There’s much more to jewelry design than creating one-of-a-kind pieces that are uniquely yours. Sure, being able to work with a jewelry designer to create a custom engagement ring or a bespoke pair of earrings is amazing, but what if one of those beautiful earrings gets lost?
The great news is that expert jewelers can easily recreate that beloved lost earring and other unique jewelry pieces, such as a bracelet you saw in a movie or even an ancient Egyptian necklace you fell in love with at a museum exhibit.
So if you’re thinking about recreating a piece of jewelry but you’re full of questions, don’t worry. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions about jewelry recreation we hear every day.
What is jewelry recreation?
Jewelry recreation is a specific type of jewelry design which involves creating a piece of jewelry solely based on another one. That’s not to say that we’re copying another piece of jewelry. This type of jewelry design is actually mostly used to replace pieces that have been lost or damaged
If your favorite bracelet fell out of your wrist without you noticing it or you have an earring that’s missing its pair, we can help you recreate those pieces to add them back to your jewelry collection.
How does jewelry recreation work?
The process is actually simpler than you might think! All you need to do is tell us what you’d like to get, and we’ll turn that idea into reality. Easy, right? Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the entire design process:
- • First, you come in for a consultation with one of our jewelers to discuss your ideas.
- • Then, our experts create a design concept based on the ideas you’ve discussed. Don’t worry, you can request as many changes to the design as you need to make sure the jewelry piece of your dreams is perfect.
- • Once the design concept has been approved, we create a wax or computerized model of your jewelry piece for you to see what the finished piece will look like from every angle
- • Upon your final approval, we carefully handcraft your beautiful piece with the utmost attention to detail, ensuring that your dreams are translated from an image in your mind to a completed work of art.
