How a Jewelry Redesign Works
Three stages, the same as a custom engagement ring, with more care at the start to evaluate and protect what you bring.
1. Your Free ReJewel™ Consultation
One 45-minute consultation with Lisa, in the studio or by Zoom. Bring your jewelry to the studio, or text photos before a Zoom appointment. Lisa evaluates each diamond and gemstone, and together you decide what to keep, what to change and what your new piece should be.
2. See It Before It’s Made
Lisa builds CAD renderings sized to your own diamond or gemstone, so you see the proportions, profile and setting before anything is made. Change anything until it’s right. Nothing is made until you approve.
3. Crafted for You
Your ReJewel™ is made by hand in about 3 to 4 weeks after you approve the design. Pick it up at the studio or have it shipped to you.
Redesign Your Wedding Ring or Engagement Ring
Many ReJewel™ projects are rings. A ring redesign can:
- Reset an heirloom diamond into a new engagement ring
- Rework a wedding set into one ring you wear every day
- Lower a tall setting so your ring is easier to wear
- Move from a busy halo to a cleaner setting, or add a halo to frame a smaller diamond
- Reuse side diamonds in a new wedding band
- Change yellow gold to white gold or platinum
Your diamonds and gemstones can also become a necklace, a pendant, earrings or a right-hand ring. To design a new band to sit beside your engagement ring, see custom wedding rings.
What You Can Reuse in a ReJewel™
Gemstones
Sapphires, rubies, emeralds and other colored gemstones, evaluated one by one.
Gold and Platinum
Yellow, white or rose gold, or platinum you no longer need, credited toward your project.
One designer, start to finish
Meet Lisa, Who Designs Every ReJewel™
Lisa evaluates what you bring, listens to the story behind it, and explains every choice, and every number, before you decide.
By Zoom, from anywhere: text photos before your consultation, ship your jewelry to the studio, review your renderings on screen, and have your finished piece shipped back to you. In the studio near Dayton: bring your jewelry and have it evaluated in person.
What Is a ReJewel™?
A ReJewel™ is the redesign of jewelry you already own into a new custom piece. The diamonds, gemstones and gold come from you; the design is made for the way you wear jewelry now. Heirloom jewelry redesign, restyling, resetting and remodeling all describe the same thing: keeping what matters and changing the rest.

What to Keep, Change or Let Go
What carries the meaning?
Often it’s the center diamond. Sometimes it’s a gemstone, an engraving or the story of how the piece came to you. That anchors your new design.
How will you wear it?
Setting height, comfort for daily wear and proportion to your hand. Some older settings sit high or catch on clothing.
What no longer fits you?
Extra accent diamonds, a heavy setting or a detail you never loved can be set aside or used elsewhere.
What should it become?
With those answers, Lisa designs forward, and you see it in CAD before anything is made.
How Much Does a ReJewel™ Cost?
Every ReJewel™ is priced from its design: the metal, the work in the setting, and any diamonds or gemstones you add. Reusing your own diamond means you aren’t buying a new center diamond. Because the diamond or gemstone is yours, a handling fee covers designing around it and setting it, and gold or platinum you no longer need can be credited toward your project. Lisa shows you every number at your free consultation, before you decide.
Reset It or Redesign It?
Reset Your Diamond
Redesign the Whole Piece
Choose this if you want to combine several pieces, reuse side diamonds or gold, or turn a ring into a necklace or earrings. Lisa designs a new piece around everything you want to keep.
Jewelry Redesign Questions
Jewelry redesign turns jewelry you already own into a new custom piece. Lisa Robin’s redesign service is called ReJewel™: your diamonds, gemstones and gold are carried into a design made for the way you wear jewelry now, and you see CAD renderings before anything is made.
Yes. Lisa can redesign a wedding ring you already own: reset its diamonds, change the metal, rework a wedding set into one ring, or make a new band from the diamonds and gold in your old one. To design a new band for your engagement ring, see custom wedding rings.
An engagement ring reset moves your diamond from its original setting into a new engagement ring designed for you. The diamond stays the same; the setting, metal and band change.
No. Your diamonds and gemstones can become a necklace, a pendant, earrings or a right-hand ring. Any project that reuses jewelry you own is a ReJewel™.
Every ReJewel™ is priced by its design, metal and any diamonds or gemstones you add. Because you supply the diamond or gemstone, a handling fee covers designing around it and setting it. The consultation is free, and Lisa shows you every number during it.
About 3 to 4 weeks after you approve the design. Projects that combine several pieces can take longer, and you’ll know the timeline before crafting begins.
Yes. Gold or platinum you no longer need can be credited toward your project. Lisa looks at your metal at the consultation and shows you the credit before you approve the design.
Most can. Very small accent diamonds are not always suitable for resetting, and some gemstones need a setting chosen to protect them. Lisa evaluates every diamond and gemstone at your consultation, so you know what can be reused before your design begins.
No. Consultations happen in the studio or by Zoom, your jewelry can be shipped to the studio for the redesign, and your finished piece can be shipped back to you.
Lisa’s craftsmanship is warrantied. How your finished piece is covered depends on whether it is newly designed or keeps its original setting, so Lisa explains your coverage at your consultation.
