New Beginnings: Your Guide to Replacing an Engagement Ring
When you first lay eyes on that engagement ring, you’re mesmerized. The elegant setting, the fiery diamond- everything is so perfect that you swear you’ll never take it off.
Much as you love your ring, there may come a time when you want to replace it. For example:
- Your tastes may have changed: instead of a vintage ring with filigree detailing, you’re drooling over solitaires that let the diamond take center stage.
- Your personal wealth has changed and you want to celebrate a milestone anniversary by swapping out your 1 carat diamond for a 3 carat sparkler.
- The ring may be lost or stolen. If you can’t find it, you’re looking at replacing it.
Whatever your reason for wanting a new engagement ring, we’re going to show you how to find the perfect replacement. Best of all, you can design it yourself from the comfort of your home!
What Kind of Engagement Ring Inspires You?
Sure, upgrading or replacing your ring is a major bummer and even upgrading it can make you a little wistful. After all, this is the ring you were wearing when you originally said, “I do.” But look at it this way- you now have an exciting opportunity to buy one that exceeds your expectations.
Should You Choose the Same Design as Your Old Ring?
If you were totally in love with the look and feel of your original engagement ring, there’s nothing wrong with finding an identical replacement, especially if the ring was part of a matching set with your wedding band. No matter how unique the setting or the stone may have been, you can rebuild it online- that’s practically guaranteed!
Or Go With Something Entirely Different?
You’ve decided to upgrade? That’s great! Recent years have witnessed a burst of creativity when it comes to engagement rings, and you can pick one that inspires the same level of excitement you felt when your bae popped the question.
If you’ve decided on a brand new ring, start by considering your personal style preferences. Do you lean towards simple and classic designs like the solitaire or do you prefer bolder rings that make a statement? Do you have an active lifestyle that calls for a more durable setting or can you wear pretty much anything? Here are some additional tips!
Explore Gemstone Options
Engagement rings traditionally feature diamonds, but many gemstones can be used instead. Princess Diana opted for a 12-carat Ceylon sapphire and Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay said ‘yes’ to a pale pink cushion cut morganite. If you love it, go for it!
The Twig is a nature-inspired masterpiece that would look truly stunning with a diamond or a gemstone like an emerald or sapphire. The ring's delicate, twig-like band evokes the essence of growth and new beginnings, making it a symbolic choice for those embarking on the journey of love and family. A lab-grown emerald, with its vivid green color and ethically sourced origin, perfectly complements the nature-inspired theme, representing the lushness of nature and the depth of emotions.
Determine Metal Preferences
Decide on the metal that best suits your style and budget. Common choices include platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. Each one has its unique characteristics, such as durability, color, and hypoallergenic properties. Although personal preference should guide your choice, you also want to be practical: if you have an active lifestyle or work with your hands, you may want to choose a more durable metal like platinum. Keep in mind that ‘durable’ doesn’t mean dull- check out this gorgeous platinum sheen on The Lindsey! The band features marquise and round cut diamonds packed in shared prongs, adding to the brilliance of the metal.
Explore Setting Style
Explore different setting styles to find one that appeals to you. Options range from classic solitaire settings to more elaborate styles like the following:
With each setting style, the center stone is showcased in a unique way. Research different settings to determine which one best reflects your desired aesthetic.
Determine Ring Size
If you don't know your ring size, you can visit a local jeweler for a professional measurement. Alternatively, you can measure your existing rings, use online ring size guides or request a ring sizer from the Keyzar. Getting the correct ring size, especially for an opulent beauty like The Rebecca, is crucial to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
Gather Inspiration
Browse through online platforms, such as jewelry websites, social media, and wedding blogs, to gather inspiration for your replacement ring. Do you want something bold and flashy a la Kim Kardashian or a more modest ring like Mila Kunis? When working with online jewelers to design your ring, this will help you communicate your preferences.
