REDESIGN YOUR OLD JEWELLERY
JEWELLERY REMODELLING
New jewellery made using your own materials
Have you accumulated or inherited a collection of jewellery that you never wear?
We can upcycle those unloved items into brand new bespoke jewellery!
Show us what you have, tell us what you would like to achieve, and we will be happy to discuss some possibilities with you.
Heirloom redesigns
Do you have jewellery that has great sentimental value to you, but that you don't wear?
If you have inherited something that is worn-out, too fragile, old-fashioned, or just not your style, we can take it apart and use some or all of the materials to create a new piece that suits your taste, but retains the sentimental value of the original item.
This pendant and ring were made using diamonds taken from an inherited Victorian bangle that had not been worn for generations.
Give your jewellery a new look
Over the years, tastes can change.
If you have jewellery that no longer gives you the pleasure it once did, we can take it apart and use the materials to create something that you'll love to wear again.
Outdated pieces can be given a new lease of life.
This striking platinum ring features diamonds taken from the customer's unwanted jewellery.
Recycle those unloved pieces
These days we all try to recycle as much as possible, so it makes sense to recycle your unwanted jewellery too.
In any case, it's such a shame to leave valuable precious metals and gemstones sitting, forgotten, in a drawer!
Our expert goldsmiths can give your unworn items a new lease of life, by transforming them into a beautiful piece of jewellery that you will enjoy wearing.
How does jewellery remodelling work?
Every remodelling project is different.
It all depends on what you have now, and what you would like to be turned into.
We might take apart a large item to make several smaller pieces, or perhaps, combine lots of small items to create one larger one.
If you supply all of the materials needed you'll only pay for our work in creating your new piece.
However, we can supply extra metal or stones, if required.
This "trefoil" ring uses the diamonds from the customer's traditional trilogy engagement ring. We exchanged the old white gold mount for yellow gold, and set the diamonds in platinum.
Recycle your gold or platinum
The first step is to unset any stones in your unwanted pieces. You might want to use just the metal, just the stones, or everything.
If we are using the metal, we'll melt it down and pour to form an ingot that we can use to start making your new piece.
You might prefer a different type of metal. (For example, you have 9ct gold, but you want your new piece to be platinum.) We would weigh up your gold, work out its value, and then credit you with that sum to purchase the platinum.
Once we have made your piece, if there is excess metal remaining, we could take it from you at scrap value, to offset our labour cost, or if you prefer, we'll return it to you, to use in a future project.
Diamond jewellery redesigned
A lot of the remodelling projects that we undertake feature diamonds.
We often incorporate diamonds from several small pieces in one larger piece.
This striking pendant was made with diamonds from a collection of small and old-fashioned rings belonging to the customer.
For a bit of inspiration, here are some examples of pieces we have made using customers' own materials.
Why choose us to remodel your jewellery?
As specialist bespoke jewellers, we work with individual clients to create unique jewellery to their specifications.
Jewellery remodelling is actually a big part of what we do.
The only difference to any other custom jewellery commission is that the customer supplies some or all of the materials.
People often bring in bags of little bits-and-pieces of gold jewellery. We unset any stones, melt down the metal, and upcycle the materials to create a beautiful new piece of jewellery!
The ring shown here contains the diamond from the customer's solitaire with the stones from her old eternity ring in the band.
