Diamonds, sapphires and rubies are the hardest and show the least amount of wear. But we have reset well-worn opals, scuffed up aquamarines and pearls that have seen better days. If it means something to you then it means something to us.

Each project is made-to-order and pricing is based on the setting, finishing details and amount of gold in the new piece. But here are a few examples… stud earrings start at $495, stacking Rings start at $950 and custom designed rings with CAD drawings or wax models start at $1,995.

We recommend browsing our gallery of custom & redesigned jewellery. We can provide pricing on any previous project to help you get a better understanding of the cost.

Most of our clients choose to recycle the gold from their existing jewellery and use the credit to fund the redesign. If you know the gram weight and karat (e.g. 10K, 14K, 18K) of your existing jewellery we can provide a rough estimate of its gold-weight value (not an appraisal).

No, you do not need to pay a deposit. We consider the gold credit to be your deposit. The balance is due when the project is complete.

In most cases it is more affordable to recycle your gold and reset your own diamonds and gemstones.

Factors that affect the cost include additional diamonds and gemstones, and the complexity of the new design.

Reusing your gold saves on materials, but the extra labour of forging a new piece adds to the cost. Even so, redesigning usually comes out ahead.

Yes. Any gold from your original jewellery is carefully weighed and valued at the current gold market rate. That value is then applied as a credit toward your final balance. This means your old gold helps pay for your new piece.

Yes. If it’s suitable, we can melt your gold and use it in your new piece, or we can credit its value toward the cost of new gold. We’ll inspect your jewellery and advise which makes sense.

Some jewellery isn’t suitable for reuse. Gold that contains solder from past repairs or joining can contaminate the new piece and leave it weak or brittle. In that case, we’d recommend a credit for its value instead. 

Whatever you choose, we’ll also check whether your piece can be redesigned. Not all jewellery can be, and we’ll be upfront about any limitations.

Yes, we have excellent suppliers in Canada and can source any diamonds and gemstones in any size, colour or shape. 

Yes. A great example is a recent engagement ring where we matched an original diamond with lab-grown diamonds to use as accents to a new centre diamond. Something old and something new!

For made-to-order pieces such as solitaire pendants or diamond bezel studs can be completed in as little as 10 business days.

For custom work, wax models or CAD drawings are created for final approval. Once finalized, projects are ready in 3-4 weeks.

We understand that it can be stressful to ship your jewellery. We exclusively use fully-insured FedEx shipping to and from our studio in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

As soon as your jewellery arrives in the studio, we take photographs and create an inventory of your gemstones. The inventory includes measuring and documenting the size of every gemstone before anything is removed from your jewellery. This provides a record of your jewellery and its identifying characteristics, which is a sensible precaution whenever valuable pieces are being worked on. You’ll receive a copy of the inventory, and your stones stay in-house from start to finish.

The best answer to that question comes from our valued customers who have left us Google reviews.
