Redesigning Old Jewellery of Sentimental Value is a magicians art. Take a look at the picture of a jumble of chains, bangles and rings below. It probably looks similar to an area in a drawer in the attic or a bag in your jewellery box that contains past treasures and precious memories. The mixture of metals will range from rich yellow to rose and white of differing carats. The three colour gold nugget bracelet was made for just such a tangle! The cost of making it was entirely paid for with the unwanted gold sovereigns. This mix of metal will also melt and mill nicely into a set of gold bangles.
Redesigning Old Diamond Jewellery of Sentimental Value can produce some gorgeous contemporary pieces of jewellery. The old mine cut and European cut diamond features in so much jewellery from the last century. They are packed into settings that aim to make them look as round as possible. They were cut before modern faceting methods were available and their true shape has a rocky uneven nature and are transformed in the carved rings and earrings below that take advantage of showing this off to the full.
Solitaire engagement rings can gift us with a beautiful gem but you may not want it to look like an engagement ring anymore. Incorporating it into a dress ring or simple pendant can ensure that you enjoy wearing again.
Old eternity rings can supply lots of small diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. Here are just some of our redesign solutions to turn them into fabulous contemporary jewellery pieces. Sometimes these pieces are idea for making a small memento for each member of the family. if you don’t have a lot of metal in these rings we have made the main part of the bracelet or ring in silver and used your own gold to set the stones in.
Sometimes your inherited jewellery has no monetary value but a huge amount of emotional memory for you. In these cases it’s still worth having a special piece of jewellery made.
