Heirloom Jewelry Redesign
A ring from your grandmother that isn't your style. A drawer of broken chains and single earrings. Pieces that carry a story but never leave the box. We redesign heirloom jewelry into something new you'll wear every day, and keep the gold and stones that hold the memories.
We can melt and rework your gold, reset family diamonds and gemstones in a new design, or combine pieces from several people into one. One of our favorite examples is an old 14k gold bracelet we melted down and reworked with sterling silver into a freeform opal pendant. Read From Bracelet to Pendant.
How it works
Show us what you have. Bring your pieces to the studio, or send photos and we'll talk it through by phone. The first consultation is free.
Design it together. We sketch or model a new piece around your gold and stones and refine it with you.
Handmade in Big Bear. Most redesigns take 2 to 6 weeks.
Pick it up or we ship it anywhere in the US.
Custom work starts around $500. The final price depends on the design and how much new material it needs.
Questions
Will I get my own gold back in the new piece? Yes, we work with the metal and stones you bring.
What if there's gold left over? It counts toward your project like cash.
What if there isn't enough gold? We add recycled gold to make up the difference.
Can I mail my jewelry to you? Yes. Ship it by UPS or FedEx to our showroom at 625 Pine Knot Ave, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315.
Can you turn a family diamond into an engagement ring? Yes. See custom engagement rings.
