If Grandma’s topaz brooch isn’t to your taste, why not have it reworked into a dazzler you’ll wear?

Tamara Kronis and Kathryn Dieroff of Studio 1098 are pros at restyling and repairing baubles. They also design their own line of fresh, contemporary jewellery (from $85-$5,000).

Pick from statement pieces like a Brazilian amethyst cocktail ring or simple diamond-studded rolling bands in platinum or rose gold.

And as for the topaz—coloured gems are a girl’s new best friend.
