Transforming Sentiment into Stunning Jewellery

At Duffs Jewellers, the design process can often be a delightful challenge. Many of our clients arrive with cherished heirlooms—rings and stones collected over the years, filled with stories and memories. They might bring in "Nana's Ring" or pieces from parents, hoping to breathe new life into these sentimental treasures and create something uniquely their own.

As our award-winning head designer, Jess, navigates this creative journey, she understands the deep emotional connection clients have to their jewellery. To kick off the process, Jess encourages clients to share references, whether it’s a picture of a design they admire or details about their dream piece. This helps her gain insight into their vision and preferences.

Jess then skilfully guides clients through the possibilities, explaining which stones are suitable for their design and how she can rework existing pieces into something fresh and beautiful. This collaboration is not just about aesthetics; it requires a careful balance between sentimental value and practical design. Jess emphasises the importance of functionality, ensuring that each new piece not only reflects the client’s vision but is also wearable for everyday life.

Building this trust is crucial, as Jess works to honour the past while creating a stunning new piece. By integrating beloved elements from the original jewellery with modern design techniques, she crafts pieces that resonate emotionally and stand the test of time.

At Duffs Jewellers, we take pride in transforming your sentimental jewellery into pieces you’ll cherish and wear with love. Whether you’re looking to reimagine a family heirloom or create something entirely new, our dedicated team is here to guide you every step of the way.
