HEIRLOOM REDESIGN PROCESS
There's no sense in jewelry sitting in the back of your jewelry box for years. Maybe you've inherited some jewelry, or you've got some pieces that aren't your style anymore, or maybe you've gone through a divorce and have an old wedding ring that needs a new meaning.
It's time to take those diamonds or gemstones and make them 'fit' YOU and YOUR life!
We'll make the process seamless for you and you'll end up with a new piece of jewelry that you'll love wearing everyday!
welcome
1. LET'S TALK
Through e-mail, phone, Zoom, or in-person, we'll discuss the piece you're dreaming about, budget and timeline. At this point, we can send pictures and ideas back and forth and hone in on exactly what you want
2. ADD STONES (IF YOU WANT)
We work with a large variety of suppliers to get you just the stone you're looking for. All stones are ethically sourced and conflict free.
Oftentimes, we will order a few stones for you to compare. We want you to love what you pick and feel comfortable that you explored your options.
If we're working in-person: you'll have the opportunity to come see the stone(s) in our studio to make sure you're getting exactly what you're looking for
If we're working long distance: We will send you videos and pictures of the stone(s) using outdoor and indoor lighting so you know exactly what you're picking.
3. SEND IN YOUR PIECES
If you're local to Northwest Ohio, you can schedule a time to meet in-person & drop off your piece(s). If we're working long distance, we will teach you how to mail your jewelry to us securely and with insurance.
4. DESIGN
After carefully measuring and inspecting your stones, your piece will be designed in CAD 3D software, down to every little detail. We will render the design for you so you can see a picture of it in whatever metal color and stones you choose. (You can still request changes at this point.)
5. MODEL
A wax model (to scale) will be made from our CAD design.
If we're working in-person: you'll receive pictures and videos of the wax, but you also have the opportunity to come try it on in-person.
If we're working long distance: the wax model can be shipped to you if you'd like, or I can send you pictures and videos of the wax.
You may still request changes at this point! Charges may apply for additional wax models.
6. CAST & SET
Once the wax is approved, we will have our qualified jewelers cast your ring in the metal of your choice and expertly set your stones!
This entire process takes 5-6 weeks, but we can work quicker in some cases. Just ask!
