Honoring Heritage: A Modern Take on a Grandmother’s Vintage Ring

 

Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a client who wanted to repurpose her grandmother’s vintage 18k gold and diamond ring into something that honored her grandmother while reflecting her own taste.

Her grandmother’s ring, a treasured gift, featured a stunning round diamond center stone. Our client envisioned a design that was both classic and modern, with a touch of edginess. To achieve this, we carefully removed the diamond and placed it into a simple gold bezel setting, maintaining its timeless elegance.

For the chain, we decided against a traditional, delicate option. Instead, we opted for a trendy, delicate ball chain that added a modern twist to the piece. This choice perfectly balanced the classic beauty of the diamond with a fresh, contemporary edge.

The result is a necklace that beautifully honors her grandmother’s gift while allowing her to wear it in a way that suits her current style. It’s a piece that carries deep sentimental value, seamlessly blending past and present.
