Breathing New Life into Heirlooms: Turning Family Jewelry into Custom Engagement Rings in Santa Rosa

At Olde Towne Jewelers, we know that heirloom jewelry holds far more than monetary value — it carries legacy, love, and personal history. If you have a treasured family piece tucked away in a drawer, consider transforming it into a one-of-a-kind custom engagement ring. It’s a beautiful way to honor the past while creating something meaningful for your future.

Whether you’re working with a vintage brooch, an antique diamond ring, or a strand of pearls, our team in Santa Rosa can help you redesign these pieces into stunning, wearable art — especially custom engagement rings that reflect your personal style and family heritage.


Why Custom Engagement Rings from Heirlooms Matter

Designing custom engagement rings in Santa Rosa using family estate jewelry is a sentimental and sustainable alternative to buying something off-the-shelf. Each custom ring becomes a modern heirloom with roots in your family’s story.

We regularly work with clients who want to repurpose:

A grandmother’s diamond ring

A father’s wedding band

A collection of inherited stones

Broken or unworn jewelry with emotional significance

To see examples of our current collection, visit our Engagement Rings Santa Rosa collection page, where you’ll find both vintage and custom creations.
