We created SPUR for the love of jewelry, family, and meaningful connections between generations.


Working in the world of fine jewelry, we were often being asked to work with our client’s inherited stones.

Over the past seven years, we have dedicated ourselves to working with heirlooms and giving them new life.

We've assembled an incredible team of jewelers and designers with a deep material understanding of heirlooms, vintage and antique jewelry.

We've been featured for our work in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker and Vogue. Spur is now known as the destination for the finest heirloom renovations and works with clients in the NY area as well as around the country.

Jewelry Renovation FAQs

What does it cost to renovate jewelry?

We price each custom project individually and present complete pricing with our proposals. Costs vary depending on the type of piece, labor, complexity, and materials involved in your project.


Many of our projects are in the $2000-$7000 range. We have beautiful design concepts under $2000 if you are open to suggestions. We can apply the value of any extra gold or platinum from your original materials towards the cost of your project.

Can I use my own gold to create new jewelry?

Yes! It depends a bit on the design you select, but we can typically melt and alloy your gold to use in your project. We reserve this very specialized offering for projects where the gold itself is extremely sentimental.

Alternatively, our typical process is to group recycle your gold with gold from our other clients and offer you a credit towards your invoice.

What does “custom” really mean?

We specialize in creating custom jewelry from unique, heirloom, inherited, and sentimental materials. Every piece is designed around your specific materials.

Working this way allows us to creatively approach each project to produce a higher quality of jewelry. It also allows us to fit each piece perfectly to your body.

While we offer designs at a variety of price points, please note that custom jewelry is typically more costly than jewelry that is created in mass production.

What are the best materials to work with?

Fine jewelry materials such as diamonds, 14kt and 18kt gold, as well as sentimental coins and other gemstones are some of our favorite materials to work with.

Can I schedule an in-person consultation at your NYC studio?

We like to start with a preliminary consultation phone call to understand what you're looking for and make sure we're the right fit for the project. We've found our phone appointments to be a very focused and effective format.

Once we have a bit of clarity and direction, you're welcome to visit in-person at our Flatiron NYC studio for any followup questions, and to drop off your materials with us. We're always happy to arrange that!
