Diamond upgrade program

Go bigger. Keep the story.

Ready for more sparkle? Trade your Don Key diamond up to a bigger one. We take your stone back, you only pay the difference.

Upgrade rules

  • For diamonds bought from Don Key. Bring your certificate or order number.
  • Upgrades go up in size, within the same style of piece. Want a new style? We'll quote it as custom.
  • You pay the price difference at today's prices, plus a $50 upgrade fee.
  • Gold isn't part of the credit. We reuse your diamond, not the setting.
  • If the bigger stone needs a new setting, it's quoted separately at a discount. It depends on the gold price that day.
  • Stones must be free of chips or damage. We check every stone before we confirm your quote.
  • Studs upgrade as a pair. Pendants upgrade one stone at a time.
  • Your upgraded stone ships with a new Certificate of Authenticity and lifetime care.
Questions

Good to know

How long does an upgrade take?

Usually 1–2 weeks once we have your piece. If you need a new setting, add a few days for casting.

Can I upgrade more than once?

Yes. Every upgrade works the same way, from the size you have today.

What if my piece was a gift?

No problem. Send us the certificate ID from the card in the box, or the order number if you have it.

Can I switch shape when I upgrade?

Often yes, for example round to oval studs. Shape changes usually need a new setting, so we'll quote that with your upgrade.
