Jewelry Redesign

One of the most fulfilling aspects of Philippe Medawar’s Jewelry Design Services is Jewelry Redesign. When an unworn jewelry item merely sits in a bureau or safety deposit box and no one enjoys its beauty or the loving memories it once conveyed, it has lost its usefulness and, arguably, it’s value. Occasionally, jewelry gifts are given with a generous heart but for various reasons are rarely or never worn. We also inherit items that have great sentimental value but do not fit with one’s lifestyle or aesthetic sensibilities. Philippe Medawar lovingly modernizes heirlooms, old fashion wedding rings, or any sentimental item, using the same noble metals and gemstones while magically transforming them into expressions of your personal style.

"First of all, it was a pleasure to meet you. I have to say it was a wonderful surprise for me. I can’t tell you how excited I am to get the beautiful ring that you are making for me. I will wear it with pride and will be proud to share my story with others as to how this ring was made, where it was made, and how my husband surprised me. Thank you again!! I hope to do business again with you in the future."

"I brought my grandmother's engagement ring in. The ring was missing the setting and the stone also worn very thin. Mr. Medawar added my grandmother's birthstone which is a yellow citrine and my birthstone on each side which is diamond. I saw my ring and couldn't stop shaking it is so beautiful because he added my birthstone on each side of my grandmother's stone. Thank you for the wonderful creation you made for me. I will cherish my ring forever."

"The custom settings with the floating gem stones are by far the most beautiful settings I have ever seen, and there are no prongs to bend... so my wife never loses the diamond! Incredible selection of the most beautiful fine jewelry I've never seen, anywhere! I will go NO PLACE ELSE! From beautiful to exquisite, it's all under one roof."

"My wife and I would like to thank you for the wonderful work of art and skill that went into designing and crafting our beautiful Golden Anniversary Cross. It was definitely a special day for us, but this jewel studded masterpiece, commemorating fifty years of marriage, was an unanticipated highlight. The jewels representing the months of our family members’ births was unique in many ways. I have always referred to my children as the family jewels. Their subsequent marriages brought us new children and new jewels. Then, of course, the grandchildren from those unions.
We look forward to many more blessings from our wonderful Lord, all of which we hope to be represented in jewels on or around this work of art. Please accept our profound thanks for the special investment in time and talent that went into the creation of our family cross. This cross represents a symbol of our faith. It is our prayer that the Lord has blessed you as he has blessed us. I do know he has given you both a wonderful talent. We will view that artistry every day as we observe our jeweled cross in our home. I hope to meet you one day when we travel to Grand Rapids to visit our children.
Until then, may God’s peace be with you."
