Behind the Design: A Custom Jewelry Redesign Using Heirlooms

Some redesigns begin with a spark of inspiration. Others begin with a story. Becky’s bracelet was both.
She came to us with a small collection of jewelry passed down from her loved ones: her mother’s rings, including her engagement ring, her great-grandmother’s engagement ring, and a chain bracelet that belonged to her husband. Each piece held significance, but none of them fit naturally into her everyday life. She wanted a way to bring them together into something she could enjoy every day.
Karen met with Becky to learn about the meaning behind each piece and the kind of bracelet she envisioned. Together, they talked through options, styles, and how to highlight all seven diamonds in a way that felt intentional and true to her story. The goal wasn’t to transform the jewelry into something new just for the sake of it. It was to honor those who passed it down and create something that felt authentic to who Becky is today.
Our team designed a brushed gold center plate that brings a soft, warm texture to the bracelet. Each of Becky’s diamonds was prong set across the plate in a clean, balanced layout that lets every stone shine. Her husband’s chain became the perfect foundation, adding a sentimental detail that makes the piece uniquely hers.
The finished bracelet is simple, meaningful, and full of the people she carries with her every day. It’s a beautiful example of what redesign can do—turning heirlooms that live in a jewelry box into a piece that becomes part of someone’s everyday life.
Projects like this are why we love what we do. Every redesign is personal, and every story matters. If you have jewelry tucked away that deserves a new life, we’d be honored to help you create something that feels right for you.
