The Power of Custom Design "Before and After"

Do you have jewelry that you have inherited or purchased years ago that is outdated or you don’t enjoy wearing?  You can take that jewelry and sell it at a pawn shop for scrap value, or keep the value of the stones and metal and turn it into a beautiful piece of jewelry.  Custom design gives you the opportunity to create something new that fits your style that you will cherish for many years to come. 

One of our clients recently came in with three rings all given by relatives.  The rings were outdated and she didn't enjoy wearing them, but they still held high sentimental value for her.  We were able to combine all the stones from her old rings into a new design that she can enjoy wearing, yet still hold the same sentimental value. 

To celebrate their anniversary, our clients wanted to replace their original engagement ring using their original 0.50 ct marquise diamond.  Our goal was to create a dramatic and substantial looking contemporary ring.  Their concern was that the original diamond not be overpowered by a bolder setting.  The solution was to create a design using pave-set round diamonds under the marquise to achieve the illusion of a larger diamond and balancing out the ring.

A client came in with a precious imperial topaz that she has gotten reset twice, but was never satisfied with the results.  She had always dreamed about having a hand crafted antique style ring, so we designed a unique Victorian style ring for her to showcase her stone.  The stone was not perfectly cut and had a window effect.  We were able to mask this window effect through the use of the setting.  She not only was able to get the antique ring she had always wanted, but was also able to finally enjoy her stones in a design she loved.
