The Montare Promise
Your ring,
for life — and beyond.
Trade up your setting whenever you're ready and apply 100% of its value toward a new design of greater value. Keep your diamond — or let us set it into a complimentary pendant. The credit never expires.
Book a Consultation →How it stays yours
Three promises, in plain terms.
Full Setting Credit
The full value of your original setting counts toward your next one — zero depreciation on the mount, ever.
No Expiry
Trade up next year, next decade, or for an anniversary years from now. The credit never expires and never decreases.
One Simple Condition
Any Montare ring qualifies — your new design simply needs to exceed the value of your original setting. No grading inspection, no fees, no questions about why.
How it works
Three steps. That's it.
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.
Design the next one
Use the configurator, work with our designer, or bring a reference. Apply your credit to the new ring — pay the difference, nothing more.
Send the old, wear the new
We send a prepaid, insured label for your original ring. Your diamond comes back to you — keep it, or have us set it into a pendant — while your new one is made. 2 to 4 weeks later, it's on your hand.
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 Setting 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.
Is there a minimum I have to spend on the new ring?◆
The one condition: your new design needs to exceed the value of your original. Most clients step up in carat, complexity, or metal — apply your setting credit and simply pay the difference.
How much credit do I get?◆
100% of your setting's value — the full price you originally paid for the mount and band, with no depreciation. Your centre diamond isn't part of the credit: you keep it, or we set it into a pendant for you.
Can I upgrade more than once?◆
Absolutely. Every Montare ring you own 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 old ring?◆
Your diamond is always yours — keep it loose, or let us set it into a pendant. We recast the metal from your old setting in our Toronto workshop, so nothing is wasted.
Is this different from the warranty?◆
Yes. The lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects (prong tightening, stone resetting). The Setting Upgrade program is a separate, voluntary promise — use it whenever you want a different ring, for any reason.
