Jewellery Redesigns in Toronto

A jewellery redesign takes your existing pieces — whether they are outdated, damaged, inherited, or simply no longer your style — and transforms them into something entirely new. Sergio carefully deconstructs your original jewellery, salvaging the precious metals and gemstones, and works with you to design a fresh piece that reflects your current taste and lifestyle. The sentimental value of your original materials is preserved while the design is brought into the present. It is a meaningful way to honor the history of a piece while ensuring it gets worn and enjoyed rather than sitting forgotten in a drawer.

Absolutely. Using your own gold and gemstones is at the heart of what we do with redesigns. We can melt down and refine your existing gold to create new settings, and we carefully remove and re-set your diamonds and gemstones into the new design. If your existing materials are not sufficient for the new piece you envision — for example, if you want a larger ring or need additional accent stones — we can supplement with new materials. Sergio will assess your materials during the initial consultation, weigh and test everything, and give you a clear picture of what can be reused and what, if anything, needs to be added.

Most jewellery redesigns are completed within three to four weeks from the time your design is finalized. This timeline includes carefully deconstructing your original piece, refining and preparing the materials, crafting the new setting or structure, and setting your stones. More complex projects — such as combining materials from multiple pieces, working with intricate vintage elements, or creating elaborate multi-stone designs — may take longer. Sergio provides a realistic timeline during your consultation and keeps you updated at every stage of the process so there are no surprises.

In many cases, yes. Since you are providing the gold, diamonds, and gemstones, the primary cost is Sergio’s design expertise and craftsmanship rather than raw materials. This can result in significant savings compared to purchasing a brand-new piece of equivalent quality. The exact cost depends on the complexity of the design, whether additional materials are needed, and the amount of labour involved. During your consultation, you will receive a transparent, itemized quote so you can compare the value of a redesign against purchasing new. Most clients find that redesigning delivers a higher-quality, more personal result at a fraction of the cost of buying retail.
