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.

"OH MY GOSH! HOLY STUNNING, BEYOND WORDS, DIAMOND RING!! Philippe, you have no idea what it meant to us to have that ring on our wedding day. I did not see it until our ceremony, until our minister asked, “what do you give as a symbol of your love?” I almost fainted; and so did our photographer LOL! This ring is truly, the most stunning and beautiful diamond ring I’ve EVER laid eyes on. Words cannot express my appreciation to you for one, taking this project on just 2 weeks before the big day, and two, that it turned out to be something BEYOND my wildest dreams and expectations!!! I cannot stop smiling when I look at it! I cannot believe that I have a ring like this on MY finger! Please also give my thanks to your beautiful wife. The diamonds in the band are just perfect! I am in love and have appreciation for your talent, time and hard word to make this happen."

"We cannot thank you enough for your exceptional service and help while we designed our wedding bands/pendant. The pieces were gorgeous, service outstanding, everything was finished ahead of schedule, and we were even allowed to take the beautiful pieces before paying! I am so, so happy we found you, and hope to bring you more in the future! Thank you again so much!"

"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."
—Debbie
"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."
