impossible to part with it. However,
with the changing fashion trends and
style, damage, repair or further
enrichment in design it is possible

jewelry piece to other.
 It is usually seen that diamond
rings are passed from one generation
to other. In this case, it is
totally one's emotions whether to
reset the diamond from the old ring
into a new ring or a pendent or any
other jewelry piece. People by and
large do not go in for the reset of
family heirloom diamond unless there
are some apparent reasons.
Sometimes, because of obvious
reasons like setting smash up or
ring size issues the gemstone has to
be reset. Also, it is very common to
see that after divorce females tends
to go for diamond reset as they
don't wish to keep any memories from
their past relationships. They
cannot let the diamond go so they
reset the precious stone in pendent
changing into a totally new jewelry
piece having no reminiscences of the
previous marriage. With the help of
modern technologies it is possible
to reset the diamond into any other
jewelry piece without causing any
damage to the precious gem. It is
completely one's own personal
decision to whether reset the
diamond or not.
Diamonds are valuable hence; need to
be handled very carefully. Prior to
changing the jewelry by diamond
reset, it is crucial to first put in
deep thinking as what change is
required and why? For example- Place
colored precious gemstones around
the diamond giving it a more
splendid look or change the yellow
gold setting with white gold or
platinum to give more enhanced
glance to the stone. Also it might
be the case where the present
setting is uncomfortable, the
gemstone knocks against everything
that comes into contact and the
wearer has the fear of cracks to
appear on the precious stone with
the continuous knocking. If the
diamond size is more than one carat
then only it is suggested to go in
for the resetting else it is not
worth the cost and risk involved in
it. This analysis of facts and
thoughts shall enable in taking the
right decision as whether to reset
the diamond or not and the purpose
behind the reset would be achieved
or not.
Once the firm decision is made to
reset the diamond then there are
certain essential steps to be
implemented. The first and foremost
step is to look for the reliable
jeweler who would do the changes in
the jewelry pieces. While selecting
an individual or company for diamond
reset ask for the reports that give
the precise details about the
diamond like the color, inclusions,
carat weight, size and flaws etc.
These specifications would act as
proof that the gemstone is the same
in the new jewelry piece. Also lab
report must be taken to ensure the
reliability of the jeweler. It is
very important to acquire these bona
fide documents before handing over
the precious stone.
Second step involves asking for the
information about the gemstone. [1]
Where shall be the resetting done?
[2] In case it is to be sent to some
other location then what is their
respective reliability? [3] While
the diamond is in the jeweler's
possession, is it insured for theft
or any other damage? [4] The
know-how, skill and certification of
the individual who shall do the
required changes with the stone? [5]
How much time it would take to get
the new jewelry piece with the reset
diamond? [6] Have any other diamond
resetting done in the past or going
on in present? [7] How the resetting
is done? The clarity and frankness
in the answers of these questions
could explain the credibility of the
jeweler.
These two steps would help in
knowing the jeweler and his motives.
In case the jeweler is not willing
to answer these questions or give
the required documents then surely
he is not the right person. His
credibility is doubtful. Hence, it
would be wise not give him the
precious diamond for resetting. If
he is truthful and his intentions
are clear then he would provide all
the asked information and also shall
explain the process of diamond reset
noticeably well to his clients. He
would also suggest the best designs
depending upon the choice of the
wearer.
Third step is to select the suitable
new design. Any design selected must
have the prong setting. This is the
ideal setting as with prongs around
the solitaire makes it safe and well
placed. Always make sure that prongs
are adequately long to hold firmly
the girdle of the diamond. From all
four sides the prongs must be
tightly held against the gemstone.
Stone more than one carat weight is
valuable and expensive thus its
safety in the design setting is very
important to be considered.
The last fourth step is to check the
finished jewelry. Once the final
ring or pendent or any other
selected jewelry piece is handed by
the jeweler after the diamond reset
check for the setting carefully. Use
the magnifying glass to make
definite that the precious gemstone
is placed with the accurate side up
and is in level within the prongs.
Then tally the diamond
specifications with the details
mentioned in the report (the same
report jeweler gave before taking
the diamond for reset). This is to
ensure that the diamond in new
design is the same.
Diamond reset is the mode of
maintaining the interminable beauty
always in accordance with the
fashion. However, style and trend
keeps changing with time. Umpteen
efforts must be taken before
deciding for stone resetting because
no damage should be caused to this
precious gemstone because "Diamond
is the everlasting asset".
