Often we are approached to re-design and re-work sentimental pieces. Maybe because they no longer fit, have been sentimentally inherited or simply to signify a new beginning.
This is without doubt our favourite job. The whole process from initial meeting, design ideas and the final result allows us to get to know our customers, so we can understand what this commission means to them; and help them to realise their vision. Re-purposing and recycling precious stones and metal whats not to like.
We wanted to share with you some of our favourites over 2018......
Re-purposing the diamond from a clients engagement ring, into a simplistic pendant that can be worn everyday.
Already a fan of our KOTI Stack rings, we were delighted to reuse our clients princess and baguette diamonds from their wedding band into a more contemporary style, making sure we also incorporated the gold from both wedding and engagement rings.
We really enjoyed working with this client, taking her mothers beautiful diamond to create a sentimental piece that was dainty enough for everyday wear and placed the stone in a setting to show it at its best.
A dainty stacked bracelet using inherited diamonds in a solid gold disc rub over setting.
We struggled to give this one away! A rose gold KOTI Stack incorporating rubies and diamonds from our clients inherited earrings. We are in LOVE.
If you would like to get in touch with any ideas you may have, we would love to hear from you!
