In short
A gemstone swap preview changes the main stone of a design to a new color (colorless, blue, green, red, pink or black) and optionally a new cut (round, oval, emerald, pear or cushion). The metal, setting style, band and accent stones stay the same. One preview costs 15 credits and is a concept, not a gemstone identification.

What Is a Gemstone Swap Preview?
It is an edit of one part of a design: the main stone. The tool finds the center or largest stone in your image and changes its color, and its cut if you choose one. Everything else is told to stay as it was: the metal, the setting style, the band, the accent stones, the engraving, the background and the light.
Makers use it to explore a design before sourcing stones, and sellers use it to show a customer a birthstone or a different color before making a custom piece. A setting that looks quiet with a colorless stone can look bold with a deep blue one.
The colors are described by look, not by gem name. A deep blue preview is not a sapphire, and a colorless preview is not a diamond. The image cannot show a stone’s identity, grade or treatment, so those facts must come from the stone itself and its documentation.

How to Change Stone Color in a Design
- 1
Upload a design with a visible main stone
Use a render or photo where the main stone is sharp and centered. Choose the jewelry type and upload one PNG, JPEG or WebP.
- 2
Choose a color and a cut
Pick a stone color, then Keep current cut or a new one. Add notes such as “keep the side stones colorless” if there are accents.
- 3
Check the rest of the design
Compare the metal, setting, band and accents with your original. Only the main stone should differ. Generate each option you want to compare.

Stone Colors and Birthstone Ring Preview Ideas
The look of each color, with stones commonly associated with it.
| Color option | Looks like | Often associated with | Pairs with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colorless | Clear with bright sparkle | April | Any metal |
| Deep blue | Saturated blue | September | White gold, platinum look |
| Rich green | Slightly bluish green | May | Yellow gold |
| Ruby red | Deep, slightly purplish red | July | Yellow or rose gold |
| Soft pink | Peach-pink | October (pink tones) | Rose gold |
| Black | Glossy, deep black | Modern and unisex designs | White or yellow gold |
05
Gemstone Cut Options in a Preview
A new cut changes the outline, so the setting adapts slightly.
Oval and pear
Elongated outlines that make a finger look longer. Pear shapes need a prong at the point; check it is there.
Emerald cut
A rectangular step cut with long, flat facets. It reads calmer and more architectural than brilliant cuts.
Cushion
A square with rounded corners and a soft, vintage feel. It sits well in halo and four-prong settings.

Design Image Checklist for Stone Swaps
Do
- Use an image where the main stone is sharp
- Keep the setting and prongs visible
- Name any accent stones to keep in the notes
- Use one image for every option you compare
- Label previews as concepts when you share them
Avoid
- Designs where two stones are the same size
- Images with heavy glare on the stone
- Using a preview to name a gemstone
- Selling a swapped image as a stock photo
- Implying a grade, treatment or origin
07
What to Check in Every Stone Swap
Only the main stone should change.
| Check | Good result | Reject if |
|---|---|---|
| Main stone | The chosen color and cut | The wrong stone changed |
| Accent stones | Unchanged count and color | Accents took on the new color |
| Setting | Same style; prongs fit the new outline | Prongs missing or floating |
| Metal | Same color and finish | The metal changed tone |
| Size | Similar visual size | The stone grew or shrank a lot |
| Background | Unchanged | New background or lighting |
08
Where Stone Previews Help
Birthstone jewelry
Show one design in every month’s color without making twelve samples.
Example: a pendant previewed in deep blue for September.
Engagement ring concepts
Compare a center stone shape before you commit to a setting.
Example: one setting with oval, pear and cushion cuts.
Custom orders
Send a customer a preview of their color choice with your quote.
Example: a ring with a soft pink stone in rose gold.
Collection planning
See which colors work together before buying stones.
Example: a stud design in four stone colors.
09
From Stone Preview to Sourcing
The preview starts a conversation; the stone settles it.
Shortlist with previews
Generate two or three options from the same design image and compare them side by side.
Source real stones
Color varies widely within one gem type. Choose the actual stone in person or from documented photos.
Check the setting fit
A new cut may need a different setting or size. Confirm with your bench jeweler or CAD designer.
Photograph the finished piece
List the made piece with real photos, and keep previews labeled as concepts.

Gemstone Swaps: Common Problems and Fixes
Most failed results have a simple cause.
The wrong stone changed
The tool targets the center or largest stone. If two stones are the same size, name the one to change in the notes, for example “change only the center stone”.
Accent stones changed color
Add “keep all side stones colorless and unchanged” to the notes and regenerate.
The new cut does not fit the setting
A big change of outline, such as round to emerald cut, can leave prongs floating. Choose Keep current cut, or a cut close to the original outline.
The color looks unnatural
Very saturated colors can look artificial. Ask for a lighter or deeper tone in the notes, such as “medium blue” or “pale green”.
The stone looks much bigger
Add “same stone size as the original” to the notes. A new cut should keep a similar visual size.
Before you publish
A Color Preview Is Not a Gemstone Identification
The image shows a color and a cut, not a gem. It cannot show whether a stone is natural, lab-grown or simulated, its grade, treatment or origin. Those facts come from the stone and its documentation.
A swapped image is a concept. Do not present it as a photograph of a piece in stock or name a gemstone based on it.
Questions
Gemstone Swap Preview FAQ
How does the gemstone swap preview work?
Upload a design image, choose a stone color and a cut (or keep the current cut), and generate. The model changes only the main stone and keeps the metal, setting, band and accent stones. You compare the concept with the original.
Can I change stone color without changing the cut?
Yes. Choose Keep current cut, and only the color of the main stone changes. This gives the most faithful preview.
Can I make a birthstone ring preview?
Yes. Pick the color that matches the birthstone you plan to use, for example deep blue for September. The preview shows a color, not the gem itself, so source the real stone before you sell the piece.
Will the accent stones change too?
They should not. The tool changes only the main stone. Add “keep the side stones colorless” to the notes for designs with many accents, and check the result.
Does a blue preview mean sapphire?
No. Colors are described by look. The preview cannot identify, grade or certify a gemstone.
Which designs work best?
Designs with one clear main stone: solitaires, three-stone rings, single-stone pendants and studs. Designs where several stones are the same size are harder to target.
How much does a gemstone swap preview cost?
Each image costs 15 credits on the default Fast setting, including your reference photo. New accounts that use Google sign-in or a Gmail address get 20 free credits, enough for one image. Free-credit images carry a watermark and are for personal use; use paid credits for store and marketplace images.
How long are my gemstone previews kept?
Your upload is private and scheduled for deletion after one day. On a free account, generated images stay in My Creations for 14 days; paid plans and credit packs keep them longer.
