I often see clients heartbroken over lost stones that could have been saved with a minute of care. Before you wear your favourite ring or pendant, take a second to check the prongs. If your solitaire moves when you tap it with your nail, or if it catches on silk, it is time to bring it in for a professional check. These small habits protect your investment and ensure your family heirlooms stay with you. Great jewellery is more than gold and gemstones; it is a collaboration between your vision and our technical capability. At our Cuffe Parade studio, we follow a rigorous process to ensure every piece is durable, comfortable, and uniquely yours. ### The Design Journey We begin with a conversation. Before a single sketch is drawn, we discuss your lifestyle and the story you want the piece to tell. We then translate these ideas into hand-drawn sketches, followed by 3D CAD rendering. This allows you to see the ring or necklace from every angle, ensuring the proportions are perfect before we cast the metal. ### Material Integrity Quality is non-negotiable. Whether we are using yellow, rose, or white gold, or sourcing certified GIA/IGI diamonds and Colombian emeralds, every material is audited for purity. We believe in transparency—you should know exactly what goes into your jewellery. ### Reviving Heirlooms Many of our clients bring in vintage jewellery that feels dated. Our redesign service is about honouring the past while updating the form. We audit the gold purity, reset your existing stones into contemporary settings, and refine the metal to create a piece that fits your current aesthetic while keeping the emotional value intact. If you have an old set sitting in a locker, let’s discuss how to turn it into something you will wear every day. ## About Tikamdas Motiram I am Reema, and at TMJ, I view jewellery as a signature. I do not follow fleeting trends; I help you build a collection that feels like you. Whether we are redesigning your family heirlooms or sketching a brand new solitaire engagement ring, my goal is to create pieces that tell your story.
