Create New Jewelry Reusing What You Love

I ran into one of my customers over the summer and noticed she was wearing a solitaire pendant with a Circle of Life pendant her fiancé had purchased from us months earlier. When I asked her about it, she explained that she loved her Circle of Life, but the extra diamond was a family heirloom she held dear to her heart. After discussing this a little further I suggested we could incorporate one into the other and she immediately loved the idea and decided to have three graduated stones bridging the diameter of the circle. A few weeks later, I received her pendants in our shop and started to figure out the configuration. Her stone weighed 3/4 of a carat and unfortunately measured less than a third of the distance we had to bridge. If we were going to go with the original concept, that meant her stone would be in the middle position, which became a substantially more expensive option, or we would have to use 4 stones to go the distance. She was not overly happy with this idea so we kept looking for a better solution. After a couple of days we came up with an idea that had some potential. Why not put a halo of diamonds around each of the interior stones, mimicking the Circle of Life? We worked out the exact configuration on a CAD. The price was well within the original budget so she gave the project the go-ahead.

Her family stone was set in a three-prong setting. We kept this detail alive in the new piece, setting all the new centers with three prongs in stead of the traditional four.

Recycled Legacy Diamond in a Bezel Pendant

We were working with a customer on a designing a stunning engagement ring when she asked us what she could do with with her grandmother’s old ring. The ring had seen many years of wear and tear and there was no way to save it, but as our customer was getting married soon, we suggested giving the diamond a new life. It was not a big stone (about 0.1 carats) but it had great sentimental value. We thought about a number of options and she finally decided on making a pendant and setting her grandmother’s stone in the middle of a bezel of new diamonds. She wore it on her wedding day. Something old and something new. It was perfect.

Center stone: 0.1 carats
Diamond bezel: 0.25 carats
