Before and After of the Week! Our client brought in this old worn-out wedding set, having lost the center stone and were hoping to bring new life into this once lovely wedding set. Our clients wanted to upgrade to a larger diamond, choosing a lovely 1ct diamond. To accommodate replacing the smaller original stone with a much larger stone, we had to replace the head that holds the stone in place. The new head is much larger than the original head, so we had to cut the span or bridge between the rows of side diamonds, and open the ring up from the top. After we got the new head in place, we sized both rings to our clients new preferred size for comfort. To finish up this job we retipped 20 prongs across both rings, set the amazing new diamond, and then polished everything up to a showroom new quality shine. This wedding set dazzles with a new 1 carat showstopper diamond in the center and after the retips, sizing and full polish, it looks better than ever!
