When it comes to custom-made jewelry we have worked hard to develop a reputation for unique, modern and classic one-of-a-kind jewelry. If you are thinking about a redesigned ring or custom job to be completed by the Holidays, we strongly encourage you to stop in soon. The closer it gets to the middle of December we may not be able to guarantee your piece will be finished by Christmas. We will however work as hard as we can to meet deadlines by desired dates.

Redesigns and Upgrades
Have you ever thought about upgrading or redesigning your wedding ring? Believe it or not, that’s a majority of what we do at White Cedar Studio. There are all sorts of reasons our clients choose to redesign their wedding rings and we want to share with you the top 3 reasons and tell you how we can help in the process.
- The design of the ring is outdated: With ring styles changing every year it’s hard to blame anyone for falling out of love with their ring. A majority of the outdated rings we see are set in yellow gold. We can remake it in white gold! It’s the most popular and the new traditional metal color for wedding rings. What was in style 10-30 years ago may not fit your current lifestyle or maybe the ring you were given at age 25 was something you would have never picked out for yourself.
How we can help: Stop in or make an appointment with us. We will sit down with you, get to know you and we will help evolve your ideas into preliminary sketches and start developing the perfect ring together. We can use your existing stones and in most cases reuse your gold, preserving the sentimental materials from your original wedding set.
- Time to Upgrade: It is very common when couples come to us with their diamond rings and say, “this was all we could afford in the beginning”. Or sometimes social status has grown throughout a marriage and a larger diamond fits into their lifestyle. We even hear simply “bigger is better”.
How we can help: Stop in or make an appointment. We can show you a variety of diamonds to fit your budget and size requirements. We make sure that your diamond is selected for it’s brilliance, fire, and sparkle. We will work with you every step of the way providing trust, integrity, education, excitement, and peace of mind. In some cases we can even help you get the most money for your diamond trade in!
- Marking new Milestones: Couples also choose to redesign or upgrade their rings to mark a new milestone in their lives together. Anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas and other holidays are the most common special occasions to be gifted with a larger diamond or a redesigned wedding ring.
How we can help: Purchase the diamond with us and we will set it in a solitaire. Surprise her with a proposal and that magical moment. Bring her back to the studio and we will design the ring of her dreams together.
