The Art of Making Jewelry
Finished by hand, engineered with precision. Two paths to a piece that is yours alone: a new commission built around gemstones we source for you, or a beloved heirloom restyled into something new.

Made by One, for One
Every Pieter Andries commission is finished by our artisans who mount and set every gemstone themselves. Their expert discipline is paired with modern engineering, so every design is proven to stand the test of time before it is cast. Each creation is built around a gemstone, a story, or an heirloom worth carrying forward. Six decades of experience sit behind every piece that leaves the atelier.
New Commissions
This is where your next story begins. A piece designed with you in mind, around a gemstone we source for you. The gemstone leads, the design follows, and every stage of the design process is implemented inside our Southlake atelier — the only way a piece becomes one of a kind.
Heirloom Restyling
A beautiful gemstone can withstand the test of time, but the fashions they were set in may fade. Whether you have a piece inherited from a family member or want to refresh your favorite piece you’ve worn for decades, we can gladly re-set your gemstone into a design that reflects you, your story and how you want to be remembered. The gemstones carry the history. The new design lets you carry it forward.
Gemstones That Tell the Story
At Pieter Andries, a ring is never designed before we have a gemstone to fill it. The gemstone leads; the design follows.
Every commission begins with a gemstone we source for you — earth-mined, individually selected, and evaluated in our own laboratory. From that foundation we design a piece that could exist no other way.
One design. One owner. One of one.
Beautiful Gemstones, Exquisite Art
Gemstone Sourcing & Selection
Every commission begins with a gemstone, sourced to our earth-mined standard and chosen for its beauty and rarity before it is presented to you.
Design & Engineering
We listen first. Our designers will ask about who will wear the piece – you or someone else – what you want to preserve, and what you hope to change. Then, our designers propose a direction, adapting it to your unique preferences until the new design is perfectly made for your needs.
In-House Craftsmanship
Gemstones are carefully removed in the atelier and evaluated to the Pieter Andries standards. Then, they’ll be set into newly fabricated metal, in a design made entirely for them. Casting, setting, and finishing are all performed on-site by the same craftsmen who build new commissions.
Final Inspection
Your one-of-a-kind commission is inspected against our Pieter Andries standard before it is delivered. It’s our word that it was made as promised.
Your Family Heirlooms, Reimagined
Bring a piece of history into the modern era when you transform a family heirloom into something new. Create a piece that’s part of your future, in memory of those who wore it before you. The design around your family gemstones can be beautifully transformed into a work of art that preserves your family history while carrying your story forward and into the future.
We invite you to speak with our designers about the piece’s history and your vision. Then, they’ll propose a design that is reflective of the new wearer’s preferences and style.
From Inherited to Yours
Bring the Piece In
Bring your heirloom to our Southlake showroom for a private consultation. We will carefully examine the gemstones and document the state of the piece and your ideas before we recommend anything. That’s part of the Pieter Andries difference - we know sentimental detail matters as much as gemology.
Design Conversation
We listen first. What you want the piece to feel like, where you will wear it, what about the original you want to keep and what you are ready to retire. Our designers propose a direction, and the conversation continues until the new design is right.
In-House Restyle
Gemstones are carefully removed in our atelier. Then, they’ll be set into newly fabricated metal, in a design made entirely for them. Casting, setting, and finishing are all performed on-site by the same artisans who build new commissions.
Delivery
The restyled piece is inspected against the same Pieter Andries standard as new commissions before it is delivered back to you.
Begin a Private Conversation
Whether you are commissioning a new piece around one of our selectively sourced gemstones or bringing an heirloom into the design room to be restyled, every commission begins with a conversation. Tell us what you are looking for — a gemstone, an occasion, a feeling, a piece you want to bring back to life — and we take it from there.
