This remodel began with a classic emerald-cut diamond set in a silver ring — a piece that held sentimental value but no longer reflected the wearer’s style. The goal was to give the diamond a fresh setting in gold, transforming the ring into something more refined, timeless, and wearable for years to come. The result is a beautifully modern update that preserves the essence of the original while elevating it with warmth and elegance.
We begin by discussing your vision for the new piece — whether you’d like to recreate the original design in gold or take the opportunity to reimagine it entirely. We assess the emerald-cut diamond for condition, dimensions, and suitability for resetting. The silver setting is examined, and any sentimental details are noted to see if they can be echoed in the new gold design.
The emerald-cut diamond is carefully removed from its silver setting using precision tools to ensure it remains undamaged. You then choose your preferred gold — whether yellow, white, or rose, and in 9ct, 14ct, or 18ct — based on your desired look, durability, and budget. At this stage, we finalise the new ring design, balancing proportion, setting style, and personal touches.
Our skilled goldsmiths handcraft the new ring in your chosen gold, custom-made to fit your diamond perfectly. The emerald-cut stone is then securely set, with every angle and facet aligned to showcase its clarity and elegance. After polishing and finishing, your new gold ring is ready — a refined transformation of your original piece into something both familiar and beautifully new.
