the ring.
Let’s explore reasons why people choose to remount their engagement rings, the importance of keeping your original diamond, tips for remounting your ring, and how to choose a new style.
Why Remount Your Engagement Ring?
There are many reasons you might want to remount your engagement ring, including changing tastes, wear and tear, updating an heirloom and more. If any of these circumstances apply to you, visit the team at Mountz Jewelers to start designing your updated ring.
Evolving Tastes: Over time, personal tastes can change. The style you loved years ago might not match your current preferences. Because you wear your engagement ring every day, you want it to complement your current wardrobe as much as possible. Remounting allows you to reflect today’s style without losing the sentimental value of the ring that started it all.
Wear and Tear: Over the years, daily wear can lead to damage or wear out the ring’s setting. Remounting provides an opportunity to reinforce the security of the diamonds and revitalize the ring’s appearance.
Inheritance: Perhaps your ring is a family heirloom that’s been passed down through the generations. Remounting an inherited ring can modernize the design while preserving your family’s shining legacy.
Milestone Celebrations: Wondering what to do to mark that special anniversary? Significant anniversaries or life milestones often inspire couples to refresh their rings. Remounting can be a way to celebrate and commemorate these special moments.
Upgrading: As financial situations improve, some couples choose to upgrade their rings. Remounting allows you to incorporate additional diamonds or gemstones while keeping your cherished original diamond.
Why Keep the Original Diamond?
The center gemstone of an engagement ring is often the most valuable and sentimental part of the ring. It represents the core of the commitment and the journey you and your partner have shared. Keeping the original diamond while remounting offers several benefits:
Sentimental Value: The center gemstone is a symbol of the original proposal and the love story that follows. Retaining it maintains the emotional heart of the ring.
Cost-Effectiveness: The center diamond is usually the most expensive part of an engagement ring. By keeping it, you can invest more in the setting and design without the need to purchase a new stone.

Incorporate Personal Touches: Add unique elements to the design, such as additional gemstones, birthstones, engraving or intricate detailing that makes the ring truly yours.
Set a Budget: Determine a budget for the remounting process. This helps you make informed decisions about the design and materials used, while staying comfortable with the effect on your wallet.

Remounting Style Ideas
Some of our favorite trends of the moment are halo styles, delicately detailed bands, three stone styles and incorporating colored gemstones.
Add a Halo: Adding a halo around your center diamond increases the sparkle. The halo is an enduring style element that was first popularized in the Victorian era, and remains popular today.
Delicately Detailed Bands: Small diamonds set in a delicately detailed band are in. Embrace the feminine beauty of this trend and sparkle from every angle.
Three Stone Designs: Three stone designs are particularly meaningful for a remounting project, because the diamonds represent the past, present and future. A three stone design might be the perfect way to create your timeless style.
Colored Gemstone Accents: Colored gemstone accents add vibrancy and sentimental value. Choose a gemstone that’s meaningful to you, such as a birthstone or symbolic stone. For example, blue sapphire represents loyalty.
