Before & After: Cocktail Ring Reset Into Stacking Rings For Kathleen
Dissatisfied with the original ring's style and fit, Kathleen opted to repurpose its Old Mine Cut diamonds. By transforming the largest diamond into her engagement ring centerpiece and crafting smaller diamonds into elegant earrings, she was left with three uniquely shaped stones. Seeking versatility and functionality for her restaurant work, Kathleen collaborated with us to repurpose the remaining stones into a set of stackable rings. The customizable stacking rings offer both everyday wearability and sentimental value.

About Our Heirloom Redesign Services
We consider heirloom redesigns to be our bread + butter, and we love working with clients to recreate their previously well-loved jewelry into something new and special. By re-working your old pieces, we can maintain the sentimental value that inherently lies in stones + metal, and produce something that will become a favorite piece for years to come.
Some examples of projects we've done are:
- Take apart an old diamond engagement ring and using the stone in a new setting
- Create a solitaire pendant necklace out of an old stone
- Reset uniform matching stones into a tennis bracelet
- Combine gemstones from various pieces into a cluster style ring or necklace
- Remove diamonds from an old band and create new diamond studs
We work with precious stones like diamond, ruby and sapphire, and handle semi-precious stones on a case by case basis. We do not work with heirloom emeralds, pearls, opals, or tanzanite.

Frequently Asked Questions
For the most part, the process is the same as our custom design process. The one difference is that we ask to view your heirloom pieces in-person to examine the stones before moving forward.
We try our best to work with as many stones as possible! Diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and more are all fair game so long as they are in useable condition. We donotwork with customer-provided pearls, opals, emeralds, turquoise, tourmaline or tanzanite.
We can! We present two options for you - we can either recycle old metal/settings and provide a credit toward the cost of your piece, or use the metal in your new piece. If the metal holds sentimental value we recommend melting it into the new piece, however please note there is an additional cost associated with this.
Of course! We are happy to source additional gemstones for you to use in addition to the heirloom stones that you have.
