When to Remount a Diamond Ring?

If you have a stunning ring already, you have many choices in hand. Remounting the existing ring is a great way to uphold the diamond for a longer period of time in a newer or in a different style than what it was before. This can be done for a variety of reasons, but when is it the right time to do so?
Stylize: When you want to get a new design for your old wedding or engagement ring, you can preserve the diamond and simply change its mounting style.
Preservation: At times when you have an antique or a vintage ring that you want to clean up and help it get back its old charm, then remounting is a good option.
Merging: If you want to merge an old ring that is possibly a heirloom, with a new one, then remounting may prove helpful.

Remount Setting Designs

There are various designs available, and almost all of them can be used for this particular purpose. They are:
Invisible Setting: In this modern setting style, the gem is held up in a metal cup which is attached to the ring band, without anything holding or covering its face.
Prong Setting: This is a classic style in which metal prongs are made to hold the dazzling stone from the base. However, this may invite repairing, as prongs tend to wear out over the years.
Channel Setting: If one has to set multiple diamonds in the same ring.
For example, merging two rings together, you can do it using this setting, as it gives the diamonds a unique impeded look.
Bezel Setting: This type makes the diamond look larger, as the metal is wrapped around the brilliant stone. This makes the metal hold on to the gemstone firmly.
