So I know this isn't quite what you're talking about, but my dad bought my mom a new wedding set for Christmas a few years ago for their 35th anniversary. Her original engagement ring had been sized and resized so much the band snapped and she couldn't wear it anymore. He had the local jeweler (the same place where he'd bought the original set 35 years previously) reset the diamond in a pendant.
The new set he bought was considerably larger, so in a sense she did upgrade, but still has her original diamond to wear. If I were ever to "upgrade", I would want something like that done to my diamond.
