Why You May Need Stone Resetting Services For Your Ring

Jewellery can be entirely decorative in nature, but it can also be rich in sentimental value, especially if an heirloom is passed down through the generations. As such, you may wish to take extra care of special pieces that mean a lot to you, so you can keep them in good condition whilst ensuring that they are suitable for everyday wear.

Whilst preserving the original design of your ring might be your top priority, for others, stone resetting allows for a valuable jewel to be preserved, whilst ensuring that the piece is still wearable. Resetting a stone involves placing the gem into a new setting or into an entirely new ring, transforming the body of the piece whilst safeguarding the valuable jewel.

Read on to find out more about stone resetting, with a look at when you might require this specialist service for your ring.



Securing the Stone

If your ring features a valuable stone, then the last thing you’ll want is for the jewel to fall out without you noticing. Ring settings can degrade over time, either from neglect or from general wear. As such, it may be advisable to reset the stone so that you can guarantee that it is safe and secure.

Deep Cleaning

Rings tend to accumulate dirt and debris over time, where some of this can build up in and around the stone itself. In extreme cases, it may be necessary to remove the jewel in order to complete a proper clean, where you can then choose whether you want to return the stone to its original setting or pick out a new design.

Creating a New Design

Heirloom rings are often treasured possessions, but that doesn’t always mean that they’re the most wearable. You may prefer wearing silver instead of gold, or you might wish for a more modern, minimalistic design. Resetting the stone allows you to preserve the value and integrity of the jewel, whilst choosing a design that you’ll actually want to wear.

Combining Rings

If you’re in possession of two or more rings that you’d like to rework, then you could choose to reset multiple stones to create one new piece. You might prefer this option if you have two rings that you don’t wear, as this will allow you to create one ring that is of a greater value, conserving the jewels at the heart of your pieces.
