However, in some cases, removing the
center stone or
diamond from
diamond engagement rings is not recommended because it might cause damage to the
rings.
Tension set diamond engagement rings are one of the most favored choices of brides. The
diamond in these
rings is tightly held in place by the metal’s
tension. It is true that you will be able to remove the
diamond from the
ring, but the bad news is that securely resetting the
diamond to the
ring is a difficult process. Fortunately, the
center stone in
tension set diamond rings is well exposed, which means that
GIA and other grading institutions will be easily able to
grade them.
Likewise, if you own antique or vintage huge
diamond wedding rings, you should
never remove the
center stone from these
rings. This is because removing the
diamond from the delicate
setting of the
ring may result in serious damages and it may even make the
ring unsuitable for use.
