A Sentimental Transformation: Rhian's Ring Remodel Journey
As co-owner of a jewellery design studio on the Sunshine Coast, I often witness the transformative power of jewellery remodelling. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with Rhian, a client whose engagement ring held deep sentimental value but needed a new look to match her evolving style.
Rhian's engagement ring featured a stunning natural round brilliant cut diamond, but after a decade, its white gold setting felt outdated to her. Her preferences had shifted towards yellow gold, prompting her to seek a redesign.
We collaborated closely with Rhian, understanding her desire to retain the essence of her original ring while incorporating her evolving style. After careful consideration, we decided to add two baguette-cut natural diamonds to the sides of her existing diamond.
What made this redesign particularly special was the origin of the baguette cut stones. The diamonds were originally owned by Rhian's grandmother, making them precious family heirlooms. Incorporating these diamonds not only added sentimental value to the ring but also connected Rhian to her family's past.
When Rhian's mother saw the remodelled ring with her mother's diamonds, she was deeply moved. Losing her mother at a young age, the ring became a tangible connection to her past and a symbol of enduring family bonds.
This project highlights the beauty of jewellery beyond its aesthetics. It serves as a reminder of the stories and emotions that each piece can carry, making them timeless treasures cherished for generations.
