Heirloom redesign
What can be reused from a piece you inherited, and how the redesign works.
What it is
Sara checks every stone first. Most diamonds and many gemstones can be reset; gold can be reused or credited toward the new piece, depending on its karat and condition.
Why people love it
- The stones and the story carry forward.
- Old gold doesn’t go to waste.
Trade-offs
- Not every old stone survives resetting; chips and thin girdles show up under the loupe.
- Old gold is usually refined rather than melted straight into the new piece, so its value becomes a credit.
