How to Upgrade Your Engagement Ring at 5, 10 & 20 Years

How to Upgrade Your Engagement Ring at 5, 10 & 20 Years

By Rakshith Kalapala On

Your engagement ring should fit your life today—and ten, twenty years from now. From anniversary bands and ring guards to resizing, remounting, and diamond upgrades, here’s how to refresh your ring at every milestone while preserving the sentiment you love.

Quick Tip: Book a complimentary inspection & cleaning twice a year to keep stones secure and shine at its best.

5 Years: Simple, Stackable Upgrades

Anniversary Bands (Stackables)

Add subtle sparkle without changing your original set.
Why it works: stackables let you personalize with metal color, diamond or gemstone accents, and width—all while keeping your engagement ring center stage.

How to choose

  • Match or contrast the metal with your current setting

  • Pick a profile (straight/contoured) that hugs your ring

  • Consider daily wear—choose low-profile bands for active hands

Professional Ring Repair & Cleaning

Daily lotions, soap, and oils can dull your ring; prongs can wear and stones can loosen.
What we do: tighten prongs, polish out scratches, deep clean, and flag any invisible damage.

10 Years: Add Drama & Perfect the Fit

Ring Guards / Enhancers

Keep the ring you love—surround it with sparkle. A ring guard (a connected double band) frames your original ring and elevates the look.

Pro tips

  • Always try the guard with your ring to ensure a perfect seat

  • Choose a guard that matches your ring’s height, shape, and prong style

  • Consider a contoured or shadow band if your setting is unique

Resizing (Comfort & Security)

Bodies change; rings should still fit.
When to resize: spinning ring, tight over knuckle, or noticeable gap at the base.

What to expect

  • Exact sizing by a bench jeweler

  • Polishing and structural check included

  • Typical turnaround: a few days (complex pavé may take longer)

20 Years: Statement Changes With Sentiment Intact

Remounting & Resetting

Honor your original diamond by resetting it into a fresh design—or choose a new center stone while preserving your original in a pendant or right-hand ring.

Popular directions

  • Upgrade to a hidden-halo or cathedral setting

  • Switch metal tone (yellow ↔ white ↔ rose)

  • Add side stones or a diamond band for extra presence

Diamond Upgrade

With a different budget than years ago, consider:

  • Size/quality upgrades with modern cut precision

  • Lab-grown or natural options to meet your goals

  • New appraisal and insurance updates after changes

FAQs

What’s the difference between a ring guard and an enhancer?
Both surround your engagement ring; guards are typically a connected double band, while enhancers can be contoured or jacket-style pieces that “hug” the ring.

Can every ring be resized?
Most solid gold and platinum rings can. Full-eternity pavé and tension settings may be limited—bring it in for options like sizing beads or liners.

How often should I clean my engagement ring?
At home monthly with mild soap and a soft brush; professionally twice per year for deep cleaning and prong checks.

Will remounting damage my diamond?
No—done by a professional, stones are safely removed and reset. You’ll receive an updated appraisal after the work.

Do I need to re-appraise after an upgrade?
Yes. New settings or center stones change value; update your appraisal and insurance.
