Resetting - Unworn Inherited Diamond Ring to New Engagement Ring
An inherited ring, carried forward into a new chapter.
The Story Behind This Reset:
My client had inherited a diamond ring from her family — beautiful stones with real meaning behind them. She wanted to use three of those diamonds to create a new engagement ring, and she’d already found her inspiration: a three stone trellis design she’d seen on our site. We worked together to make it entirely her own.
She came in thinking yellow gold throughout, but as the design evolved, she fell in love with the idea of platinum for the diamond setting paired with an 18K yellow gold band — a combination that felt classic and modern at once. We removed the stones from the original ring, built a CAD rendering for her approval, and set the pear shaped diamonds facing outward to maximize width and presence. The result is a ring that feels brand new while carrying something irreplaceable inside it.
