It wouldn’t be Cannes without Chopard, the fest’s decades-long partner, designer of the prestigious Palme d’Or prize, and jeweler to the most glamorous celebrities—such as actress Halle Berry, one of this year’s jurors. Berry, who seems to be ­aging backward, stunned in a ruched ­jersey Jacquemus gown and a ­Chopard snake necklace that would make Cleopatra do a double take.

These diamonds went into a new Marrow Fine– designed ring set (far l.).

—Jillian Sassone, Marrow Fine

HEN INDUSTRY PROGNOSTICATOR Martin ­Rapaport proclaimed, at the 2024 JCK show in Las Vegas, that the next big opportunity in jewelry would center on aging Americans looking to pass down their jewels, he touched on a phenomenon that many designers and retailers have already experienced: ­consumers eschewing purchases of new jewelry in favor of repurposing pieces they already own.

“We’ve definitely seen a noticeable uptick in interest over the past two years,” says Jillian Sassone, founder of Marrow Fine, a retailer in Southern California that specializes in heirloom redesigns.

The trend, according to many jewelers, gained traction during the pandemic, when people

—Joy Haugaard, Lionheart

found time to go through their closets and discover jewels that had sentimental value but didn’t reflect their aesthetic sensibilities.

In some cases, clients are ­embracing heirloom jewelry in order to “honor their history,” says Joy Haugaard, cofounder and creative director of fine jewelry brand Lionheart, based in New York City.

Among millennials and Gen Zers, the decision to repurpose a piece of jewelry often reflects a desire to update a family heirloom to make it their own. Yet another motivation, says Dennis Claspell, vice president of sales and marketing at the jewelry supply powerhouse Rio Grande, is supporting the circular economy. Many “younger consumers view redesigning as responsible luxury,” he says.

New York City–based jeweler Tanya Farah has noticed a similar eco-awareness among her clients. “People are more conscious now about where their materials come from,” she says.

“Redesigning heirlooms is a way to create something new without mining fresh resources.”

Amid the uncertain economic climate of 2025, another factor is incentivizing clients to go shopping in their closets. They’re “trying to offset costs by recycling precious metals into new items,” says Chris Ploof, founder of Chris Ploof Designs, in Leominster, Mass.

In light of the skyrocketing gold price, this makes perfect sense. Jewelers typically melt and

Inspired by a family heirloom redesign, Lionheart’s Serenity collection includes amulets, earrings, rings, and bracelets.

reuse the existing gold and, in the case of rings, they can often reset natural diamonds and certain gemstones, making the new designs more affordable, Sassone says.

But for retailers, the heirloom redesign process is not without its challenges. First and foremost, says Farah, is “preserving the soul of the original piece while breathing new life into it.” Sassone contends that “the tricky part is guiding people through what’s possible with their piece.”

To make the most of the redesign ­opportunity, Claspell says it’s important to have training and tools in place to educate clients on the options.

After all, in an age of fast fashion and fleeting trends, repurposed heirlooms serve as a potent reminder that few things are more enduring, or reusable, than precious jewelry.

Model Naomi Sims is radiant in this beautifully bejeweled photo

by Chris von Wangenheim

TWO MONTHS AFTER Naomi Sims made history as the first Black model to cover Ladies’ Home Journal, this photo appeared in Harper’s Bazaar…and didn’t even mention her name. The magazine did, however, ID the David Webb jewelry: ­“heavily textured gold pieces from the late 1960s, with a bracelet cuff in her hair, and a few layered ‘nugget’ necklaces around her neck,” says Levi Higgs, head of archives and brand heritage for David Webb. The image ran with a beauty feature on achieving ­luminous skin; we think the pieces gave Sims a perfect golden glow. —MELISSA ROSE BERNARDO JCKONLINE.COM
