Jewellery remodelling offers an opportunity to seamlessly blend the old with the new
Jewellery remodelling allows you to preserve cherished memories while embracing contemporary design. It’s the art of taking old, unworn pieces and transforming them through unsetting, melting, and re-crafting into something new. This process preserves the sentimental value of your jewellery while updating its appearance to suit a fresh design. By doing so, you not only retain the emotional connection but also give the piece a new lease of life—whether it’s a family heirloom, a gift from a special someone, or a combination of two pieces into one meaningful reminder. Instead of locking away these treasures, jewellery remodelling offers a beautiful solution. Now, let's explore how the jewellery remodelling process works.
Our Founder and Creative Director, Rebecca Smith, or another designer will review your jewellery with you and discuss the new piece you'd like to create.
We’ll discuss the jewellery's significance and assess the quality of its components, talking you through what we can use towards your new piece.
Choose a design by Pruden and Smith that you love, and we can either recreate it or adapt it using your existing jewellery.
Your jewellery will be meticulously handcrafted by our skilled team at our Ditchling workshop.
Any unused materials will be returned to you. Metals without sentimental ties can be scrapped, offsetting your cost.
Your new piece of jewellery will receive the final touches before being boxed up, ready for collection or shipping.

Jewellery remodelling FAQs
Can all types of jewellery be remodelled?
Most jewellery can be remodelled, from rings and necklaces to bracelets and earrings. However, the feasibility often depends on the original material's condition and design.
How long does the remodelling process take?
The timeline varies based on design complexity and the specific changes required. On average, it can range from a several weeks to a month.
Is remodelling jewellery cost-effective?
Yes, in part, as remodelling can be more economical than purchasing a new piece, especially when reusing precious metals and gemstones you already possess, however, what you need to bare in mind is the costs of the specialist goldsmith that will recreate you jewellery.
Can I combine multiple old pieces into one new design?
Absolutely! Many clients merge several items, like combining gemstones from different pieces into a single new design.
What if I'm unsure about the new design?
Our CAD (Computer-Aided Design) phase allows you to visualise the final piece before it's made, ensuring you’re happy with the proposed design.
Is it safe to hand over my precious jewellery for remodelling?
It's vital to choose a reputable jeweller for remodelling. We ensure utmost care, security, and respect for every piece entrusted to us.
What happens to unused materials after remodelling?
Any materials not incorporated into the new design are returned to you. Precious metals with no sentimental ties can be scrapped, potentially reducing the remodelling costs.
