Jewellery Remodelling

Jewellery Remodelling

Jewellery re-modelling is carried out for a variety of reasons.

You may have accumulated or inherited a collection of jewellery which, whilst it has sentimental value, never gets worn because it is unfashionable, or just not to your taste.  Such items can be broken up and the  the constituent parts used to create new jewellery that you will enjoy wearing, whilst retaining the sentimental value attached to original piece.

Tastes change over the years and the jewellery you wore when you were younger may  no longer reflect your taste today.  Many people with yellow gold jewellery now prefer white metals such as platinum and palladium, which are much more fashionable. We can take the stones from your old gold pieces and set them into  more contemporary jewellery in white metal. The unwanted yellow gold can be taken at scrap value against the cost of doing the work.

Many older people have jewellery they never wear because they no longer attend the sorts of occasions where ostenatious jewellery would be appopriate.  We are often asked to break large piece of jewellery into a few smaller and more wearable items. Sometimes this is done so that jewellery can be passed on to younger generations. - A three-stone diamond ring might be turned into three single-stone rings for daughters or granddaughters.

Over the years most people all seem to accumulate some useless bits of gold. These might include rings that no longer fit, broken chains that are beyond repair, spare links from a shortened bracelet,  odd earings and cufflinks, etc..    It is not uncommon for a  box of useless bits and pieces that has been sitting in a drawer for years to contain sufficient material to produce several pieces of jewellery.

If you have  unwanted jewellery or scrap gold, why not show us?  One of our goldsmiths would be pleased to discuss ideas for remodelling them into beautiful new jewellery.
