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 Although it has a beautiful textured basket, it’s incredibly top heavy & outdated.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.
her oversized mounting became her amethyst statement ring
Her oversized silver mounting + my amethyst = magnificent statement ring. I just happened to have a just-right size amethyst for a cabochon cut to fit
a grown up ring (wedding set redesign)
At this point in her life, she wanted a more sophisticated redesigned ring. Her many stones set with several metals & varied stone mountings.
his wedding ring made into her heart pendant
The marriage of the double hearts and his wedding band into a pendant is just perfect. [The ring cut from her finger with engraving intact.]
marriage of two heirloom bracelets (id and bangle)
She wanted a redesign to combine two bracelets. Both engraved – a bangle bracelet from her mother + the id bracelet dad wore all the time.
