The Lily Arkwright Lifetime Diamond Upgrade

At Lily Arkwright, we believe jewellery should evolve as your story does. That is why every diamond purchased with us comes with our Lifetime Diamond Upgrade service, a unique policy designed to give you flexibility, confidence and freedom for the future.

Whether you are marking an anniversary, celebrating a milestone or simply ready for something new, our lifetime diamond upgrade allows your beloved engagement ring to grow alongside you!

 

What Is the Lifetime Diamond Upgrade?

The Lily Arkwright Lifetime Diamond Upgrade allows you to trade in your original diamond at any point in the future and receive credit towards a new diamond of greater value. This applies to both natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds, ensuring that your investment is never fixed or limiting. Your diamond is not a final chapter. It is the beginning of a journey that can continue for a lifetime.

How the Diamond Upgrade Works

Upgrading your diamond is designed to be simple and transparent. Natural diamonds can be upgraded to a new stone worth at least one and a half times the original value. Lab grown diamonds can be upgraded to a new stone worth at least double the original value. Once your original diamond has been inspected and approved, you will receive credit for its full original retail value.

If your new diamond does not fit your original setting, we also offer a precious metal credit for your mount. This ensures that nothing goes to waste and that your upgrade feels seamless from start to finish.

Why We Offer a Lifetime Diamond Upgrade

Life changes, and jewellery should be able to change with it. Many clients choose to upgrade their diamond to celebrate wedding anniversaries, personal milestones, growing families or simply a new chapter in life. Our lifetime upgrade removes the pressure to choose the biggest or most perfect diamond at the start. Instead, it allows you to choose what feels right now, knowing that you can always grow later.

It reflects our belief that love evolves, and your jewellery should be able to do the same.

A Simple Upgrade Example

Imagine you purchased a lab grown diamond for £500. Years later, you decide to upgrade to a new diamond worth £1,000. Under the Lifetime Diamond Upgrade, your original £500 is credited towards the new stone and you simply pay the difference. If your original setting cannot be reused, you will also receive a metal credit to put towards a new mount.

Your original purchase therefore remains part of your story even when upgrading, rather than something left behind!

A Few Things to Know

To keep the upgrade process fair and transparent, your diamond must be in good condition and accompanied by its original grading certificate from a recognised authority such as GIA or IGI. The upgrade applies to diamonds only and does not include coloured gemstones or moissanite. All upgrades are subject to inspection and approval by our workshop to ensure quality standards are maintained.
