A Fresh Take on Heirlooms: From Sentimental Jewelry to Stackable Rings

When a client brought in two sentimental jewelry pieces, she had one clear goal: transform them into something modern, wearable, and personal. She wanted to preserve the meaning behind the originals but give them a fresh life—something that reflected her current style and could be enjoyed every day.

Together, we reimagined her jewelry into a beautiful set: a redesigned engagement ring paired with two eternity bands, one set with diamonds and the other with emeralds. The end result is a playful yet timeless stack that can be worn together or separately, depending on her mood.

Creating stackable rings from older pieces is one of our favorite ways to honor the past while embracing the present. In this case, we carefully evaluated the stones and settings to decide how they could best be reused. Emeralds bring a rich, vibrant pop of color and are symbolic of renewal and love—perfect for a redesign like this. Diamonds, of course, add brilliance and a sense of continuity to any piece.

The challenge with redesigns is always blending the original elements with a cohesive new vision. Here, the modern styling of the bands keeps the overall look fresh, while the sentiment behind the stones remains intact. It’s a perfect example of how custom jewelry can be both meaningful and stylish.

Whether you have heirlooms collecting dust or pieces that no longer feel like you, a thoughtful redesign can bring new life to your jewelry box.
