Your Inherited Pieces Deserve More Than a Drawer
Many families hold onto inherited diamonds and vintage pieces for years, unsure what to do with them. The style may feel dated. The setting may be worn. But the stones, the gold, and the memory attached to them are irreplaceable. Holly Hawks Curations specializes in heirloom jewelry transformation, taking the raw materials of your family's history and reshaping them into a modern, wearable work of art. Marie brings the same careful attention to each piece that she applied during her nearly 26-year career in law enforcement: methodical, protective, and deeply committed to getting it right. Whether you have an old wedding ring, an inherited diamond necklace, or a collection of loose stones, this process begins with understanding what those pieces mean to you.
The Redesign Process
A Three-Step Jewelry Redesign Consultation
The process at Holly Hawks Curations follows a clear, collaborative path. First, you define your vision: what the original piece means to you, what style speaks to who you are today, and what you want the finished piece to communicate. Second, you collaborate directly with Marie, whose intuitive approach to design functions more like artistic counseling than a standard retail transaction. She listens, advises, and works through the possibilities with you. Third, the piece is crafted with expert precision, using 14K or 18K yellow or rose gold, platinum where appropriate, and the stones you already own or select through our curated sourcing. Every Holly Hawks exclusive piece is made in America, and your redesigned heirloom is no exception. This is not a plug-and-play service. It is a deeply personal jewelry redesign consultation built around your family's story.
Why Holly Hawks Curations
An Award-Winning Designer Who Treats Your Legacy with Care
Marie Fellhauer is an award-winning jewelry designer and the elected official in her local community. Her background is not typical for a fine jewelry designer, and that is precisely the point. A nearly 26-year career in law enforcement built a professional foundation of integrity, precision, and an unwavering sense of duty to the people she serves. Those same qualities now define how she approaches every vintage jewelry restoration and bespoke redesign project. She is not a salesperson. She is a curator and a guardian of the stories her clients bring to her. For clients across Middle Tennessee, including Nashville, Brentwood, Belle Meade, Green Hills, College Grove, and across the globe, Holly Hawks Curations offers a level of personal investment that mass-market retailers simply cannot match. Pieces are photographed using professional Gem Light Box technology so you can see the quality of your stones and finished design with complete clarity, even when working with Marie remotely.
Materials and Craftsmanship
Fine Metals, Natural Stones, and American-Made Quality
Holly Hawks Curations works with 14K and 18K yellow and rose gold, as well as platinum for settings that call for it. Stones sourced for redesign projects include natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, turquoise, garnets, and yellow sapphires, selected through trusted supply partners to ensure quality and authenticity. If your heirloom piece includes stones you want to keep, Marie will work with what you have. If you want to add to or replace a stone, she will guide you through the selection process with the same care she applies to every other aspect of the design. All exclusive Holly Hawks pieces are proudly made in America, reflecting a commitment to domestic craftsmanship and the values this brand was built on.

Marie will assess the materials you have during the consultation process and advise on what is possible based on the metals, stones, and overall condition of the original piece.Do I need to know what I want the finished piece to look like before starting?
Not at all. The consultation process at Holly Hawks Curations is specifically designed to help you define your vision before any design decisions are made. Marie's approach is collaborative and intuitive, closer to artistic counseling than a standard retail appointment. She will ask about the story behind your piece, your personal style, and how you intend to wear the finished design. From there, the creative direction develops naturally through direct conversation with her.What metals and stones are used in redesigned pieces?
Holly Hawks Curations works with 14K and 18K yellow and rose gold, as well as platinum for specific settings.

Are redesigned heirloom pieces made in America?
Yes. All exclusive Holly Hawks Curations pieces, including redesigned heirlooms, are made in America.

The made-in-America standard applies to the finished piece, not just the materials, ensuring that the quality and integrity of the work meets the standard expected by Holly Hawks clientele.How do I see the quality of my piece if I am working with Marie remotely?
Holly Hawks Curations uses professional Gem Light Box technology to photograph stones and finished designs. This produces high-resolution, color-accurate imagery that gives remote clients a clear and honest view of their piece at every stage of the process.

For routine home care, Holly Hawks Curations recommends using a soft toothbrush with face wash and hot water to gently clean your piece.
