Tracie

Tracie was touched to inherit a ring from her beloved Grandma, but she found that its resemblance to an engagement ring was too strong. Determined to create a special piece that she could wear every day and honor her Grandma’s memory, we embarked on a transformative journey. By resetting the precious heirloom into a secure and elegant bezel setting, we ensured both its safety and its timeless beauty. To further elevate the design, we carefully selected a chunky cable link chain that perfectly complemented the bezel-set centerpiece. Now, Tracie can proudly wear this stunning bracelet, embracing the cherished memories of her Grandma while confidently expressing her personal style.

Jill

When a daughter inherited her late mother’s jewelry, she discovered that the pieces didn’t align with her personal style. To honor her mom’s memory and create pieces they would cherish, we reset the stones into two exquisite rings—one for her and one for her sister. We incorporated a beautiful London Blue Topaz, her mom’s birthstone, and also crafted stunning diamond stud earrings. Now, they can wear these treasures daily, carrying their mom’s love and legacy with them.

EMILY

The heartfelt connection between Grandma and her granddaughter grew even stronger as they both shared the same birth month, March. Grandmother passed down her beloved birthstone ring, a cherished heirloom that the granddaughter had always admired. With meticulous care, we cleaned up the stone and designed a custom vintage-inspired engagement ring that perfectly suited her style. The most touching part? Grandma, still alive and radiant, witnessed the remarkable transformation unfold. A precious reminder of their special bond.

Camerin

Camerin’s grandmother left her a beautiful journey style diamond necklace, but she rarely wore necklaces herself. Seeking a way to honor her grandmother’s memory while incorporating her own style, Camerin turned to our expert designer, Brittany. Together, they decided to repurpose the precious stones and create a meaningful ring that she could wear every day. Inspired by the symbolism of the circle of life, the ring was crafted with a stunning spiral design, representing the everlasting bond between generations. The choice of rose gold added a touch of warmth and personal flair, perfectly reflecting Camerin’s unique style. Now, she can cherish her grandmother’s legacy and carry it with her wherever she goes.

LYNNE

Lynne found herself in a surprising situation when her fiancé proposed with a white gold diamond solitaire engagement ring, nearly identical to her late mother’s yellow gold diamond solitaire ring that she never wore. Wanting to honor her mother’s memory while creating a unique piece of her own, she turned to our expert designer, Brittany, for guidance. To her delight, Brittany discovered that both rings were remarkably similar in size and quality, making them suitable for integration into a single ring. Inspired by the possibilities, Lynne chose a distinctive bypass design for her new engagement ring, symbolizing the intertwining of her past and future. To make the dream a reality, she even utilized the gold from both rings as a trade-in, helping to offset the cost of the custom creation. Now, Lynne proudly wears a one-of-a-kind engagement ring that carries both the sentimental value of her mother’s ring and the joy of her own love story, a true testament to the power of transformation and personalization.

Barb

In this captivating before and after photo, we witness the stunning transformation of Barb’s original solitaire engagement ring and a cherished ring inherited from her grandmother, accompanied by several small diamonds remaining from one of Brittany’s recent design projects. Seeking a unique and meaningful piece, Barb approached Brittany with a specific vision in mind. Armed with a photo she had come across in a magazine, Barb longed for a ring that would encapsulate the essence of past, present, and future. With her remarkable expertise, Brittany skillfully combined all the diamonds to create a breathtaking three-stone design. Each diamond carries its own story, representing cherished memories from the past, the beauty of the present moment, and the promising journey that lies ahead.

CINDY

In a delightful twist of fate, Cindy’s transformation journey began when she inherited her late Mother’s wedding ring. Longing for a simpler design suitable for everyday wear, Cindy reached out to Brittany for a re-design. Little did we know that the original ring had been crafted by none other than Brittany’s late father, Len, who had reset family heirloom diamonds into the captivating “before” ring. To honor Cindy’s desire for a more understated aesthetic, we carefully curated a sleek band using only five diamonds, creating a low-profile piece that exudes timeless elegance. As fate would have it, two of the smaller diamonds couldn’t be salvaged due to damage. However, from the remaining four stones, we crafted exquisite diamond earrings for Cindy’s beloved daughters, creating a treasured connection to their late grandmother.

Amy

For nearly three decades, Amy kept her late Mother’s ring tucked away in her jewelry box, untouched and out of sync with her personal style. Determined to give the heirloom new life, Amy ventured into our store, where she discovered a ring that resonated with her aesthetic preferences. This particular ring boasted nine dainty stones, serving as the perfect canvas for customization. Regrettably, two of the stones had suffered damage over the years, rendering them unusable. Utilizing our advanced design software, Brittany modified the ring to accommodate Amy’s remaining five diamonds, resulting in a stunning rose gold stackable creation. Thrilled with the outcome, Amy eagerly anticipates the opportunity to breathe fresh life into additional diamonds from her old jewelry, envisioning an exquisite assortment of stackable rings that will celebrate cherished memories and add a touch of elegance to her everyday style.

FRAN

Witness the captivating transformation of Fran’s beloved engagement ring, a delicate 1/4ct solitaire. For their 35th anniversary, Fran’s husband surprised her with a 1ct solitaire from our collection. Not stopping there, he returned for their 40th anniversary, adding a stunning channel-set anniversary band to complete the set. Although Fran cherished her new ensemble, she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sadness seeing her original ring tucked away in the jewelry box. Seeking Brittany’s guidance, Fran embarked on a creative journey to honor the past while embracing the present and future. With expert craftsmanship, a second 1/4ct diamond was gracefully incorporated into the design, transforming the ring into a unique symbol of the past, present, and future. The original stone found its place as a radiant side stone, while the magnificent upgrade took its rightful position in the center.

Whitney

Witness the remarkable transformation of Whitney’s cherished wedding band, gifted to her by her mother as a token of love and support as she embarked on her own journey. For years, Whitney adorned the ring, but couldn’t help but feel it was too bulky, concealing the exquisite diamonds within its design. Additionally, Whitney had always been drawn to the elegance of rose gold. Several years later, as a meaningful anniversary gift, Whitney reached out to Brittany, the visionary designer, to breathe new life into her beloved ring. Brittany meticulously crafted a sleeker, more refined design that elegantly showcased the diamonds while ensuring a secure setting that complemented Whitney’s petite size 5 frame. Recognizing the importance of enhancing the diamond’s brilliance, Brittany recommended setting them in white gold, creating the illusion of a larger size, while tastefully incorporating a two-tone element by embracing a bottom half of rose gold. The incorporation of the beloved euro shank with its flat bottom feature, a detail that Whitney had grown fond of, provided stability, preventing the ring from spinning and maintaining its flawless presentation.

Judy

Embrace the captivating story of Judy, who inherited a collection of cherished rings from her beloved family. However, she recognized that two of these treasured pieces did not align with her personal style, prompting her to seek the artistic expertise of Brittany. Judy entrusted Brittany with the task of transforming these heirlooms but questioned if they were worth the cost of a custom designed piece. Brittany reassured Judy that while her stone were genuine the true value transcended any appraisal, as their priceless worth stemmed from the heartfelt connections they held. With this understanding, Judy enthusiastically embraced the custom design journey. Upon the completion of the transformation, Brittany delighted Judy with an insurance appraisal meticulously outlining the carat weight, quality and replacement value of her new piece.
