We’re located at 1322 East Washington St, Suite C1, Greenville, SC 29607. Clients visit us with rings, bracelets, brooches, and necklaces that hold stories—grandmother’s diamond, a father’s signet, a strand of pearls from a milestone anniversary. We listen, sketch, and engineer a plan to transition those treasures into contemporary, durable pieces you’ll reach for every day.
Every legacy jewelry design begins with a conversation. We ask how you wear jewelry, what colors speak to you, and which moments you want to honor. Then we present design directions—sometimes sleek and architectural, sometimes sculptural and color-forward.
From re-cutting a chipped sapphire to resetting a cluster of small diamonds into a statement ring, we work carefully with the materials you bring. If a gemstone is too fragile for a ring, we might shift it into a pendant. If a gold heirloom is overly thin, we’ll reinforce it or recycle the metal into a new, substantial form. Our all-female team treats your family treasure jewelry like a living archive—preserved, yet ready to be worn.
Bring your heirloom pieces to our Greenville, SC shop + studio. We’ll evaluate condition, discuss your goals, and outline creative directions. When it comes to legacy jewelry design, clarity at the start leads to a piece you’ll love for decades.
You’ll see sketches that translate sentiment into form. We refine the concept with your feedback until the silhouette, proportions, and details feel perfect.
We map your stones, note any risks, and advise on re-cutting, reinforcement, or sourcing complementary gems. If you’d like to melt and reuse your gold, we’ll engineer the metalwork so the new piece has strength and longevity.
Our bench team fabricates your design with precision. Settings are engineered to protect heirloom gems, surface textures are finished by hand, and closures are tested for daily wear. The result: legacy jewelry design that punches with presence and holds up beautifully.
You’ll try on the finished piece at our studio under natural light, feel the balance, and see how the design sits on your hand, wrist, or neckline. We’ll share care guidelines to keep your piece brilliant for years to come.
Since 1972, llyn strong has made fine art jewelry that’s anything but quiet. Founder llyn still designs; her daughter, Sydney Strong—a Graduate Gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America—leads the business and guides clients through gemstone selection and design decisions. Our shop + studio is built for collaborative, high-touch projects: custom fine art jewelry, heirloom redesign, and complex stone work that demands both creativity and technical control.
We thrive on scale and color. If you want a show-stopping statement (think architectural rings, luminous necklaces, or kinetic earrings), this is where you’ll find the confidence to go bigger, richer, and more intentional with your family treasure jewelry.
Establish value and documentation before we begin. This step informs design decisions, insurance, and appropriate settings for daily wear.
From polishing a gem to re-proportioning a vintage cut for better light return, we manage your stones with meticulous attention.
Heirloom pieces often arrive with fatigue; worn prongs, thin shanks, or loose hinges. We stabilize components or rebuild them, ensuring your new design has strength where it matters.
