For the client who has already found their perfect center stone or is looking to breathe new life into a family heirloom, Diamond Source NYC offers an extensive collection of premium semi-mount engagement rings. A semi-mount is a ring that is complete with side stones and intricate metalwork but lacks the center diamond, providing the structural and aesthetic foundation for your final masterpiece. Located in the world-renowned New York Diamond District, we provide the highest quality settings that allow you to take the creative lead. Our semi-mounts bridge the gap between ready-to-wear jewelry and fully bespoke design, offering a sophisticated path to a personalized ring that meets your exact specifications.
Unrivaled Versatility for Every Diamond Shape
One of the primary advantages of selecting a semi-mount from Diamond Source NYC is the sheer variety of head configurations available to accommodate different diamond geometries. Whether you possess a classic round brilliant, a sharp-cornered princess cut, or a romantic heart-shaped stone, our settings are designed to be adaptable. We offer semi-mounts with interchangeable heads or adjustable prongs, ensuring that your center stone—regardless of its carat weight or dimensions—is seated securely and displayed at the optimal height. This versatility ensures that your unique gem is perfectly integrated into a high-fashion setting that looks as though it was built specifically for that stone.
Elevating Heirloom Diamonds with Modern Settings
Many of our clients come to 20 West 47th Street with a cherished diamond passed down through generations that requires a more contemporary or secure home. A semi-mount is the ideal solution for modernizing an heirloom while preserving its sentimental value. At Diamond Source NYC, we specialize in helping you select a setting that honors the vintage character of an older cut—such as an Old European or Mine cut—while providing the structural integrity of modern New York craftsmanship. By transitioning an older stone into a new pavé, halo, or three-stone semi-mount, you create a beautiful bridge between your family’s history and your own future.
The Luxury of Precision Side-Stone Matching
At Diamond Source NYC, we believe that the "supporting cast" of diamonds should be just as spectacular as the lead. Our semi-mount rings feature accent stones—whether they are baguettes, pears, or micro-pavé rounds—that are hand-selected for their exceptional brilliance and color consistency. When you choose a semi-mount from our showroom, you are guaranteed that the side stones have been calibrated to the highest standards of the Diamond District. This attention to detail ensures that when your center stone is finally set, the entire piece exhibits a uniform, high-wattage glow that is the hallmark of a true luxury engagement ring.
Craftsmanship and Finishing Touches in Manhattan
The final step of the semi-mount process is the professional setting of your diamond, a task handled with precision by our on-site master jewelers. Beyond the stones, our semi-mounts are available in an array of precious metals including 14k, 18k, and the most durable platinum. We offer a variety of finishing touches, from high-polish surfaces to intricate hand-engraving and milgrain edging. By choosing a semi-mount at Diamond Source NYC, you are not just buying a ring frame; you are engaging in a professional jewelry-making process. We ensure that your center stone is set with the utmost care, resulting in a seamless, durable, and breathtaking piece of jewelry that is uniquely yours.
