Heirloom Reworks
Turn something old into something new.
We excel at transforming cherished gems into modern engagement ring settings, subject to specific conditions. Choose to deconstruct an existing family ring or set a loose heirloom diamond into a contemporary VM setting, renewing history with a sustainable touch in recycled metals. Elevate your style while preserving sentimental value.
Stone Requirements
- 0.50ct or larger
- SI2 or higher clarity
- Third-party appraisals are preferred but not a requirement
- Rubies, sapphires, and diamonds are the best stones for re-work and can best handle the complicated nature of unsetting and resetting.
How does it work?
- We will assess your diamond to ensure it will be good fit to reset. It is common for heirloom diamond clarity characteristics to include, but not be limited to, chips, nicks, and abrasions. Please note, some heirloom settings do not permit the identification of certain clarity characteristics until after unsetting the stone.
- All of your stone's clarity characteristics will be disclosed. If the diamond passes the assessment, the next step is to confirm details of the setting and sign the Heirloom Rework Liability contract. We take every measure to ensure it's safety along the way.
- Once approved, you will pay the full balance for the rework and any applicable fees.We will proceed with unsetting your stone (if necessary), sending you CAD designs for approval and casting and setting the new ring!
- After 3-4 weeks, the ring is completed and ready to enjoy! All unused metal and small accent diamonds will be returned to you.
