What Are The Rules For Upgrading A Wedding Ring?

Your wedding ring is a symbol of eternal love and commitment – a physical reminder of the vows to your partner that you have promised to keep and uphold forever. But as your love story unfolds, the desire to upgrade your wedding band or engagement ring might emerge. While the sentiment behind your first ring is irreplaceable, a nicely-timed and beautifully-done upgrade can also signify the evolution of your relationship and the growth of your love.

When Should You Upgrade Your Wedding Ring?

You might wonder when the “right time” is to upgrade a wedding ring. Some people decide to upgrade on significant anniversaries, like the 5th, 10th, or even 20th. But truthfully, there is no rule set in stone. Some couples may even use upgraded rings to commemorate milestones like the birth of a child, or as a way to commemorate being more financially stable than when you first said, "I do".

Ultimately, it is a wholly personal decision that should resonate with you and your partner, and the most important thing is that this decision is mutual and reflects the evolving journey of your love story.

How Can You Upgrade Your Wedding Ring?

When you think 'upgrading a wedding ring', you might imagine a bigger diamond or a different cut. However, the possibilities are endless! From adding more stones to switching up the setting, the world of wedding ring upgrades is vast and exciting.

1. Look at more than just size

A popular option is to increase the size or change the cut of your diamond. Yet, remember - bigger isn't always better. The emphasis should be on the quality of the stone, not just its size. With Love & Co, a leading diamond specialist in Singapore, you can rest assured you’re receiving a high-quality diamond in your upgraded wedding band.

2. Consider a twist on traditional silhouettes

Another way to upgrade your wedding ring is by introducing a new style, such as a twisted ring band. With Love & Co's LVC Desirio Cross Wedding Band in White Gold with Dual Mixed Finish or LVC Purete Bliss Wedding Band in Platinum, you can elevate your simple band to an intricate piece of art that better reflects your flourishing love.

3. Change up the finish

You can also upgrade your wedding band by changing the ring's finish. Matte wedding rings, like the LVC Soleil Wedding Band in Rose Gold with a Hammered Finish and LVC Soleil Wedding Band in Rose Gold with a Center Diamond, offer a sophisticated and modern look for a contemporary upgrade. If you want something unique, this could be the perfect choice for you.

Other popular selections for a wedding ring upgrade include the LVC Promise Anniversary Wedding Band Full Encrusted with Round Brilliant Diamonds and LVC Promise Trio Wedding Band with Three Brilliant Diamonds from our Signature Promise collection. Inspired by how a bolt and nut, each ring bears five grooves symbolising the values of love, devotion, commitment, bond, and happiness. Immaculately polished diamonds add an extra sparkle for a truly bold statement, reflecting the depth of your bond and commitment to one another.

4. Opt for a whole new look

Last, but certainly not least, you could completely change up the silhouette of your existing band. Eternity wedding bands like the LVC Petit Precieux Desire Diamond Wedding Band come adorned with a complete loop of diamonds that symbolise never-ending love and make for a stunningly timeless upgrade. Or if you prefer a simple and classic wedding band, explore different materials like with the LVC Desirio Barrel Wedding Band in Rose Gold to give your everyday wear an exciting refresh.

Love & Co.’s newly-launched Say Love™ diamond rings also stand out for their breathtaking beauty. Each round brilliant cut diamond has been meticulously crafted and shaped to nestle a heart-shaped reflection at its core, manifesting a subtle yet unmistakable declaration of modern love. If you’re looking for a way to say “I love you” without words, look no further.
