One of the most beautiful parts of jewelry is the story that each piece tells; fine jewelry lives for generations, and holds so much meaning.
Sometimes, your jewelry needs a little refresh. Perhaps it's resetting your grandmothers diamond in a more secure setting, or changing the metal color. Sometimes a ring isn't practical, but you still want to wear the gemstone or diamond.
What happens then?
💡 We Can Custom Set Your Jewelry
Most gemstones can be reset in a new piece, and the options are truly endless for what you can do! Here are a few of our most popular resetting styles...
The Skeie's Bezel Necklace
Here's why we love this one...
- The secure setting style of a bezel protects your gemstone from all angles; especially for more delicate stones like opal and sunstone, the bezel style is a great reset option
- You can use just about any gemstone shape and cut, from a cabochon oval to a rose-cut pear
- The bezel necklace always fits, so if you're thinking about resetting your gemstones as a gift for someone, you don't have to worry about finger size or having to adjust the fit down the road.
The Bezel Pendant starts at $725
😍 Our favorite way to set the bezel pendant is with the chain soldered right to the pendant (that way, the clasp doesn't slide around!) but we can also set it with a bail so you can change the chain out for endless personalization options. Just let us know which one you prefer.
For the Small, Mismatched, Varying Size Diamonds
Often, a previous reset or a family heirloom comes with a handful of loose melee (small) diamonds. They can be tricky to envision in a re-imagined piece, so we took the work out of it for you and came up with a few favorite, easy-to-wear styles that are perfect for loose accent diamonds and gemstones.
The Scatter Band
The Skeie's Scatter Band is designed to be fully customized - set it with diamonds, rubies, sapphires... whatever you want, and the great thing about the scattered setting style is that the stones can be varying sizes, qualities, and shapes. It makes this style truly personalized and perfect for telling your story!
The Scatter Band starts at $2200
The Station Necklace
A favorite for many reasons - the Skeie's Station Necklace is designed to be set with your choice of stones in secure bezel-settings and soldered to the chain of your choice. It's your choice of chain style, length, metal color/type, and stone selection so the options are truly endless.
The Station Necklace starts at $300/bezel + your choice of chain
How Does it Work?
We have an expert team of jewelers and goldsmiths in-house that can bring your ideas to life. Here is what you can expect when you make an appointment to reset your jewelry...
- At your initial consultation, we will look at what you'd like to have reset; you can bring in loose stones, set jewelry, and metals. Bring along any inspiration pictures you have or ideas for what you may want to turn your pieces into!
- We'll evaluate your pieces with you for stone condition and make sure your diamonds and gemstones are safe to be re-set. In some cases, we may need to remove a stone from it's original setting to ensure it doesn't have any major resetting concerns.
- Your custom specialist will work with our designers to bring a visual image to life of your ideas and design preferences. This can be anything from a sketch to a computer-generated image
- Once you've approved the design, we will get all the pricing details + timeline so you know what exactly what to expect
- Our team will get to work on resetting your gemstones and bringing your newly re-imagined pieces to life
- Our quality-check process is strict, and we take time and care in making sure your new piece is crafted to the highest standards and polished to perfection
- Your custom specialist will keep in touch and let you know as soon as your new piece is ready to go!
- As with all of your Skeie's and non-Skeie's jewelry, you're welcome in anytime to have your pieces cleaned and checked
Can the Gold or Platinum Be Re-Used?
While we aren't able to re-use the same metal, you do have the option of using the leftover gold/platinum from the original setting as a credit towards your new piece. You can bring in any old gold or platinum, even if it's broken chain, and apply the credit towards your Skeie's piece.
A Few More Favorite Reset Ideas...
Holding onto a pearl strand that you just don't wear? Reinvent it as a pearl bracelet or station necklace!
We can re-string your pearl strand into whatever length you'd like, and can add chain to make it a more casual piece in your collection.
If you're a bracelet stacker, add your extra loose gemstones or diamonds to your favorite bracelet as a way to personalize your set.
We always love a bezel setting for it's security benefits, but you can customize it a few different ways to make it perfectly yours!
