a marquise story
classic marquise solitaire engagement 14k white gold ring with a bow under the setting. repurposed family diamond.
redesigned 45th anniversary ring has been passed on and on and on …
instead of duplicating the ring we captured the essence the original piece using the diamonds where needed, replacing the rubies with new ones and – the extra special feature – we found a way to incorporate her original wedding band.
cluster ring to shiny pendant
what the shop has been doing is converting ring tops into pendants with chains. since she is not wearing rings these days, we repurposed an old cluster ring into a necklace.
charm bracelet to charming pendant
she was the recipient of the family kitschy jewelry. the oversized gold charms with rubies, sapphires, emeralds and pearls big enough to wear each as a pendant. they don’t make charms like this anymore – intricate and handmade with moving parts.
gold band made from three beloved rings includes engraving
each of three rings meant so much to her. knowing what was important, we saved the engraving in her dad’s wedding band, used her original engagement and original wedding band.
interchangeable bead ring to permanent marquise
there seems to be a trend where one reaches a certain age and realizes you have jewelry one is not wearing because tastes change as do needs and wants. this combination fabrication results in a ring she wants to wear now.
ring from pendant

necklace redesigned to bracelet and slide-style pendant. repurposed old jewelry into something she loves.
an unusual engagement ring
the process begins with you

Raimie has helped us commemorate our most important life events with beautiful jewelry for a span of over 30 years. She recently helped my son create the most gorgeous engagement ring for his bride to be. What a wonderful full circle experience that was ! Raimie is beyond personable, trustworthy, knowledgeable and creative. She is a gem!!!

Life is very interesting sometimes. I went to get my hair cut today and a friend was so happy and excited about her “new” ring she couldn’t contain herself! As soon as she told me about her jeweler in Avon – I knew it was you! You made a special lady very happy. Of course I was wearing my Raime wedding band and my “new” necklace – always happy to share my story about my three rings. It was fun to share our Raimie jewelry stories. Six degrees of separation!

It was great chatting with YOU too on Saturday. I had a great Saturday. I met with a few businesses I shop at on and off, so nice seeing them. I enjoy buying from small businesses for this specific reason. Wonderful people who care about people, we gain a nice relationship such as yourself and others.
Don’t know how you did it but there is so much movement in the design that the pin fairly dances! It has a slightly giddy, joyful quality. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!

Still loving my ring. I think of your dad when I look at it… (I should probably be thinking of my husband perhaps….but…)
