Heirlooms to Wearlooms: Before & After the Redesigns - Part 2
If you've followed us for a while, you know that we love redesign work. Although it can be nerve-wracking working with heirloom stones, there is something so special about reworking a sentimental piece and turning it into something that our clients can wear every day and be reminded of their loved ones. Read on for part two of our favorite transformations from this past year.
CUSTOM CLUSTER GAP RING + PINK SAPPHIRE HEART NECKLACE
Before

After
Our friend and client, Kyle, came to us with three rings that she no longer wore hoping to transform them into pieces she could wear every day. Using the pink sapphires, Shahla and Kyle collaborated to create the heart necklace she had been envisioning. With the leftover stones, Shahla reworked our cluster ring design to showcase Kyle's remaining heirloom diamonds.
RUBY EYE RING + DIAMOND SHADOW BAND
Before
After
Maya was gifted her heirloom ring for her high school graduation. She loved the style but its setting wasn't practical. When she came to us, our goal was to rework the stones into a setting she could see herself wearing daily. The above stack was the best way to highlight all of the stones while staying true to Maya's style.
RUBY PEAR PAVÉ V RING + ZODIAC REVEAL RING
Before
After
After
Chelsea came to us with a family ring hoping to reset its stones into a setting that better fit her style. The stones set in her heirloom ring were perfect for the Pear Pave V Ring and would even leave some extra for another project. She landed on the Zodiac Reveal Ring.
MARQUISE PAVÉ V RING
Before
After
A classic engagement ring redo; Angela wanted to rework her original engagement ring into a more modern design and the Marquise V Ring was the perfect fit.
