Resetting - Vintage Brooch Becomes Bezel Set Diamond Necklace
A 1940s diamond brooch, too beautiful to leave in a box — reimagined into something you can wear every day.
The Story Behind This Reset:
Our client had a stunning vintage diamond brooch from the 1940s — the kind of piece with real history behind it. The diamonds were bezel set and hanging from the brooch in the most elegant way. Rather than let it sit unworn, we carefully removed the bezel set diamonds, selected an 18K yellow gold chain, and set each bezel individually along it. The result is a necklace that feels both modern and deeply rooted in the original piece. And the brooch? Cleaned, polished, and fully intact — she can still wear it.

I can't simply review this spectacular piece without telling a story...\nI hired Amy to do an estate evaluation. It took quite a while to do the preliminary review of the items in the safe deposit box, and the process was emotional for me. When Amy saw this piece she envisioned something that I would have never seen; the stones hanging down could be perfect for diamonds by the yard. \nI quickly dismissed the idea of breaking up the brooch and we moved on to the next item. I left in tucked away in the safe deposit box. It was over a month later that conversation came back to me. \nI was ready. \nI called Amy and told her I wanted to revisit her idea. \nWhat resulted is not only a stunning necklace, but also the brooch remains intact. \nThank you Amy for your patience, your eye for design and making this something I can really wear!

This white gold diamond tennis bracelet is absolutely beautiful
This white gold diamond tennis bracelet is absolutely beautiful. The flexible, oval design fits my wrist perfectly and feels incredibly comfortable to wear all day., in fact I never take it off. The clasp is easy to use, lies completely flush with the bracelet, and never catches on clothing looking seamless and elegant. It’s both practical and stunning, and quickly became one of my favorite everyday pieces.

Beautiful Tennis Necklace
The quality of this Tennis necklace is outstanding! I chose yellow gold for a little bit more casual look and it pairs well with a lot of different necklaces I own or it’s great on its own. Amy was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend the Perfect Setting.
