Can You Upgrade Your Engagement Ring Later? Here's How It Works

Your engagement ring should grow with your story. Whether you're celebrating a milestone anniversary, a promotion, or simply want a fresh look, upgrading your engagement ring is a wonderful way to honor where you’ve been—and where you’re headed.

At James Martin Jewelers, we offer a generous diamond trade-up policy on natural diamonds. As long as your new diamond is at least twice the value of your original one, we’ll give you 100% of your original diamond’s purchase price as a trade-in. It’s a smart way to upgrade without losing the value of your original investment.

Many couples choose to upgrade in subtle ways: a larger center stone, a halo addition, or a completely new setting. Others decide to reset their existing diamond into a pendant and buy a new ring. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each route and help you choose what fits your lifestyle and goals.

It’s also a chance to explore new styles. Maybe you started with a solitaire and now you’re drawn to a vintage look or more sparkle. That’s perfectly normal—and we can help you try on a variety of settings to find your updated favorite.

We’re here to support your entire love story—not just the first chapter. Whether you bought your ring from us originally or not, we’re happy to help you reimagine and refresh it with care, expertise, and love.
