It’s not that you don’t love that sapphire and pearl pendant your husband gave you when you first got married, it’s just that it may not be your style any longer. Perhaps that cocktail ring doesn’t fit you any longer, and you just don’t like it enough to have it re-sized. Do you have a lot of jewelry just sitting in your safe or jewelry box that you pass by regularly and wonder when or if you’ll ever wear it again? If so, stop fretting, we have answers for you.

There are ways to get new life out of your old jewelry.

Create an Heirloom.
By redesigning jewelry, it can become an heirloom to pass down from generation to generation. Ideas include taking an unworn necklace, perhaps one of baroque style that no longer appeals to you, and breaking it down beautifully into a pair of long, dangling earrings. This maintains the style of the era, but offers a totally new piece of jewelry. Sometimes, there are even elements left over for a bracelet. Brooches, too, can often be made into a pair of earrings, simply by splitting it in half – often with wonderful results.

New Setting Equals New Look.
If you're unsure about breaking a piece of jewelry down and making it into different types of jewelry, we can give you an updated, more exciting version of the same item by varying  the setting. For instance, a diamond strand necklace can be reset into a shorter diamond strand with a floral pendant drop in the center; diamond cluster earrings can be reset to become long, swaying, diamond strand earrings.

A Colorful Alternative.
Colored stone jewelry is also fun to work with because simply by removing one color and adding another, a remarkable new look appears. So, stop passing by all that wonderful jewelry in your collection. Bring it in to us, and together we can create something you'll be thrilled to wear – and still be able to say, "What, this old thing?"
