New year, fresh start.. bigger diamond. We're pretty sure that's how the phrase goes. Along with the typical resolutions (we're looking at you, crash diets), January gets people thinking about updating what they wear and how they express themselves through jewelry. If you’ve been dreaming about a new ring this year, you’re in the right place.
Maybe you’ve worn your engagement ring or favorite diamond piece for years and you want something bigger, brighter, or more meaningful. Maybe you inherited a classic ring that just doesn’t fit your style. Or maybe you’re ready to redesign something you already own into a piece you’ll wear every day. All of these ideas are wonderful reasons to think “New Year, New Ring.”
Here’s how our trade up process works and how it can make 2026 the year you refresh or redesign your jewelry.
Why Consider a Ring Trade Up in the New Year?
A trade up isn’t about saying goodbye to something you love. It’s about celebrating a new chapter and letting your jewelry reflect that change. With our 110% Diamond Trade-Up Policy, you get 110 percent of the original purchase price of your diamond (up to $35,000) when you trade it in toward a new diamond that’s twice the original price or more. That means you can confidently start the new year with something that feels even more like you.
Whether you want a larger center stone, a fresh cut, or a completely new setting, our trade up process makes it easier to begin that journey without losing the value you already invested.
Easy Steps to Start Your Trade Up
First, bring in the ring you already love. Then, we’ll help you find a new diamond that speaks to your style and goals for this year and beyond. All you need is your original sales receipt. Our team will appraise your current diamond and apply 110 percent of its original purchase price toward your new piece.
You’ll leave feeling inspired and excited about what’s next. No stress, no confusion, just sparkle.
Thinking About Resetting Instead of Trading Up?
Maybe you love the diamond in your ring, but the setting doesn’t feel right anymore. That’s a great reason to reset. Ring resetting means taking the diamond from its original setting and placing it into a new design that reflects your taste. This works beautifully when you’ve fallen out of love with the old design or want something more modern.
Resetting an existing diamond into a new setting lets you keep the memories while still moving forward. You might choose a sleek solitaire for everyday wear or add unique accents for something more dramatic. Either way, we make the process easy so you can walk out with a ring you’ll never want to take off.
Redesigning Jewelry: Let Your Story Shine
Redesigning goes beyond resetting a stone. It can include combining elements from multiple pieces, updating heirlooms into modern shapes, or creating a totally original design. If you’ve got old family jewelry tucked away, custom redesigning can make that treasure feel relevant again.
Redesigning lets you honor the past while embracing the present. We’ll work with you step by step, sketching out ideas and helping you choose metals, stones, and styles that match your vision. If you’re starting with something sentimental, we’ll treat it with care and purpose, making sure the end result feels personal and precious.
How to Decide What’s Right for You
Here’s a simple way to think about your options:
- Trade Up if you want a larger diamond or more dazzling centerpiece. You get value from your current piece put toward a new one you’ll love even more.
- Reset if you love your diamond but want it in a completely new setting.
- Custom Redesign if you want to combine pieces, refresh heirlooms, or create something totally one of a kind.
The beauty of all three options is that they let you start fresh without starting from scratch. You’re building on what you already have and making it feel more you.
