Custom Jewelry: 5 Ways to Repurpose Diamonds

Custom Jewelry: 5 Ways to Repurpose Diamonds

Custom jewelry is a wonderful way to make what’s old new again and breathe new life into the stones that you own. It’s common for diamonds to be passed down through generations. A piece may change many hands, but its style may not. And while the sentiment of an heirloom stone or piece is priceless, sometimes, the style just isn’t right for the wearer.

If you’re considering a custom design, here are five jewelry staples to think about.


Giving New Life to Diamonds with Custom Jewelry

Earrings
If you have a set of diamonds of equal cut and size, refashioning them into a new set of earrings can make for a perfect pair that’s truly you and unique. From chandelier to simple studs and jackets, there are many ways to design around your diamonds. You can add more stones or let their singular beauty speak for themselves.

Fashion Rings 
Part of the beauty of custom jewelry is the control you can have over the elements that go into your piece. From gold to rhodium plating, ring settings, and gemstone additions, it’s all up to your unique vision and personal style. Fashion rings are a very popular way to repurpose diamonds. They’re a versatile piece of jewelry that can be designed for everyday wear or for those special occasions. A piece with personality that’s one-of-a-kind—just like you!

Necklaces
Neckwear is another custom jewelry option popular with repurposing diamonds. Whether a pendant, choker, or lariat design, there are so many ways to display your diamonds in new, fashion-forward ways when selecting a necklace for your diamond redesign. Neckwear also helps put your stones at the front and center, so your diamonds are always in view.

Bracelets
Whether you’re repurposing diamonds from multiple pieces or looking to refashion a single stone, a custom bracelet is an option you may want to consider. Like any custom piece, you can add more diamonds to your design or keep things simple with a center stone.

Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands
Because diamonds often hold sentimental value and get passed down, it’s not uncommon for these stones to be gifted to young couples with the intention of including them in an engagement ring or wedding band. Whether a center stone on a band or accent stones in a setting, repurposing diamonds for engagement is perhaps the most special way to give new life to the stone.

No matter if you’ve inherited an antique stone or have several older pieces in your collection you do not wear, there’s no life for a diamond forever locked in a jewelry box. Bring them back to life with custom jewelry design.
