Old gems, new designs

For the last several months people have been talking non-stop about the economy.  The summer sun seems to have lifted spirits, but we're all still keeping a close eye on our pocketbooks.  Caution is a good thing, but don't let your finances keep you from getting new jewelry!  

Studio Vincent has always done custom designs, but now, more than ever, people are opting to bring in old diamonds and gems and re-mount them in awesome new designs.  

Our clients decide to re-mount gems for all sorts of reasons.  Some have jewelry they aren't wearing, some are allergic to the white gold and some just decide they want a new and improved design.

The process of a re-mount is similar to that of a regular custom order.  Come in and sit down with us to talk about what direction you hope to take with your new jewelry.  Bring your baubles in and show us what exactly you'd like to use and how to use it.  All of the girls on the sales floor are design consultants and we are here to help you create the perfect new piece of jewelry.  

Our master goldsmith and Studio Vincent owner, Stephen Vincent, can help you visualize your design by making a CAD (computer aided design).  Below are some examples of CADs that have been done for clients, using existing gemstones.




The bottom line is that you don't have to let the lagging economy keep you from shining and sparkling this summer.  You can take grandma's diamond and set it in a funky new mounting: a perfect blend of sentiment and style.
