Why Reproduce Jewelry?

Sometimes buying a new piece isn't the answer. When jewelry carries memories, stories, or sentimental connections, you don't want "similar"—you want that exact piece. Here's when reproduction makes perfect sense:

Common Reasons for Jewelry Reproduction

• Lost or stolen pieces – Your engagement ring went missing or was stolen
• Inherited damage – Grandma's ring is too fragile to wear but you want to use it daily
• Travel safety – Create a duplicate to wear on vacation while keeping the original safe
• Everyday wear – You love a piece but it's too valuable to risk wearing regularly
• Missing partner pieces – Lost one earring but love the design
• Insurance replacement – Need an exact replica for insurance purposes
• Sentimental recreation – Want to recreate a piece from old family photos

💡 Good to know: Even if you only have a blurry photo or a vague memory, we can work with it. Our process involves asking detailed questions, showing you sketches, and making sure we get it right before creating the final piece.

The Reproduction Process: How It Works

Step 1: Share Your Story & Photos

Contact us with any photos, descriptions, or memories of the piece. Don't worry if your photos aren't perfect—we'll make it work. We'll also ask questions like: What metal was it? Approximate size? Any gemstones? Special details you remember?

Step 2: Consultation & Design Review

We'll meet (in person or virtually) to discuss the piece in detail. Based on your photos and input, we'll create sketches or CAD (computer-aided design) renderings so you can see what we're planning to make.

At this stage, you can:

• Request an exact replica
• Ask for slight modifications (bigger stone, different metal, etc.)
• Combine elements from multiple pieces
• Update the design for modern durability

Step 3: Transparent Quote

Once the design is finalized, we'll provide a detailed quote including materials, labor, and timeline. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Pricing Factors:

• Metal type: Sterling silver, gold (10K/14K/18K), platinum
• Gemstones: Type, quality, size (natural, lab-grown, or simulant options available)
• Complexity: Intricate details, engravings, stone-setting work
• Timeline: Standard or rush service

Step 4: Crafting Your Piece

Our Toronto-based goldsmiths handcraft your reproduction using traditional techniques combined with modern precision. Depending on complexity, this takes 2-4 weeks for most pieces.

Step 5: Preview & Final Approval

Before final finishing, we may send you progress photos (if you'd like) to ensure everything looks right. Your satisfaction matters more than speed.

Step 6: Delivery & Delight

Your completed piece is professionally cleaned, polished, and beautifully packaged. You'll receive care instructions and documentation of materials used.

✅ Quality Promise: If the final piece doesn't match your expectations, we'll make it right. Your happiness is what matters—this is too important to get wrong.

Exact Replica vs. Modern Interpretation

When reproducing jewelry, you have options:

Option 1: Exact Replica

✅ Matches the original in every detail
✅ Same metal type, stone sizes, design elements
✅ Includes any "flaws" or quirks that made it unique
✅ Perfect for insurance replacements or sentimental accuracy

Option 2: Improved Version

✨ Keep the overall design but upgrade materials
✨ Make structural improvements for daily wear
✨ Adjust sizing or proportions
✨ Replace fragile elements with more durable alternatives
✨ Perfect when you love the look but want better functionality

Option 3: Inspired Reinterpretation

🎨 Use the original as inspiration but create something new
🎨 Modernize vintage designs for contemporary style
🎨 Combine elements from multiple family pieces
🎨 Perfect when you want to honor the past while creating something uniquely yours

You decide! Some clients want pixel-perfect replicas. Others say, "I loved the style, but can we make it sturdier?" Both approaches are equally valid, and we'll guide you through the decision.

What You'll Need to Get Started

Photos (If Available)

• Close-up shots from multiple angles (ideal)
• Photos where the piece is visible in the background (we can work with these!)
• Old family photos showing the jewelry
• Even hand-drawn sketches if you don't have photos

Details to Remember

• What metal was it? (Yellow gold, white gold, silver, platinum?)
• Approximate size/dimensions
• Any stones? (Type, size, color)
• Special features? (Engravings, textures, unique details)
• How did it feel to wear? (Weight, comfort, etc.)

Your Vision

• Do you want an exact copy or improvements?
• Is this for daily wear or special occasions?
• What's your budget range?
• Any timeline needs?

Don't have much information? That's okay! We've successfully recreated pieces from descriptions like "It was gold, kind of chunky, with a blue stone." The consultation process helps us fill in the blanks together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you really recreate jewelry from just a photo?

Yes! We do it all the time. Photos give us the design, proportions, and style. During consultation, we ask questions to nail down details the photo doesn't show (like exact metal type or stone quality). We've recreated pieces from grainy 1960s wedding photos—you'd be amazed what's possible.

How close will the reproduction be to the original?

That depends on what you want. For exact replicas, we aim for 95-100% accuracy based on available information. If some details are unknown (like the exact carat weight of a lost diamond), we use period-appropriate standards and your budget to guide us. You approve everything before we make it.

Can you use my original stones or gold?

Absolutely! If you have the stones from a damaged piece or want to incorporate gold from another item, we can do that. This often reduces cost and adds sentimental continuity.

What if I lost one earring—can you make just one?

Yes! Single earring replacement is one of our most common reproduction requests. Bring us the surviving earring, and we'll create an identical match.

How long does reproduction take?

Most pieces take 2-6 weeks depending on complexity and material sourcing. Simple pieces (like matching a single earring) might be done in 2 weeks. Complex engagement rings or heirloom recreations can take 4-6 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline during consultation.

What if I don't want an exact copy—can you improve it?

Of course! Many clients say things like, "I loved it, but the prongs were always catching on clothes—can we fix that?" or "Same design, but can we use a lab diamond instead?" We welcome modifications that make the piece better for your needs.

Is reproduction expensive?

It's more affordable than many people expect. Simple reproductions start around $150-$200. More elaborate pieces with gemstones start around $800-$1,000. We work with various budgets and can suggest cost-saving options (like lab-grown stones or 10K gold instead of 18K).

Success Stories

"My engagement ring was stolen during a break-in. I was devastated—not because of the value, but because my late husband had designed it himself. I found one blurry photo from our wedding day. KIA Jewelry spent hours with me going over every detail I could remember. The result is so close to the original that I cried when I saw it. It's like having a piece of him back."
— Patricia R., Toronto

"I lost one earring from my favorite pair while traveling. They were discontinued, so I couldn't replace them. KIA matched the surviving earring perfectly—you literally can't tell which is original and which is the reproduction. Incredible work!"
— Maya T., North York

"My grandmother's brooch from the 1940s was in a family photo but had been lost decades ago. The team at KIA recreated it from that old black-and-white picture. Now I can wear a piece of my family history that I thought was gone forever."
— Aisha M., Scarborough
