Bespoke Modifications for Dated & Inherited Jewelry
Jewelry should be worn and celebrated, not kept locked away in a safe because the setting feels bulky, outdated, or misaligned with your style. Whether you want to reset a vintage diamond into a sleek bezel ring, turn a family brooch into a diamond pendant, or convert screw-back earrings into modern studs, our Newport Beach designers breathe new life into sentimental treasures.
We preserve the sentimental value of your original diamonds, colored gemstones, and precious gold while re-engineering the mounting for modern everyday comfort. Using 3D computer-aided design (CAD) alongside hand-carved wax molds and pinpoint laser welding, we guide you through every design evolution before casting and setting the final piece directly in our Orange County workshop.
Ready to Give Your Jewelry New Life?
Bring your unworn pieces into Newport Jewelers for an on-site design consultation. We will help you transform your sentimental stones and gold into timeless, everyday luxury right here in Newport Beach.
Our 6-Step Custom Modification Process
Every custom restyling project at Newport Jewelers combines digital design technology with traditional bench goldsmithing to ensure total structural durability and aesthetic perfection.
01
Concept & Stone Evaluation
02
Precision 3D CAD Rendering
Our designers build a photorealistic 3D CAD digital rendering of your modified piece, allowing you to preview proportions, stone positions, and profile heights from every angle.
03
Wax Prototype Approval
We create a physical wax model of your modified ring or pendant so you can see the exact scale and confirm every design detail before metal casting begins.
04
Precious Metal Casting & Fabrication
Your piece is cast in certified 14K/18K gold or platinum—or hand-fabricated by our master goldsmiths—integrating recycled metal from your original piece when appropriate.
05
Master Bench Setting & Assembly
Our master bench jewelers carefully reset your original diamonds and gemstones into their new custom-cut seats, prongs, or bezel channels with microscopic precision.
06
Hand-Finishing & Quality Certification
The finished piece undergoes multi-stage surface polishing, custom metal texturing (satin, matte, or mirror), ultrasonic deep cleaning, and a final quality inspection.

I had such a wonderful experience at Newport Jewelers, and I especially want to recognize Jacob for his exceptional customer service! I absolutely did not want to be without my ring, but it needed to be resized. Jacob got me in right away and went above and beyond to make sure I wasn’t without it for long. He had my ring resized in record time, and I couldn’t have been happier with the service and care he provided. What really stood out to me was how accommodating, professional, and kind Jacob was. Customer service like that is hard to find these days! I had actually called another jeweler in the same plaza beforehand, and the person I spoke with was extremely rude and unhelpful. The difference in customer service was honestly night and day. I highly recommend Newport Jewelers and Jacob. If you want someone who genuinely cares about their customers and takes pride in their work, definitely see Jacob! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Posted on Google![]()

Really happy with my experience at Newport Jewelers. I went in looking for an engagement ring and honestly wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted at first. Jacob was really helpful and took the time to show me different options and answer all my questions. I ended up finding a ring that I absolutely loved. The whole experience was great, and I really appreciate Jacob’s help. Definitely recommend Newport Jewelers if you’re looking for an engagement ring.Posted on Google![]()

I had a wonderful experience meeting and doing business with Jacob. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and a pleasure to work with. I needed a ring resized, and the results were even better than I expected, especially considering how significant the size change was. The craftsmanship was excellent, and the ring came back looking brand new. I was also really impressed to learn that Jacob makes his own jewelry, which shows in the quality and attention to detail of his work. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in what he does. I’m extremely happy with how my ring turned out and would highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for beautiful craftsmanship, quality work, and great service.Posted on Google![]()

I had two rings worked on by Newport Jewelers the first was a repair, stone replacement and smoothing down sharp edges making my ring more comfortable to wear. The ring is stunning, he cleaned and polished it Next I had him change the mounting of my gorgeous 12 carat vivid blue sapphire from a very old platinum ballerina styled ring. To a modern pave mounting. The ring is stunning when I saw it I got goose bumps and wanted to cry. I have never seen a more beautiful ring, and the best part is it is mine!!! Thank you so much I am so so very happyPosted on Google![]()
