Heirloom Jewellery Redesign in Toronto

A grandmother's ring, an old pendant, stones from a piece you no longer wear. We help you turn them into something you will wear every day, keeping what matters.

Start with what you have

Bring every piece, even broken ones. We look at each stone under magnification, tell you what can be reused, and talk through ideas that fit how you dress and live.

Some clients keep one detail from the original, like an engraving or a setting style. Others want a completely new piece that simply carries the family stones.

Common redesigns

Inherited ring to engagement ring

The family diamond moved into a modern setting.

Several pieces into one

Stones from different pieces combined into a ring, pendant or band.

Ring to pendant or earrings

Stones moved from a ring you no longer wear into something easier to wear.

Restoring the original

Rebuilding worn details so the piece looks the way it was made.

Your stones stay safe

Every stone you leave with us is recorded on a written intake receipt and covered by our studio insurance until the finished piece is in your hands.

How your piece is made.

The full process
Step 1

Consultation

Meet in the studio or by video. Share photos, ideas, a budget range and any old jewellery you want to trade in. It is free and there is no obligation.

Step 2

Sketch and 3D render

We draw options by hand, then build a 3D render you can turn and zoom. Revise it until it is right.

Step 3

Choose the diamond

Compare certified natural (GIA) and lab-grown (IGI) stones side by side, with every report explained.

Step 4

Made by hand

Your piece is cast, set and finished at our Toronto bench, usually within 3 to 4 weeks of design approval.

Step 5

Final check and delivery

We inspect every setting, photograph the piece and hand it to you in person or by insured delivery.

Jewellery trade-in

Trade in your old jewellery toward something new.

Rings you no longer wear, single earrings, broken chains, outdated settings: they still have value. Bring them in and we credit them toward any piece you design with us.

What we accept

Gold in any karat and colour, platinum, diamonds and many gemstones. Rings, bands, chains, bracelets, earrings and pendants, whether they are worn, broken or missing stones.

How we value it

We test the metal, weigh it in front of you and assess each diamond for cut, colour, clarity and carat. You get a written trade-in value before you decide anything.

Use it on any piece

Your credit applies to engagement rings, wedding bands, tennis pieces, pendants, earrings, redesigns and repairs. It comes off your quote and can cover part or all of your deposit.

Keep what matters

Want to keep a stone for sentimental reasons? We can set it into your new design and trade in only the rest, so nothing meaningful is lost.

No paperwork needed

Receipts and grading reports help, but you do not need them. We assess every piece in the studio or start the conversation by video from photos.

Free, with no obligation

The assessment is part of your free consultation. If you decide not to go ahead, your jewellery goes home with you, exactly as you brought it.

Heirloom Redesign, answered.

See all questions
Can you reuse the gold from my old jewellery?

Often, yes. We explain when new metal is the better choice for strength or colour. Anything you do not want to reuse can be traded in and credited toward the redesign.

Will my diamonds be checked first?

Yes. Every stone is inspected for chips and damage before we design around it.

Can I keep the original setting?

If you want to, we return any parts we do not use.

Do you accept old jewellery as a trade-in?

Yes. We accept gold, platinum, diamonds and many gemstones as a trade-in, and credit their value toward any new piece you design with us. Worn, broken or mismatched pieces are welcome.
