How it stays yours

Three guarantees, no asterisks.

Setting Credit

The full value of your original setting carries toward your new design — it never depreciates.

No Expiry

Trade up next year, next decade, or for an anniversary years from now. The credit never expires and never decreases.

One Simple Rule

Your new design steps up in value from your original

How it works

Three steps. That's it.

1

Reach out

Email, book a consultation, or message us. Tell us what you're thinking. We'll confirm your setting's credit value on the spot.

2

Design the next one

Use the configurator, work with our designer, or bring a reference. Choose your next diamond, larger than your original — your setting value comes off the price, you pay only the difference.

3

Send the old, wear the new

Once your new ring is in production, we send a prepaid insured label for your original. Your centre diamond returns to you

The Montare Way

A diamond shouldn't be the end of a story
just the start of one.

We don't pretend a ring is forever the same. Life changes. Tastes evolve. Anniversaries pile up. The Lifetime Free Upgrade promise is how we keep your Montare ring honest to who you are now — not who you were when you bought it.

Common Questions

Before you upgrade.

Does the new ring have to cost more than my original?

Yes — your new ring must step up in value from your original; most clients move up in carat. The value of your original setting comes off the price. There's no maximum, and no upgrade premium.

What credit do I receive?

The value of your original setting

Can I upgrade more than once?

Absolutely. Every Montare setting carries its own lifetime credit. Trade up, trade up again, pass one to a family member — the credit stays with the ring.

What condition does the original have to be in?

It needs to be intact — we accept normal wear (scratches, patina, prong wear). We can't accept rings missing stones or with structural damage beyond reasonable repair. If you're unsure, send a photo first.

Can I upgrade a ring I received as a gift?

Yes. The credit follows the ring, not the original purchaser. As long as it's a Montare ring with our certificate, you can upgrade it.

What happens to my original diamond?

It comes back to you. Keep your original centre diamond loose, or let us set it into a 10K gold pendant at no charge — your first stone becomes a keepsake. We reclaim and recast only the original setting in our Toronto workshop.

Is this different from the warranty?

Yes. The lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects (prong tightening, stone resetting). The Free Upgrade program is a separate, voluntary promise — use it whenever you want a different ring, for any reason.
