What is jewellery remodelling?

Jewellery remodelling is the art of taking existing pieces and reshaping them into something new. It’s about preserving the sentimental value of jewellery while updating its appearance to suit current tastes and trends. By doing so, not only do you retain the emotional connection, but you also give the piece a new lease of life.

For many, jewellery holds a deep sentimental value. Whether it's a family heirloom or a gift from a special someone, the emotional connection can be strong. However, design preferences change over time. So, instead of locking away these pieces, jewellery remodelling offers an attractive solution.

Why remodel your old jewellery?

Creating a bespoke piece of jewellery that’s unique to you is a wonderful way to bring a new life to any old or inherited jewellery that you would never dream of parting with, but remains unworn.

The benefits of jewellery remodelling

Recycling the precious metals and gemstones is not only an ethical and cost-effective option, but a fun and creative process where you have the opportunity to create a piece of jewellery that’s as unique as you are. Our dedicated team works with your materials and ideas to create bespoke and unusual designs from your precious memories.

Personalisation

You have the freedom to infuse your personal style into an existing piece, ensuring it’s in line with your current tastes.

Cost-effective

Rather than buying a brand-new item, remodelling can be more economical, making use of materials you already possess.

Sustainability

In a world increasingly conscious of sustainability, remodelling reduces the need for new resources and minimises waste.

The timeline varies based on design complexity and the specific changes required. On average, it can range from a several weeks to a month.

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.

It's vital to choose a reputable jeweller for remodelling. We ensure utmost care, security, and respect for every piece entrusted to us.
