Old Bones Made New
At Exodus Goldsmiths, we specialize in bringing new life to old jewelry. We know first hand that there is little else that compares to the sense of connection and love you get from wearing a piece of jewelry you inherited or were gifted by someone you love. We believe that jewelry holds stories, and our goal is to honor the history behind each piece while giving it new life through thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship.Whether you have a loose gemstone or a handful of grandma's old rings, we can turn them into a new heirloom piece for you love and cherish, and then one day pass on to a loved one.

Consultation
Fill out the form below to begin! Share your story, ideas, hopes, timeline, and ideal budget. Then, I will send you our Custom Design Contract where the terms and conditions must be read and agreed to before I begin working on the piece. I require a non-refundable 50% deposit. Custom orders are non-refundable or exchangeable. Re-Designs typically begin at $1,800 USD.
​
Stone Assessment
I will remove your stones from your existing jewelry, clean them, evaluate and photograph them, and then provide a full take-in report delivered 3-5 business days after I receive the jewelry piece(s). This report is not an official appraisal but a snapshot of the pieces you have, evaluating their compatibility with your new design.
Design
I will hand draw 2-3 design options for you as a starting point, using the heirloom stones you've supplied. From there I will work with you closely to nail down the perfect design.
Finally, I will have a hyper-realistic rendering made where you can really get a visual of the final piece!
Production
From here on, I will personally hand craft your new heirloom piece. I will stay in touch with you throughout the entire 4-8 week process!
I can send progress photos upon request, but be warned! It's a dirty job and you will need to trust the process! Nothing beautiful ever started out that way. But I promise you'll love the final piece.
Heirloom Redesign
The Process

"We had such a wonderful experience working with Beth! She helped us create something incredibly meaningful by repurposing my mom’s diamond for my engagement ring and incorporating stones from my fiancé’s grandmother into my wedding band. The result was more beautiful than we could have imagined — timeless, personal, and full of family history.She was easy to contact throughout the whole process, open to collaboration, and moved quickly without sacrificing quality. Her attention to detail and care made the whole experience feel so special. We’re so grateful for her craftsmanship and would recommend her to anyone looking for jewelry with heart and soul. We will be contacting her for future pieces!!"

My Grandmother Gave Me Her Diamond, Can I Use it in An Engagement Ring?Absolutely! These are my favorite types of projects. The sentimentality of family jewels cannot be understated nor undervalued. I will personally evaluate the stone(s) and come up with the best way to incorporate them into your new ring!

How Much Does An Heirloom Redesign Cost?The cost of an heirloom redesign depends on the complexity of the design, the precious metals used, any new stones added, and the components used from the previous piece of jewelry. The Heirloom Re-Design process generally starts at $1,800 USD.

I Have Gold From an Old Ring, Can You Melt it Down and Use for The New Ring?While all of the metals we use are reclaimed and recycled, I cannot melt down multiple old pieces to create one new piece. Melting down unknown metal alloys and crafting it into a new piece is more than likely to compromise the structural integrity of the new piece. Imperfections in the metal from previous repairs will usually cause porosity and crystalline alloy clumps. This would render the new jewelry structurally unstable. Think of it like mixing a bunch of different cake batters together and trying to bake them properly all at once.
-
What Can You Make With This Handful of Old Jewelry From My Aunt?Together we will go through each piece of jewelry to determine what stones/elements are usable in your new design. I can use most diamonds, sapphire, rubies, and nearly any other gemstone in your newly designed heirloom piece!

How Does The Stone Assessment Work?My stone evaluation process is extremely thorough. Often, well-loved gemstones will have damage due to long years of wear. Before I remove the stones from their current settings, I deep clean them. Next, I will photograph the stones before they are removed from the setting. Under a microscope, I look for any damaged stones. If a stone appears to be broken or chipped, I will not remove it from the setting. I will contact you immediately with pictures and receive written consent to continue, at the risk of the stone becoming damaged further. I am not liable for any stones that come into my care that have been previously damaged. Depending on the severity of the damage, I can determine if the stone can be used in the new design or sent to a stone cutter to be recut. Unfortunately, there is high risk with setting a broken stone, so most likely I would not be able to use it in your new design. There are. certain gemstones that are not recommended to be set in rings that are to be work daily, those stones include but are not limited to: quartz, coral, turquoise, opal.

"Elizabeth did a fantastic job on both my engagement ring and wedding earrings. She was able to take my husband’s great grandmother's ring and reform it in to a new piece for me. She did the same with my earrings, creating a new look with pearls from my grandma's necklace. She was attentive, timely, and is a true craftsman at heart! Would recommend wholeheartedly!"
