Bring Your Gems to Life: Our Jewellery Redesign & Gemstone Setting Service

 
 

Have a loose gemstone sitting in a drawer? Inherited an old piece that’s not your style? Wondering, “Can a jeweller make a ring with my stone?” The answer is simple: yes. At Simon Wright Jewellery, we specialise in custom jewellery and offer a full jewellery stone setting service tailored to your needs. Whether it’s a family heirloom, a gem you picked up on your travels, or a stone with deep sentimental value, we can help you turn it into something beautiful and wearable.

Can You Bring Your Own Gemstone to a Jeweller?

Yes, you absolutely can. At our London bespoke jewellery studio, we often work with clients who already have a diamond, sapphire, emerald, ruby, or any other gemstone and want to transform it into something new. It might be a gemstone engagement ring, a bespoke necklace, a custom bracelet, or diamond stud earrings - we do it all.

We’re commonly asked questions like “can I use my own stone for an engagement ring?” or “can I get a jeweller to set my gemstone?” That’s exactly what we offer: custom jewellery made to fit your unique stone, taste, and story.

Our Services, Built Around Your Gem

At Simon Wright Jewellery, ring redesign is fast becoming one of our most requested services. Many people come to us with a stone they love, but a setting they don’t, or a ring that no longer suits their style or needs. 

Resetting gemstones is a popular way to give a ring a fresh start or to mount your stone more securely into a completely new design, without the additional cost of purchasing new gemstones. And better yet, repurposing old jewellery allows the stone to have a second life, rather than gathering dust.

With decades of experience in handmade jewellery and a growing reputation for jewellery redesign in London, we’ll make sure your stone is treated with care and craftsmanship - from the initial consultation through to the delivery of your beautifully handcrafted piece.

What Types of Stones Can Be Set?

We work with a wide range of gemstones, including:

If the stone is suitable and in good condition, we can use it. However, not all stones can be reused, and that’s important to understand before moving forward.

When Stones Can’t Be Reused

This part is crucial. Some older pieces can have hidden damage. Cracks, chips, or poor original cuts can make a stone unsuitable for resetting. In some cases, simply removing the gem from its existing setting can cause damage. We’ll always inspect your stone and give you honest advice about its condition before proceeding with any ring redesign or resetting gemstones.

We want you to be fully informed. That’s part of the transparency you get with a true bespoke jewellery experience.

What Kind of Jewellery Can Be Made With My Stone?

Pretty much anything you can imagine. Whether you're after:

  • A custom engagement ring using your grandmother’s diamond

  • A bespoke bracelet using inherited sapphires

  • A pendant necklace featuring a loose emerald you bought on holiday

  • Bespoke earrings made from matching tourmalines

  • Bespoke cufflinks with striking aquamarines

Our custom jewellery service is built to bring your vision to life. You’re not limited to rings. You’re not limited to traditional designs. We collaborate with you to design something that reflects your taste and tells your story.

The Process: From Stone to Statement

  1. Consultation
    You bring in your stone (or old piece) and we discuss what you want. Whether you’re looking to repurpose old jewellery or go bold with a brand-new design, we’ll guide you through options.

  2. Inspection
    We carefully assess the stone. This step is vital to ensure the gemstone is in good enough condition for resetting.

  3. Design Proposal
    Based on your style, budget, and the stone itself, we sketch out and present design concepts. Every piece of jewellery is bespoke, and we involve you in each step.

  4. Crafting
    Simon brings your design to life. Each piece of bespoke jewellery is crafted in our London studio to the highest standards.

  5. Completion & Collection
    Once finished, your piece is ready to wear or gift. You’ll have a unique, personal, and durable item you can treasure for years.

Common Jewellery Redesign Questions

  1. Can a jeweller set a loose diamond?
    Yes - and we do this often. Whether it’s a newly purchased diamond or one taken from an old ring, our diamond setting service ensures a secure and beautiful result.

  2. Can you bring your own diamond to a jeweller?
    Yes. Many clients come to us after buying a stone abroad or inheriting one. We design a custom piece around it to your exact taste.

  3. Can you turn my gemstone into jewellery?
    Absolutely. Whether it’s a ruby from a grandmother’s ring or a sapphire you bought years ago, we’ll turn it into stunning bespoke jewellery.

  4. Can I get my gemstone made into an engagement ring?
    Yes - that’s a big part of what we do. Whether you’re looking for a modern halo setting or something traditional, we can guide you through a range of engagement ring design options.
