Jewellery Remodelling and Redesign in Brisbane
A piece that’s already yours, made new.
Book consultationRedesign with A.G
Claws wear, settings become less secure and a design that once suited you may no longer feel right. The natural stones within it, however, can often become the starting point for something new.
An inherited diamond can be reset, several family pieces can be brought together, or an existing ring can be reworked around the details you want to keep.
At A.G Designer Jeweller, your jewellery is assessed, designed and made in our Queen Street workshop by the team you meet during your consultation. Your stones stay in our workshop throughout the process, unless specialist grading or repolishing is required.

What Happens to Your Stones and Metal
Stones
We work with natural diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds and other natural gemstones. We don’t accept lab grown stones.
Certificates
If your stone already has a certificate, we can work with the existing documentation. Uncertified stones can be sent for professional grading where required.
Precious metals
Our jewellers work with platinum and yellow, white and rose gold. Zirconium is also available for suitable designs.
Worn or damaged
Worn claws, shanks and settings can often be repaired or rebuilt into the new design. We’ll check your stones first and tell you if any are too fragile to reuse.

Completion
The finished piece is checked before final payment and handover.
Made in Our Brisbane Workshop
Your piece is remodelled onsite at our Brisbane workshop rather than being passed between separate design and production teams.
Co-owners Adam Graham and Paul Mellers have a combined forty years of experience in the fine jewellery and gemstone industry.
Start With What You Already Have
You don’t need to know exactly what you want your jewellery to become. Bring the piece, stones and any certificates you have, and our team can help you understand what is possible.
