We all have that one piece of jewelry—grandma’s ring, a broken chain, or a dated bracelet—that carries memories but no longer fits our style. Instead of letting it gather dust in a drawer, what if you could transform it into something fresh, meaningful, and completely your own?
That’s where custom jewelry remodelling comes in. With Mark Katzeff’s master craftsmanship in Edmonton, old heirlooms are reborn as new, stunning pieces that reflect your story, style, and sentiment.

Why Consider Custom Jewelry Remodelling?
It's Personal and Sentimental
There’s a reason you haven’t thrown away that chipped ring or tangled necklace—because it means something. Whether it belonged to a loved one or marked a special chapter in your life, remodelling gives it a second chance.
Example: A client once brought in a brooch that belonged to her mother. It didn’t suit her wardrobe, but the sapphire center was beautiful. Mark transformed it into a minimalist pendant—keeping the stone, updating the setting.
It’s Eco-Conscious and Budget-Friendly
Repurposing metals and stones reduces mining impact and waste. It also saves you the cost of new materials, especially if the gold or gems can be reused.
A Chance to Make It Your Own
You may love the story behind your jewelry—but not the style. With custom remodelling, you’re not just updating an accessory. You’re designing a new piece that reflects you.
What Jewelry Can Be Remodeled?
Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands
Inherited rings can be resized, reset, or fully redesigned. Old bands can be combined with new metals for an updated look.
Necklaces and Pendants
Turn a heavy chain into something lighter or transform a dated pendant into a bracelet charm.
Earrings and Studs
Lost one side of a favorite earring? That lone diamond can become a necklace or part of a custom ring design.
Bracelets
Broken clasps or outdated designs can be upgraded into contemporary cuffs or bangles.
