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.

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

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!

Wow!!! Just wow!!! Received the necklace yesterday and I am beyond thrilled. The diamonds were dazzling before but placed together as they are now and they’re down right brilliant!! Thank you so much. Now I can wear this necklace to match the solitaire studs my husband got me when we first started dating. I now have an amazing set from two of the most important men in my life. I can’t thank you enough for your amazing work. I’ll be a repeat customer for sure.

I was searching for a jeweler to repurpose a string of pearls (my mom’s) for my granddaughter’s wedding. I consider it serendipity finding Raimie. Besides being a gifted jeweler, she made us feel welcome and like we were her only customers. Raimie provided excellent customer service under a deadline. We greatly appreciate her expertise and guidance. Thank you Raimie for helping to make a special wedding memory.

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!!!
