HEIRLOOM RENOVATIONS
Do you have a piece of jewelry that is broken or you never wear? We love to renovate under-worn jewelry to become your new favorite treasure.
We can work with almost any jewelry - we start by designing a new piece, then removing the stones and melting the metal. Here are some images of our transformations! Jewelry should be loved and worn; there is something nice in knowing that the same molecules are mixed up into a new format for your new piece. email us info@hedronstudio.com to get started, or fill out the form at the bottom of this page.
Here are a few examples of renovations we have done!
These commitment rings started as an old school ring and two small rings that weren’t being worn. We reused the diamond, and got a second vintage one for the second ring. The couple wanted these rings to be big, smooshy and organic, holding their diamonds with asymmetrical prongs.
For these wedding rings, we used one of the spouse’s Grandfathers rings- they were very thin, dented and not the look they wanted. Into the crucible they went!
We ended up with beautiful rose gold faceted bands.
This set of engagement rings started with a pendant and a ring that the soon-to-be spouses weren’t wearing. We melted the gold and saved the stones, making two completely distinct rings from the same materials. For the smaller ring, we added two emeralds to finish the design. What a beautiful blue topaz!
This engagement ring started out as an absolutely huge 14k gold heirloom bracelet. All the cousins got part of it, but our client was first. We melted as much as we needed for the engagement ring and returned the rest. We melted other colors of gold in to get a Moon Gold color. The design she wanted was organic, smooth and totally unique with a rosecut diamond, Montana sapphire and a silvermist diamond.
