Jewelry is more than just decoration—it’s memory, history, and love captured in precious metals and stones. Over the years, in my many years working at Fortunoff Jewelry, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients who came in with family treasures: gold lockets that belonged to a grandmother, diamond rings from a mother, or pearls handed down through generations. Often, these pieces were beautiful, but they didn’t quite fit the owner’s style—or perhaps they were no longer wearable.

My jewelry redesign services can make all the difference. At EFG Designs, our goal is to honor the history of each piece while transforming it into something you will wear, treasure, and even pass down in the future. And let me tell you: seeing a client’s face light up when they wear a redesigned heirloom never gets old!

Why You Should Consider Heirloom Jewelry Redesign

Jewelry doesn’t have to sit in a box. Jewelry, like special memories, are meant to be enjoyed. Sometimes a piece feels outdated or just doesn’t fit your style. Perhaps a grandmother’s ring has a setting that looks too traditional. Maybe your mother’s necklace is gorgeous but too fragile for everyday wear.

Instead of hiding these treasures away, we can redesign inherited jewelry into wearable pieces that honor the past while embracing the present. It’s not about replacing what you’ve inherited—it’s about reimagining it.

How the Process Works

I often tell my clients: think of us as working together on a story that spans generations. The process starts with a phone call and then an in-person meeting for a custom jewelry redesign consultation. We’ll review your existing collection, discuss your style, and explore the possibilities for your jewelry’s new life.

During the consultation, we consider:

  • Which elements are most important to preserve (a diamond, a gemstone, or a special setting).
  • How to transform your special jewelry into pieces you’ll wear with pride.
  • The level of transformation you want—sometimes subtle tweaks, other times complete redesigns.


After that, our team of specialists sketch out concepts. We’ll discuss how your jewelry can take shape in fresh, new ways. We refine the design until it feels just right, then carefully craft the piece, so your heirloom’s story is preserved.

Tips for a Successful Jewelry Redesign

To make the most of a heirloom jewelry redesign, I recommend:

  1. Identify your favorites: Pick the pieces that truly matter to you, even if they seem too old-fashioned to wear.
  2. Be open to transformation: Some designs need to be completely reimagined to suit your style. As your jewelry redesign specialist, I bring creativity and practical skills to the table.
  3. Think about your lifestyle: Do you want a piece for everyday wear or special occasions? Look through magazines or find images for inspiration.


Things To Consider

If you’ve ever wondered what you could do with that box of jewelry, I encourage you to explore our jewelry redesign service. Whether it’s a family heirloom or a beloved but outdated piece, we can help you redesign your jewelry into a contemporary style that feels meaningful and beautiful.

At EFG Designs, we don’t just create jewelry. Every consultation is a thoughtful exploration of what you would like. Every project is different! The beauty of working with me as your jewelry redesign specialist is that we talk through your vision keeping to a budget.
