Do you have a piece of inherited jewellery tucked away in a drawer, unworn because it just doesn’t feel like you? Maybe it’s a ring from your grandmother or a necklace from an aunt - beautiful, sentimental, but not quite your style. Instead of letting those treasures gather dust, why not reimagine them into pieces you’ll love to wear every day?
At Kolmio, we believe heirloom jewellery deserves a new life. By resetting stones and repurposing metals, we can transform outdated designs into modern pieces that reflect your unique style. Let me share a story about how we did just that for one of our clients.
A Client's Heirloom Transformation
Our client came to us with a collection of heirloom diamonds and mabe pearls, all sitting unused in their original, dated settings. She wanted something unique, modern, and totally her - jewellery she could wear daily and feel amazing in. We got to work, carefully removing the stones and pearls from their old settings to create something new.
First, we designed a sleek setting for a ring to highlight the mabe pearl’s natural glow. It’s simple, classic, and makes a quiet statement. Next, we took her grandmother’s diamonds and crafted a one-of-a-kind cluster ring that’s bold and beautiful. We’re absolutely obsessed with how it turned out, and so is she!
With the remaining gold, she chose our 1.5mm Everyday Gold Band, Everyday Gold Hoops, and Channel Set Diamond Huggies that’s her new go-to essentials. These pieces aren’t just jewellery - they’re a celebration of her family’s history, reimagined to match her personal style.
Why Reset Your Heirlooms?
Heirloom jewellery carries stories, memories, and meaning, but it doesn’t have to stay stuck in the past. Resetting stones and repurposing materials lets you honour those connections while creating pieces you’ll actually wear. Whether it’s a single diamond reset into a necklace or a full collection of diamonds transformed into a statement ring, the possibilities are endless.
Here’s why you should consider reimagining your heirlooms:
1. Make It Yours
Turn pieces that don't suit your style into designs that feel uniquely you.
2. Wear It Daily
Create versatile jewellery that fits your everyday life, from casual outfits to special occasions.
3. Preserve The Sentiment
Keep the emotional value of your heirlooms while giving them a fresh, modern look.
