For many PriceScopers there are so many reasons and occasions for which to upgrade their engagement rings. Birthdays, anniversaries, births of children, new jobs, and more are all milestones that we often see marked with a boost to the bling.
What we see often is people taking advantage of upgrade programs, but we also see people keeping their old stones. Re-setting the original stone from their engagement ring is a romantic choice and who doesn’t love more pieces?

1. Defeating the Dreaded Diamond Shrinkage Syndrome
Several of us have been there, where the gorgeous diamond that made us so so happy suddenly looks smaller. Every time you look down it seems like it has less finger coverage, and wait, is it losing quality too? Why does my ring look less glamorous? Looking at delightful diamond eye candy online (or in person) can create a sense of comparison. Upgrading can be a very satisfying experience.
2. Your Income And/Or Lifestyle Has Improved
Wanting your ring to reflect your present lifestyle is not unreasonable. There are a lot of people who hold on to the older ring forever because they want to hold on to that particular moment in time. Embracing the now is not better or worse in this regard, but it’s a fun reason for diamond upgrade shopping for sure!
3. Celebrating a Milestone
A diamond upgrade can be a great marker for celebrating a milestone. Adding a new child to the family? You might want to add an additional stone to represent your little one. When you have a big birthday that may be a little intimidating, diamonds may be hard but they can soften the blow. Celebrating an anniversary can be a reflection of your continued commitment. There are so many reasons to celebrate and a glance at your new upgrade will remind you of the milestone event.
PriceScope’s 1-5 star ratings are categorical comparisons with the most thorough, consumer-focused online diamond and jewelry vendors, in categories, we believe reflect our experienced consumer community’s values. Check out PriceScope Jeweler Reviews.
4. Taking Advantage of Upgrade Programs
Getting a great deal is sometimes all the motivation that you need. With some of the trade-in upgrade programs available, it makes it easier to stay within your original budget and upgrade when it works for you. You can build up to that dream ring gradually, and that is a great reason to give it a go!
5. Shopping the Sales
There are sometimes incredible promotions going on, and that is just enough to allow you to treat yourself! When you are upgrading without a trade-in, it’s quite the bonus to catch a sale. You might be able to stretch and get more quality than you had originally budgeted for and that is the win that you need to come and share on PriceScope!
