Your jewelry tells a story. But what if that story feels stuck in the past? At Vinca, we believe heirlooms don’t belong in drawers—they belong in your everyday magic. Heirloom redesign is about honoring the love, history, and memories behind your old pieces—while transforming them into bold, wearable art that feels like you. Whether it's grandma’s brooch, a broken ring, or a lone earring that’s lost its pair, we’ll help you reimagine it with our signature flair—think quirky acrylic, bold gold plating, or a mashup of vintage charm and modern sass. Because your style evolves. Your story can too.
From concept to creation, work with our world-class jewelers to bring your vision to life.
From Unworn to Unforgettable
What Is Heirloom Jewelry Redesign?
Do you possess cherished jewelry that sits unworn, yet holds too much sentimental value to part with? We offer a unique service to transform these forgotten treasures into contemporary, custom-designed pieces, meticulously handcrafted by us. Imagine your broken rings reimagined as striking acrylic necklaces, or loose gemstones given new life in modern, stackable rings. We specialize in revitalizing antique pieces, infusing them with a fresh, contemporary appeal and a distinctive Vinca charm.

This was my grandma’s pendant—I never wore it, but now I rock it as a geometric ring thanks to Vinca!

My broken chain became a bold, chunky bracelet. People ask me about it all the time.
Aarav, Austin
I had a single sapphire earring from my mom—just one. Vinca turned it into the center of a statement necklace that’s so me. She would’ve loved it.

That’s where the magic starts. Bring us your memory, your dream, your Pinterest board—we’ll help you turn it into a wearable story. No heirloom needed.
