Your Jewelry, Your Story: The Art of Custom Redesign at Rick Jewelers


Every piece of jewelry holds a story. Perhaps it’s a ring passed down from a grandmother, a necklace from a milestone birthday, or a collection of small diamonds from a piece you no longer wear. Over time, styles change, but the sentimental value of these treasures remains. What if you could give that story a new chapter?

At Rick Jewelers, we believe that your jewelry should be as unique as you are. That's why we specialize in the art of custom redesign—a process that allows you to breathe new life into cherished heirlooms and older pieces, transforming them into something uniquely yours.

From Old to New: The Power of Repurposing
 
One of the most popular ways to customize jewelry is by taking stones from one piece and incorporating them into another. This is a brilliant solution for anyone who:

Inherited an Heirloom: You love the sentiment of your mother’s or grandmother’s engagement ring, but the vintage setting doesn't quite match your modern style. We can carefully remove the center diamond and side stones and place them in a brand new setting that reflects your personal taste.
Wants to Combine Pieces: Do you have multiple rings with small diamonds that sit unworn in a jewelry box? We can combine these stones to create a stunning, cohesive new piece, like a dazzling pavé band or a personalized pendant.
Wishes to Modernize: The gold is yellow, but you prefer white gold or platinum. The setting is bulky, but you dream of a delicate solitaire. We can use the existing, beautiful stones to create the perfect piece you'll be excited to wear every day.
 

The Rick Jewelers Custom Design Process
 
Our process is built on collaboration, craftsmanship, and trust. We understand that we are handling items of immense sentimental value, and we treat them with the utmost care.

The Consultation: Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation. Bring in the pieces you wish to redesign. We'll sit down with you to discuss your vision, personal style, and the story behind each item. This is where your ideas come to life.


The Design: Our expert jewelers will create a design that honors the original piece while bringing your new vision to fruition. 


The Craftsmanship: Once the design is perfect, our skilled artisans meticulously begin the transformation. We carefully un-mount your diamonds and other precious gems, craft the new setting from the metal of your choice, and precisely set each stone. The result is a brand-new piece of jewelry that carries the legacy of the old.
By repurposing your jewelry, you are not just getting a new accessory—you are creating a new story. It’s an opportunity to celebrate your past while embracing your future, all with a piece that is truly and uniquely yours.
