brooch to pendant x 2
Working with vintage jewelry requires caution – nothing bad happened! Two high quality gold karat mass-produced brooches were converted to pendants.
pendant from wedding band (she wore it on her wedding day!)
Her gift to her great granddaughter was a pendant made from a wedding band. May the circle be unbroken.
grandmother’s wedding band bracelet
She wanted to wear her grandmother’s wedding band as a bracelet. I wanted to retain the integrity of the ring so avoided soldering the links directly to the band.
redesigned streamlined peridot engagement ring
Listening carefully, I made my suggestions to transform her cushion cut peridot engagement ring while retaining the original handwork.
diamond stud earrings converted to solitaire necklaces
Solitaire necklaces converted from large diamond earrings – one for mother, one for daughter.
a jewelry suite update – brooch and earrings redesign
Her jewelry suite looked dated. Redesigned 14k with opal triplets. Earrings simplified with diamond clusters;. Associated brooch converted to a pendant.
‘kiss of yellow’ engagement ring
I believe the right stone will “talk “ to you. The smile on her face said it all. The Old Mine cut diamond with a hint of yellow was for her.
top-heavy ring converted to pendant
She wanted the vintage ring turned into a pendant. Although it has a beautiful textured basket, it’s incredibly top heavy & outdated.
unbroken circle (diamond pendant from family rings)
Unworn family rings converted to an unbroken circle diamond pendant. Three generations created a gift for the forth.
What they say …
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!

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!!!

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.
I love my ring and I still can’t stop looking at it!! It is so beautiful!! I never thought I would own a ring so lovely. You and Amy are the BEST!

I love the pendant with these old Czech garnets – they look like little blood drops. It is one of my talismans – just like the ring you made for me it bears a family amulet… Looking forward to seeing the next design!

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!

I am late in telling you how beautiful the ring that you created is and how happy we both are! You were just a dream to work with and I am so thankful that you were able to guide us through the process!

I was browsing the net on a Sunday evening and decided to take a peek at your site, which I haven’t visited since I have been visiting you so regularly. Much to my surprise and delight I found 2 of the pieces you created for me: the cabochon London blue topaz earrings and the terrific “double up” you did with my 2 pairs of earrings made of green-unfortunately-named stones. But the best part was being referenced as one of your “favorite gals.” I got such a kick out of seeing the lovely thi… Read more
