Redesign & Resettings - Where It All Began

Jewelry redesign and resetting is where Amy Certilman and The Perfect Setting began — and it remains one of the most meaningful parts of what we do. Before custom engagement rings and curated collections, there was transformation work: taking cherished heirlooms and turning them into pieces you'd actually want to wear every day.

Your Jewelry, Reimagined

Have a piece you love but never wear? An original engagement ring or jewelry received early in a relationship that's still deeply meaningful but no longer suits your style? An heirloom that doesn't match who you are today? Diamonds or gemstones sitting in a drawer? Amy will work with you to transform them into something beautiful, wearable, and uniquely yours—honoring the sentiment while creating something you'll actually love to wear. No stone is too small or too large to be reset.

The Process

Amy collaborates with you to create a completely custom design or find the perfect pre-cast setting for your existing stones. All designs shown can be recreated and modified for your stones, or we can create something entirely new based on your vision. Available as semi-custom adaptations or fully custom commissions.

Breathe New Life Into Your Jewelry

Whether it's your grandmother's engagement ring, your original engagement ring from years ago, inherited pieces that don't suit your style, or diamonds you've been saving for the right moment—redesign and resetting work transforms jewelry you own into pieces you'll treasure and wear every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the jewelry redesign process work? It begins with a complimentary consultation with Amy Certilman, where you share your existing pieces, your vision, and your budget. Amy then proposes design options, and once approved, the transformation typically takes 4–6 weeks.

Can any stone be reset? In most cases, yes. Amy works with diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, pearls, and other gemstones of all shapes and sizes. During your consultation she'll assess the stone's condition and suitability for resetting.

What if I don't know what I want? That's completely fine — many clients come in with just a stone and an open mind. Amy guides you through the design process with sketches, inspiration images, and her expertise to help you arrive at something you'll love.
