While heirloom jewelry may have sentimental value, the design might not be right for you. Instead of allowing a precious item to languish in a jewelry box, why not have it turned into a stunning piece of custom jewelry? The right jeweler can work with you to enhance or incorporate it into a new piece.

From Heirloom to Custom Jewelry

All About Style

Some heirloom jewelry does not align with modern fashion trends. Many people also don’t feel comfortable wearing an overly ornate piece, either due to fear of losing or damaging it, or because it clashes with their attire. Receiving this gift from a relative may be flattering. However, it may not be your style.

Brooches, for instance, are well-suited for fancy gatherings, but hard to pull off on a daily basis, especially in some work environments. Creating custom jewelry will allow you to take elements of a brooch, such as precious stones, and integrate them into a bracelet or a pair of earrings. This way, you can feel comfortable with the way it looks.

Honoring Loved Ones

Most heirlooms have a family history. Constructing them into something new is a creative way to honor your relatives. Just as it was passed onto you, you’ll want to ensure future generations have something to remember you by in the future. You can split pieces up into different types of jewelry to pass on. A talented jeweler will be able to render an item into rings, necklaces, pendants, and so much more.
