Remodelling Jewellery
Starting a Ring Reno is simple — just send us a photo of the jewellery you want to remake and we'll arrange a free consultation by phone or in person.
From our studio in Niagara on the Lake, we work with clients across Canada. We specialize in repurposing diamonds and gemstones from old fashioned settings. Your gold is recycled and we offer a credit towards your new jewellery.
What Our Clients Say ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Julie managed to take inspiration from an art deco vintage style image and some how manage to create a masterpiece! I'm so enamoured by my new engagement ring! The gold that I sent to Julie was credited generously. Thank you so very much for your time and patience throughout this process!"
— Samantha from Waterloo

More About Remodelling
Due to their hardness, diamonds are perfectly suited for remodelling and can look brand new once cleaned and reset into a new piece of jewellery. Throughout history, jewellery has been refashioned to suit the tastes of new owners as they are passed from one generation to the next.
Even though remodelling in not a new concept, most jewellers prefer to sell you something new. It’s easier and more profitable. Since we are both certified diamond setters and goldsmiths, our unique skillset allows us to remove and reset your gemstones with the utmost care and focus on what we care about - using resources already in circulation.
Choosing to reuse your diamonds and gemstones is a sustainable choice that reduces the impact of mining associated with the jewellery trade. It is also a more affordable solution since we accept all your old gold and offer you a credit towards the cost of the new piece.
So don’t feel stuck with jewellery that doesn’t match your style. You may know what you want or would like something custom designed, our process will transform your jewels into something you will want to wear everyday.
