Jewelry modification is an excellent option for broken jewelry that cannot be completely repaired, old jewelry that is no longer in style, jewelry you received in a past relationship, and more.

Common Types of Modifications
- Stone Replacement/Swapping - Swapping out stones to a different color can completely change the look of the piece, especially in combination with the metal color. You can also opt for a new stone that is larger or different in shape if the original setting allows for it.
- Metal Color Change - The color of metal can be changed using a variety of methods. Plating is a popular option which is a non-permanent method of applying another metal on top of the jewelry’s surface to make it a different color. Plating can be done with yellow gold in various karat shades, rose gold, and rhodium.
- Setting Replacement/Addition - Setting replacements are typically done if the piece needs a different setting to fit a new stone, or if you want to change up the style to something different. Setting additions are a little more complicated and the item will need to be assessed to see if it can be modified in such a way to accommodate a setting.
- Style Swap - The quintessential jewelry modification! Converting one type of jewelry to another such as brooches into pendants, cufflinks to earrings, or earrings to rings. Your item will need to be assessed in order to see how it can be changed into another item.
