Jewelry Redesign Story #62: A Clean and Simple Redesign
THE REDESIGN CHALLENGE:
Meghan had been holding on to a few old jewelry pieces over the years that she had accumulated. This included a number of Haitian pearls that she got on a trip in East Asia and had been neatly maintaining — waiting for the right moment to have them redesigned into pieces that she loved. In addition to the Haitian pearls that were currently set in a pair of leverback earrings and a spiral cuff bracelet, Meghan also had a diamond cross pendant and a garnet ring.
Meghan knew that she wanted to turn these four pieces into a couple of very simple, clean, and crisp pieces, namely a new pair of earrings, pendants, and a ring.
THE REDESIGN CONCEPT:
initial sketches
Meghan was very clear about one thing: all of the jewelry should be as clean as could be. With this in mind, we set to work on sketches for leverback earrings more suited to her simple style, a ring with the diamonds from her cross pendant and one of her Haitian pearls, and two pendants, one with a Haitian pearl and one featuring the garnet from her ring.
Meghan loved how sparse and sophisticated the designs looked and that they would utilize all of the stones she had brought to us to create four new pieces just for her.
THE REDESIGN PROCESS:
Rhino modeling (Ring)
For this set of designs, the most crucial in the Rhino modeling stage was the ring featuring the Haitian pearl and the diamonds. We needed to make sure that the diamonds were the right size to fit on the ring we had planned to create as well as to get a better idea of how these diamonds would look with the Haitian pearl.
THE REDESIGN REVEAL:
New jewelry pieces
Meghan was so happy with her new simple and clean jewelry pieces. We were so glad to see Meghan happy after she knew exactly what it was that she wanted. And we were glad to give it to her! As simple as that!
