Revitalizing Vintage: Transforming an Heirloom Citrine and Diamond Brooch

Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a client who wanted to transform an orange citrine and diamond brooch she was gifted many years ago by a family member. She adored the vibrant color of the citrine and the vintage charm of the brooch but felt that the style didn’t suit her everyday look.

During our consultation, we discussed her desire to create something wearable that wouldn’t alter the original design too much. We decided to remove the top of the brooch, which featured the largest stone and diamond detail. By adjusting the orientation from horizontal to vertical, we were able to create the perfect design.

The result is a stunning ring that maintains the vintage feel of the original brooch while offering the flexibility to be worn daily. The intricate detailing and the vibrant orange citrine remain the focal points, now set in a way that complements her modern style.
