Beautifully Repurposed--Restyle your Engagement Ring or Design Something New
Beautifully Repurposed--Restyle your Engagement Ring or Design Something New
You still love each other, but do you still love the look of your engagement ring? Don't feel bad if the answer is "no." Styles change and sometimes so do our own personal tastes. The beauty of it is that you can love your engagement ring again by restyling it into something new! Sometimes, it can be a very subtle change, like a metal color change, or maybe adding a halo around your existing diamond! You might be surprised how your "old" ring can still look like the ring you received at your proposal with a few little tweaks! But these tweaks can really make a big difference. It's still your ring, after all...Just improved. Many couples choose to buy a new setting or do a custom design that still feels like their "ring." It is a wonderful way to celebrate an anniversary, or to just celebrate your love.
But, I don't want to hurt my partner's feelings
Frequently, a spouse feels that they will hurt their partner's feelings if they say that they want a new look for their engagement ring. In reality, it has been our experience that the complete opposite is true. Working together, couples often enjoy the process of finding a new setting or creating a new look for their diamond. The process is fun and brings them together to celebrate their love. They can either choose a simple restyle, by picking a new setting for their diamond, or they can create a custom design. Sometimes, they even incorporate diamonds from other pieces of jewelry or from an heirloom piece that is sitting in the jewelry box. The truth is, your partner wants you to be happy--and happy with your decision to have said "yes" in the first place, and this usually means that they are happy to meet with a jeweler to discuss taking a look at how to fall in love with your ring again.
Adding and Upgrading Really Brings the Sparkle
A Classic 3-Stone Ring is a wonderful look
Another choice some couples make is to add or upgrade the existing engagement ring. This is done in several ways including:1. Less sentimental couples may trade in their diamond and upgrade to a new one2. Some work with the existing diamond and decide to embelish or add to it. Adding a Halo, or sidestones to the ring really enhances the look3. Couples create a three stone ring. Their past, present, and future is important to many couples and can be executed beautifully and sentimentally with a three-stone ring4. Adding more diamonds or gemstones and getting a larger look is a frequent choice
Finally, some couples do buy all new, but decide to save their "old" ring, perhaps gifting it to a child for them to use in their proposal. Its a lovely way to pass down some love.
Family Heirlooms: Use them or Create them and Give your Jewelry New Life
There are many reasons why you may want to repurpose a piece of jewelry. Take for example, an heirloom piece of jewelry. Perhaps, the style is no longer your taste, or maybe you want to incorporate diamonds from the ring into a new piece of jewelry. So, when we talk about repurposing a family jewelry, we are taking the incredible story of that family heirloom and giving it a new life.You will keep your family story alive while also creating something new and beautiful that you can enjoy for years to come.
Your heirloom ring might be financially similar to the ring you might buy today, but when you consider the additional sentimental value, suddenlyyourring is now priceless in value, and with such an invaluable item in your possession, what are your options of what you can do with the engagement ring and/or the diamond in it? Fortunately, you have many options at your disposal. It all comes down to preference and creativity.
Design a new custom, one-of-a-kind Engagement Ringor a new piece of jewelry with your Heirloom pieces:
This is probably the most popular option as it allows you to keep the tradition of the family engagement ring alive while also creating something unique and tailor-made for you. Take the round-cut diamond in all its brilliance and use it as the nucleus of a brand-new engagement ring. Change anything from the setting to the metals and everything in-between but as it stands, you know you have your diamond shining with a beautiful history.
Now you are ready to create something stunning and, at the same time,nostalgic.
But what if we broke outside that box and instead, createdmultiplepieces of jewelry from a family heirloom? For an example, a large diamond and gemstone heirloom cocktail ring, is sometimes very versitile and allows a jewelry designer to multiple pieces of jewelry such as a necklace, bracelet, or a smallerring.You'llbe repurposing everything in your family heirloom ring: the metal, the gemstones, the diamonds, and more.Sometimes, families will create multiple pieces so that several other family members can have a piece of a jewelry, frequently it is a sentimental offering that becomes enjoyed for the next generation, and beyond.
Custom Design your Ring into a One-of-a-king
Enjoy your Jewelry
We tell our clients everyday, "Your jewelry is meant to be worn and enjoyed." Jewelry is about happiness, and your jewelry isn't happy when it is sitting in the jewelry box. And, your not happy if it is sitting there. So, repurposing it in some way truly is a celebration of new life! And a celebration of Love!

Impact100 Hunterdon Hosts Event at Roman Jewelers with Impact100 Global Founder
On Tuesday, May 7th, the Impact100 Hunterdon chapter will host a night of networking, education, and inspiration at the Roman Jewelers Bridgewater showroom from 7:00pm – 9:00pm. Founded in 2023, Impact100 Hunterdon is a new chapter of the Global Impact100 initiative. Impact100 Founder, Wendy Steele, will share what inspired her to start what is now a global organization with 60 chapters in the United States and beyond and over $123 million dollars granted to transform communities.
Impact100 was founded by Wendy Steele in 2001 in response to feeling as though women’s roles in philanthropy needed a new way to be expanded and encouraged. Wendy launched the organization with the goal of empowering women to see themselves as activists through utilizing large grants to make an impact within their communities. In a recent TEDTalk, Wendy expressed concern about the decline in overall giving and individual donations reported by Giving USA. She said, “Generosity is the most powerful lever we have to change the world, and everyone can do it.”
The Impact100 model is simple: at least 10 women come together to donate at least $1,000 each so that a $100,000 transformational grant can be made to a local charity. Grants are available to eligible nonprofits across five broad focus areas: Arts & Culture; Family; Education; Health & Wellness; and Environment, Preservation, and Recreation. Impact100 is dedicated to offering dedicated women a framework to help take their philanthropic work to the next level, making a transformational difference in their communities. Impact100 is a place for women who care deeply, who dream wildly, and who believe that, together, they are an unstoppable force for good.
Founded in 2023 in partnership with Binnacle House Community Foundation, Impact100 Hunterdon believes that women have the power to transform the Hunterdon community through collective giving. The new chapter is driving towards a goal of 100 women in membership by June 30th, 2024. They intend to announce the grant process and begin accepting grant applications by mid-July and award a $100,000 transformational grant to a Hunterdon County nonprofit in November. More than just a fundraising effort, Impact100 Hunterdon provides events, networking, and educational opportunities to gather women together and become an unstoppable force for good. The group aims to spread awareness about the needs in Hunterdon County, the work that Hunterdon nonprofits are doing, and how we can all help. All interested women are encouraged to come to the May 7th event to find out more and be inspired by this incredible initiative. More information is available at the Impact100 Hunterdon website https://impact100hunterdon.org/.
Anyone interested in attending the May 7th event with Wendy Steele at Roman Jewelers is asked to RSVP to Binnacle House CEO, Lawrence Brooks, at lbrooks@binnaclehouse.org.
Impact100 Hunterdon is hosted by the Binnacle House Community Foundation who invites everyone to join this incredible effort to impact our community. More information is available at the Impact100 Hunterdon website https://impact100hunterdon.org/.

WhatWe Believe
We believe that gemstones are God’s rare and amazing creations. They, by their very nature, are intrinsically beautiful.
We believe that each and every gemstone should be carefully and skillfully, cut and fashioned, to bring out its greatest internal beauty.
We believe that the process of ‘mine’ to ‘you’, should be marked by the same beauty and should reflect a flow that adds value to each person who touches it.
We believe that the gemstone miners, the cutters, the jewelry artisans along with you and your clients, should share the benefits of added value, opportunity and fair-trade.
We strive to accomplish the above in all we do. That’s why we are different and that’s why we invite you to “Experience the Difference” at Artinian Gems.
