Heirloom & Family Jewelry

Celebrating the past, designing for the future.

Let Your Story Sparkle

Diamonds and precious gemstones become a beautiful way to tell our family story and pass on memories from one generation to the next. We'd love to help you design a new piece from family stones or craft a piece to start a new tradition.

 

Family Stones for an Engagement Ring

At Faithful Platform, we understand how important it is for you to preserve your family's history while expressing your unique style. That's why we make it easy to incorporate your cherished family diamonds into new engagement ring settings that reflect your personal taste. Our expert designers will work closely with you to create a bespoke design that seamlessly blends the timeless allure of your heirloom diamonds with contemporary elegance.

Whether you envision a modern halo setting or a custom-designed solitaire, each piece we craft tells a story of love, heritage, and individuality. With our commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail, we ensure that your engagement ring becomes a timeless symbol of both your past and your future.

Re-setting the Center Stone

We've designed many engagement rings over the years that feature a family stone as the sparkling center stone and main focal point of the ring. It's always so special to work with a couple who wants to preserve a beautiful family legacy through a passed-down stone or a mother looking to pass on her stone and then re-design a new ring for herself. We are here to work with you from start to finish, offering guidance and expertise every step of the way. Taking the center stone from an old ring and putting it into a new setting is fairly straightforward and we are happy to give you an estimate of how that will impact your timeline for custom ring production.

Reimagining a Family Piece

We also love designing new pieces with our clients using family heirloom pieces or stones. Recently, we helped a soon-to-be bride turn her grandmother's diamond ring into a necklace that she can wear on her wedding day and every day after to honor her grandmother. The diamond was set in a simple solitaire setting and slides on a dainty gold chain that will look timeless for years to come. Here at Faithful Platform, we believe what is old can truly be new again!

If you have an idea of how you'd like to transform some of your heirloom pieces, our designers would love to work with you to turn that into a reality. It's a joy to collaborate with you in imagining the ways you can style these stones and precious metals to match your vision. We've worked on family rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and broaches and always treat each piece with the utmost level of care in the process.

Creating New Heirlooms

While we love working with existing family stones, we also believe there is great beauty in creating brand-new pieces that you will get to pass down to future generations. You may be envisioning a necklace that each woman in your family can wear on her wedding day, or perhaps you want a tennis bracelet that diamonds can be added to when more members of the family come along. When you work with a custom jeweler, the options are truly endless. If you can dream it, we can do it!

Birthstone Jewelry

A classic and timeless way to create family heirlooms is through the use of birthstones. We have so many clients who come back for birthstone jewelry after designing their engagement ring and wedding bands with us. Stackable bands have become a popular way to celebrate the birth of a new child or to capture significant moments in time for you as a couple. Birthstone jewelry makes for intentional and thoughtful birthday, Christmas, and anniversary gifts as well. Your consultant will work with you to determine the right shade and shape of each stone to ensure we capture your vision for this new family heirloom. Again, the possibilities are endless and you can let your creativity run wild in the design process!
