JEWELRY RE-DESIGN

Restyling your heirloom jewelry can be the perfect way to hold onto a sentimental moment and ensure you’ll forever love it. Our restyling service allows you to redesign your heirloom pieces into new and personalized pieces of jewelry. Our restyling projects typically take 4-6 weeks to complete.

How it works:

1. Consultation:

For bespoke pieces we begin by scheduling an appointment where our team will walk you through the process, assess your project, and recommendations based on your custom piece. This would be the appointment to bring in any stones or repurposed materials.

2. Discovery & Design

Every custom and redesign piece is unique and personal, we strive to make sure you receive one-on-one experience. In this step we will select the best diamonds for your preferences. We will ask you more detailed questions that will help us with the design of your piece. Please allow 3-5 business days for our team to review everything internally.

3. Design

In this part we will provide you with a sketch or a computer rendering of your design. We will schedule another chat with you to solidify and finalize your design before we begin crafting the ring. Once we solidify the design and are ready to proceed, we require a 50% deposit to begin the piece.

4. Creation

Our team will begin bringing your piece to life. Every custom piece is handcrafted in New York City with our team of master craftsmen.
