Gold Nugget Jewellery From Recycled Gold

gold nugget jewellery

All our gold nugget jewellery is made from recycled gold. If you have your own old gold jewellery it is an ideal way to update it. The beads are “free cast” by hand without a mold so each one is individual. As the gold cools without a mold it shrinks slightly giving a rough surface to the nugget making it look like a natural found nugget of gold. This finish is know as “reticulation”. Pictured below is our classic necklace, bracelet and earstuds combo. This set has been made with a mixture of sizes, from 3mm to 8mm and is our current favourite. Strung on tiger tail with our classic hallmarked s catch.

Recently we had lots of fun recycling someones old jewellery in three different colours of gold: yellow, rose and white. Of course if you don’t have your own gold we can still make you one.

Three Colour Gold Nugget Bracelet

A great option if you have just a small amount of gold to be repurposed is to combine it with our silver nuggets. This necklet is made from a single heavy weight wedding band.

Unusual Gold Eternity Rings

Unusual Gold Eternity Rings

Our guide to Unusual Gold Eternity Rings covers a range of styles to suit all tastes, whether you like dainty fine jewellery, chunky jewellery, or coloured gemstones. Eternity rings symbolise everlasting love. Most people wear their eternity ring every day and therefore it needs to be a design you absolutely love. A lot of eternity rings available on the high street are very plain, often a single channel set row of diamonds in a plain band. Whilst we do offer this style, we specialise in designing beautiful bespoke eternity rings that show off your personality and the uniqueness of your love for your partner. Here are a few ideas for your eternity ring inspiration.

Unusual Gold Eternity Rings princess cut rubover rubover diamond eternity ring

A simple alternative to the standard channel set eternity ring is to go for a rubover diamond eternity ring. Rubover settings follow the shape of the diamonds giving the ring a more interesting shape. It also means that you can mix the shapes and sizes of your stones.

If you are looking for something a bit more substantial, we have a number of chunky gold eternity ring designs. These can accommodate much larger diamonds such as in our textured gold nugget ring. Equally you could have a chunky ring that uses smaller stones, such as our wide gold scatter ring.

fine gold diamond eternity ring Ruby and diamond eternity ring gold diamond twist eternity ring

You make be looking for a fine gold eternity ring that is a little different to what you have seen before. Our Pave set diamond twist ring works well as a fitted eternity ring because the twist allows space for the bottom of the setting from your engagement ring to nestle into.

Traditionally eternity rings are set with diamonds, but this isn’t set in stone. Many people choose to add another gemstone with their diamonds to inject a bit of colour into the design.  The most popular alternatives to diamond eternity rings are sapphire eternity rings, emerald eternity rings and ruby eternity rings.

vintage gold eternity ring gold filigree eternity ring

We find that often people are looking for vintage diamond engagement rings but want something that will last. Second hand rings often already have years of wear and can require a lot of refurbishment make them last. As an alternative this we often a number of beautiful vintage inspired designs that are handmade from scratch just for you.

Redesign your old jewellery

Some of your old jewellery will be of sentimental value so instead of getting money for your old gold we redesign it for you. In a process called “A precious legacy” we work with you to reuse the precious metal, diamonds and gemstones into a fabulous new set of jewellery that you will love to wear everyday. We offer a free design consultation where your jewellery is assessed for re-use. Metal type is tested, diamonds are tested and we make an inventory of all the materials that mean the most to you or are most valuable. We then make design proposals based on the designs that you like from our collection of how everything can be reused and a budget. You may then proceed with one or all of the pieces that have been proposed. Sometimes there is enough surplus scrap metal to go towards paying for the labour on the making of the jewellery, otherwise you just pay for the labour. the finished pieces are worth much more in both sentimental and financial terms.

New Tricolour Stacking Rings – Reusing Old Gold Diamonds and Ruby.

unusual stacking ring

This stunning new set of unusual stacking rings were made using recycled gold from jewellery that was no longer worn by the owner. The metal and stones from the unwanted jewellery were remodelled into these stunning new dress rings that can now be worn and enjoyed every day.

Stacking rings are an excellent way to reuse old stones from unwanted jewellery because they make excellent use of stones of different sizes and shapes. At Pruden and Smith we love to create bespoke commissions to breath new life into tired or damaged jewellery that is no longer worn.

If you are looking for a unique dress ring or just something to wear everyday, stacking rings could be the perfect choice. Stacking rings offer the perfect opportunity to build up a collection of collectable jewellery by ordering a ring for each special occasion. You could even tailor the design to suit the occasion for example order a birthstone ring to celebrate your loved ones or perhaps something for your ruby wedding anniversary or diamond wedding anniversary.

If you would like more information about stacking rings please contact us on 01273 846338 or at info@prelive.prudenandsmith.com

Unusual Gold Jewellery

All the designs at Pruden and Smith are created by our own fantastic designers including unusual gold jewellery. They come from a little seed of imagination and then grow into a beautiful design to be then created into something really unique.

We love creating new designs so you will constantly be seeing new images on our Pruden and Smith website.

Our unusual gold jewellery is no exception, with other jewellers trying to emulate some of the unusual and bespoke jewellery we create. Based in Sussex, we sell to customers all over the South east of England, with customers coming from London to visit us and we even receive commissions from abroad – our reputation growing daily.

Take the nugget range for example – unusual gold jewellery at its finest – with some fantastic designs in our ring, bracelet pendant and earring ranges. We even have cufflinks in this same range! We always take our time when looking at new designs and the nugget range has been a popular choice since 1988 when they were first born.

18ct yellow gold roman inspired ring

Never mass produced, these pieces of unusual gold jewellery are made individually and that random form is part of their charm. The strong and beautiful ‘S’ catch, which shows our hallmark, is an essential part of the originality. They can also be made for you in silver if that is your choice.

Or how about looking at some of our rough diamonds? Some really unique pieces of unusual gold jewellery and will look stunning as an engagement ring, an eternity ring or even a wedding ring! Or if you just want a gorgeous present then they look fabulous as a dress ring ♥

The designs we have created to date include either diamonds or rubies, to ensure a rough and uncut look – really unusual!

However you can always choose a single rough diamond, emerald or ruby in your ring – this can then be worn separately or part of a stacking ring – all perfect choices and will look wonderful for your choice in unusual gold jewellery.

18ct yellow gold nugget ring

Don’t forget there are always special commissions for jewellery. If you have an idea for a piece of unusual gold jewellery, then why not have a chat with our designer Rebecca. Here’s one we created from used diamonds in another piece of jewellery – a great way to recycle your jewellery!

Unusual Engagement Rings

At Pruden and Smith, we are really proud of all the designs of jewellery. We take real care to listen to what you, our customers want, and then take a variation on a theme – we love the unusual engagement rings we design and create – it is really wonderful to match an engagement ring with a customer and we take great care to ensure you are 100% happy with your style of ring, the jewels you have chosen and the precious metal it sits in.

Now is the time many nervous men will be getting down on one and asking that all important question. Hopefully it is a positive response and we just love to be involved in the start of a blossoming and exciting future for each couple.

We understand that your engagement ring will need to suit you – it needs to fit well on your finger and look really great! So we have put together a few designs that we think are just a little bit unusual. Many of our customers are from Brighton and so have the same expectations and ideas as the customers we have who come down from London. The pressure is therefore on to constantly create new designs, unusual engagement rings, eternity rings and dress rings.

We would love to welcome you into our workshop in Ditchling to hear your views on our unusual engagement rings. Or you can always give us a call on 01273 846338.

We look forward to seeing you very soon….
