Remodelling sentimental jewellery is a wonderful way to give treasured pieces new life. By reusing the customer’s gold, diamonds, and aquamarines, we created a bold and modern ring that reflects both personal history and fresh design. Each stone was thoughtfully positioned to highlight its character, resulting in a vibrant, contemporary piece full of meaning — a beautiful fusion of memory and craftsmanship.
Every remodel begins with a story — in this case, a collection of sentimental jewellery holding years of memories. The customer brought in pieces featuring gold, diamonds, and aquamarines, all ready to be transformed into something new. We began by discussing ideas for a bold, modern design that would celebrate each original stone while giving the collection a fresh, unified look. Together, we created a plan for a statement ring that combined colour, contrast, and character in one beautifully balanced piece.
Once the concept was finalised, the original jewellery was carefully dismantled, and each gemstone was inspected, cleaned, and prepared for its new setting. The gold was reworked into a solid band, and the new settings were laid out on the bench to test arrangement and proportion. With precision soldering and fine detailing, the settings were attached and refined to create a distinctive layout that showcased each stone’s unique shape and brilliance while maintaining a harmonious overall design.
The finished ring is a vibrant, one-of-a-kind piece that perfectly blends sentiment with style. The warm yellow gold contrasts beautifully with the cool tones of the aquamarines and the sparkle of the diamonds, creating a fun yet timeless look. What began as a handful of cherished items has been transformed into a striking modern ring — a meaningful reminder of the past, designed to be worn and loved well into the future.
