Many people own beautiful jewelry they simply no longer wear. Perhaps you inherited your grandmother's diamond ring, have an engagement ring you would like to update, or own several pieces of jewelry that no longer fit your personal style.
At Gems & Jewels Fine Jewelry in Long Beach, we specialize in custom jewelry redesign, remounting, and restoration, transforming jewelry you already own into something new while preserving the stones, memories, and meaning behind the original piece.
What Is Jewelry Redesign?
Jewelry redesign allows us to use some or all of the materials from an existing piece to create a new design. Instead of leaving meaningful jewelry unworn in a drawer, you can often incorporate diamonds, gemstones, and precious metals into pieces that better suit your style today.
Depending on the piece and condition, we may be able to reuse:
- Diamonds
- Sapphires, rubies, and other gemstones
- Gold
- Plantimum
- Pendants
- Rings
- Earrings
- Brooches
- Family and heirloom jewelry
Modernize an Heirloom Without Losing Its Meaning
Heirloom jewelry carries a history that cannot be replaced. That does not mean it has to remain exactly as it was originally made.
A grandmother's diamond ring might become a modern pendant. A dated engagement ring can be transformed into a contemporary setting. You can even combine stones from several family pieces into one meaningful custom design.
Our goal is to preserve the elements that matter while creating jewelry you will actually enjoy wearing.
Reset Your Existing Diamonds and Gemstones
One of the most popular forms of jewelry redesign is resetting an existing diamond or gemstone into a new mounting.
If you already own the center stone, you may not need to purchase another diamond. Instead, we can design a setting around your existing stone using yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, or platinum.
You can also add accent diamonds or colored gemstones to completely change the look of the finished piece.
Turn a Ring Into Something Completely Different
Jewelry redesign is not limited to changing one ring setting for another. A ring can become a pendant. A brooch can become a bracelet. Cufflinks can become earrings or pendants that family members can share.
When sentimental jewelry is involved, a creative redesign can allow several family members to enjoy a piece of the original.
Custom Jewelry Designed Around What You Already Own
Before you sell, store, or give away jewelry you no longer wear, bring it to Gems & Jewels Fine Jewelry. Sometimes a simple repair is all it takes. Other pieces may benefit from restoration, a new mounting, or a completely new custom design. Our Long Beach jewelry team can examine your jewelry, discuss what we can reuse, and help you explore the possibilities.
Bring your jewelry to our Long Beach showroom and discover what it could become.
