Jewelry is a beautiful way to show off your personal style. Whether you’re looking to repurpose a cherished keepsake or create a one-of-a-kind piece, designing a custom ring or necklace is a great way to express your personal story, celebrate life’s milestones, and wear something that is truly you—crafted with meaning, emotion, and timeless beauty. At Peter & Co. Jewelers, we can incorporate meaningful gemstones or diamonds into your design. Here, we provide insights into creating custom jewelry using your existing pieces.
Our Process
Designing custom jewelry doesn’t have to be complicated. At Peter & Co. Jewelers, we make the process simple. We start with your idea. You can bring in a hand-drawn sketch or describe your vision to one of our associates, who will craft an image for you. During this step, you want to make sure you highlight any details and must-have characteristics. You’ll also want to provide us with the gems or existing pieces you wish to include.
Once we understand what you want your piece to look like, we’ll create a 3-D rendering. This 3-D rendering allows you to see what the result will look like before it’s made. With this image, you can fine-tune your design, tweaking even the smallest details until it matches your vision.
When you’re happy with the overall design and you sign off on the rendering, our master crafters bring your vision to life. Our decades of experience enable us to handle even the smallest details. After your jewelry is complete, we’ll contact you to arrange pickup for the finished ring, bracelet, or necklace.
Types of Jewelry You Can Customize
Many types of jewelry can be repurposed. Whether broken or outdated, you can use the gems from these heirlooms to create new and one-of-a-kind pieces for any occasion, such as:
- Engagement rings: Does your family have an engagement ring that’s been passed down? You can recreate the original design and make it more modern. Additionally, you can use a gem from a great-grandmother’s brooch to create a new sentimental piece.
- Necklaces: You can transform necklaces into beautiful earrings using the existing gemstones. Or you can repurpose your mother’s favorite, most-worn pairs of earrings into a show-stopping new necklace.
- Rings: Not every ring fits every finger or aesthetic.. You can add new stones, change the setting, or use the gemstones to design a new personalized family heirloom.
- Broken jewelry: Recycling is important. You can trade in the parts of damaged gold or platinum jewelry, such as stones, chains, and clasps. At Peter & Co. Jewelers, we can transform broken earrings into something beautiful using the handed-down gemstones.
