Jackets & Transformers

Jewelry should evolve with the way you wear it. Our Serpentine Jackets and Transformers allow a single piece to become many — adding scale, color, texture, or an entirely different point of view without replacing the original design.

At Serpentine, we create transformative jewelry systems that expand the possibilities of a piece you already love. From engagement ring jackets that dramatically change the look of a solitaire to removable earring elements that shift from understated to statement-making, these projects are designed around versatility, longevity, and personal expression.

Jackets and Transformers are additional jewelry components designed to work seamlessly with an existing piece.

A ring jacket is a secondary setting that surrounds or enhances a ring, often adding diamonds, colored gemstones, width, or architectural detail. The original ring remains intact while gaining an entirely new presence when paired with the jacket.

Transformers are jewelry designs engineered to be worn multiple ways. Earrings may convert from studs into dramatic drops. Necklaces may separate into layers. Rings may shift from minimal to bold through removable additions.

These projects preserve the emotional significance of an original piece while expanding how it can be worn. Every project is designed around the proportions of both the original piece and the individual wearing it, ensuring the transformation feels seamless and intentional.

How the Process Works

Slide image

1. Consultation

We begin by reviewing your piece and understanding what you want the transformation to achieve.

2. Design Direction

Our team develops concepts engineered specifically around your jewelry, considering proportion, wearability, comfort, and mechanics.

3. Stone Sourcing & Development

If additional diamonds or gemstones are needed, we cut or source stones that complement the original piece.

4. Creation

Your Transformers handcrafted to fit precisely and integrate seamlessly with the original piece. Because these projects are engineered specifically around an existing design, we will often need the original piece in-house during development to ensure an exact fit and seamless functionality.

Your new Transformer is handcrafted to fit precisely and integrate seamlessly with the original piece. The best transformer jewelry feels effortless — as though the piece was always meant to exist in multiple forms.

Begin Your Project

Whether you want to elevate an engagement ring, rethink the way you wear an heirloom, or create a completely new multi-functional piece, we’ll guide you through the process personally.

Some clients arrive with a fully formed idea. Others simply know they want more versatility from a piece they already own. We can begin from either place.
