Heirloom Redesign
The processHonoring the past. Designed for the present.
Heirloom jewelry carries history, memory, and meaning—but it isn’t always suited to modern wear. Our heirloom redesign process thoughtfully transforms existing pieces into refined, wearable designs that preserve their significance while giving them new life.
Whether you’re reworking a family engagement ring, updating inherited stones, or combining multiple pieces into one meaningful design, each project is approached with respect, transparency, and intention.

Step OneConsultation & Story
Every heirloom redesign begins with understanding its story.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss the history behind your piece, what you love about it, and how you envision wearing it moving forward. We’ll review the existing materials, stones, and settings, and talk through design preferences, lifestyle considerations, and budget parameters.
This conversation guides the entire redesign process.
Step TwoEvaluation & Possibilities
Next, we carefully evaluate your existing jewelry.
Stones are assessed for condition, size, and suitability for reset. Metals are reviewed to determine whether they can be reused, refined, or replaced. From there, we outline design possibilities—whether that means a subtle update, a complete transformation, or incorporating heirloom elements into an entirely new piece.
You’ll receive honest guidance on what is possible and what will best serve the final design.
Step ThreeDesign & Reimagining
Once the direction is established, the redesign takes shape.
Through sketches and digital renderings, we explore modern proportions, settings, and structure—always with respect for the original piece. This stage allows you to visualize how the heirloom will translate into something new, while preserving the elements that matter most.
Refinements are made collaboratively before moving into production.
Step FourCraftsmanship & Final Reveal
Our skilled artisans carefully disassemble and reset stones, construct new settings, and finish each piece with precision and care. Time-honored techniques are used alongside modern craftsmanship to ensure structural integrity, longevity, and beauty.
Final sizing and adjustments are made as needed, and you’ll receive guidance on care and wear. The result is a piece that honors its history while fitting seamlessly into your life today—ready to be worn, layered, and passed on again.
