Before and After

Jewellery is less trend sensitive than clothing, but after a few years (or decades) you might still feel the need to refresh your jewellery. Here are a couple of examples of rings that have been redesigned using the same Diamonds, but with a new look.

We used the Diamonds from these 2 rings to make into two new designs (see below).

For their anniversary, M decided to surprise his wife by redesigning her Engagement Ring, after getting to know her taste better over the years. The ring was initially made with a centrepiece Diamond, flanked with a pair of Diamonds from M’s grandmother. Although being a pretty design, the colour of the centrepiece and side Diamonds did not match, so we removed the side-stones and they will be used for a pair of earrings at a later stage.

It might be difficult to see, but the old design, had small Diamonds placed in two rows half-way down the band. For the new design, we used the same Diamonds, but instead placing them full circle in a single row. The beading on the sides, gives the ring a vintage touch, while being a cleaned up version of the ring.

  1. Your style is unique in comparison to other people I’ve read stuff
    from. Many thanks for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I’ll just book mark this blog.

  2. Hi, I am keen to redesign an old diamond ring that was given to me (but I have never worn as it was a design that was rather old-fashioned) … Can you kindly email me to give me an idea of what it would cost to redesign & reset the ring?
