Transforming Sentimental Pieces

Transforming Sentimental Pieces

So many of us have pieces of jewellery that have lay in a drawer of jewellery box for years unworn because it is no longer fashionable or doesn't suit our style or wardrobe.

These are often items which we nevertheless keep as they have sentimental value, perhaps because they were given to us by a loved one, or remind us of a specific occasion or time in our lives.

Theses pre-loved gems can be transformed into a new piece of jewellery in a contemporary design which reflects your taste and personality, providing you with a fresh design which you will wear for years to come.

Jewellery Remodelling

Why Remodel Your Jewellery?

Many people will choose to sell their unwanted jewellery rather than have it remodelled, and this can often prove a wise move if there is something other than jewellery that you would like to purchase with the money.

However, too often people will sell on a family heirloom and use the proceeds to purchase another piece of jewellery with which to remember the original owner. Selling the original jewellery to a second hand jeweller will only secure it' scrap value and any items purchased with the proceeds will therefore always be inferior in quality and value.

While remodelling has an upfront cost, the result is a piece of jewellery consisting of the same quality of metal and gemstones rendered into a wearable and desirable keepsake.

What is The Remodelling Process?

Contact me to arrange a meeting where we can talk about the different remodelling options for your jewellery. It can also be helpful to email me a photograph of the jewellery in advance.

Have a look at my onine gallery for ideas on what you would like me to create. (Please note that I will not copy designs created by other designers or jewellers)

During our meeting we can identify a budget and a timescale for the design as well as ascertaining any measurements that are required.

I will then design and create your desired items using your existing jewellery and adding any metals or gemstones that you have requested.

Multiple Remodelling

Occasionally you may want several items made using an unwanted piece of jewellery, either as a matching set or for separate items for more than one individual.

You can have the piece of jewellery de-constructed and the individual gemstones used in the creation of more than one item. Get in touch for more details, or email me a photograph of your jewellery if you would like initial advice prior to our meeting.
