Heirloom Reworks

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.

Diamond Requirements

  • 0.50ct or larger
  • SI2 or higher clarity
  • Must be a natural stone and must have been passed down or gifted to you - we do not set diamonds you've purchased online or from another retailer
  • Stone(s) can either be loose or in an existing mounting
  • Third-party appraisals are preferred but not a requirement
  • We exclusively set diamonds in VM ring settings

How does it work?

  1. If your diamond is determined to be a good fit, our Staff Gemologist will conduct an In-House Assessment. This step ensures it will be safe to proceed with your stone, it is not a guarantee we will be able to use your diamond. 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. 
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
  4. After 6-8 weeks, the ring is completed and ready to enjoy! You may choose to add-on an appraisal if you wish. (Note that all unused metal and small accent diamonds will be returned to you.)
