Heirloom Policy

Outside Stones

We work with outside stones on a case-by-case basis. We do not work with stones sourced from competitors, inclusive of Blue Nile, Brilliant Earth, and anyone in the NYC Diamond District. Additionally, we don't work with stones below .50 carats. If you have an heirloom stone you’d like us to set in one of our current designs, or collaborate on a custom design with the SK team, we require a stone certificate (for the dimensions of your stone), an appraisal (for an insured shipping value), and the stone to be insured.

We are not liable for lost or damaged stones in transit or in setting. Although we will do everything possible to return your heirloom stone back to you in your new setting, there is always a risk of loss or breakage of stone(s). If the stone is lost in transit, you will be entitled to the value the stone was insured for. However, we cannot offer compensation or replacement if the stone is broken during setting. To prevent this from happening, we only work with SI2+ stones to minimize any chance of damage in setting. A minimum of $5,000 is required for orders using heirloom stones.

Pricing

If you would like your heirloom stone set in one of our current designs or you would like to make a small change to one of our existing designs, modifications include introducing a new stone shape or type, adding an additional stone, pavé, traditional or Hidden Halo, and changing the shank, basket, or setting style.

Minimum: $5,000
Includes:
- 1 round of 3-D design with minor revision round (each additional 3-D design is a minimum of $250)

We offer Standard and Premium tiers for Heirlooms, based on the complexity of the design work required. Each project will receive a personalized quote before we begin any work.
