Upgrading to Tacori Engagement Ring

We know you'd be happy with a twist tie as long as you're married to Mr. Right, but if your engagement ring isn't the fairy-tale bauble you've always dreamed of, consider trading up.

WHY UPGRADE?

Trading in your rock has become more popular than ever -- from stone swapping to adding more bling to your existing ring. "The trend with young adults is that they'll get a $10,000 ring, and a few years later, they'll want it to be larger," explains Debi Wexler of whiteflash.com. "It's a way of showing their appreciation for the longevity of the relationship."

HERE'S WHY MANY CHOOSE TO UPGRADE

-- Size: You love the shape of your diamond, but you came down with DSS (Diamond Shrinkage Syndrome). The more you look at it, the, uh, smaller it seems to get.

-- Style: Your mate chose a pear-shaped cut in a gold setting, but you've always had your heart set on a princess cut in a platinum setting. Let's face it: you're not sporting "The Rachel" haircut anymore, right? Why not wear a ring that reflects your style?

-- Stones: You'd love to add more stones to your original ring to amp up the sparkle.

-- Setting: You were given an heirloom from one of your or his relatives that you want to reset or turn into a necklace or keepsake. Now you'd rather have a more modern, everyday ring that reflects your individuality and doesn't feel like the old "family stone."

WORK WITH YOUR ORIGINAL JEWELER

Before you even think about upgrading your ring, find out what your jeweler's policy is. It can vary: for example, whiteflash.com offers a lifetime policy on their branded diamonds, which allows you to trade them in for the full value you paid; Tacori applies a percentage of credit (usually around 75 percent) toward purchasing a new ring; and De Beers will upgrade your ring depending on an on-site appraisal of its current value.

Also, factor in setting costs. An upgrade from a 1.5-carat to a 2-carat won't fit into your original setting, so you'll need to get a new one, which will increase the price of your upgrade. You don't have to toss the original setting, though; consider putting a colored stone in it for a right-hand ring.
