One of the wonderful aspects of working in the world of jewellery is how extremely personal it is. People come in to our shop and tell us the most incredible stories behind their old pieces of jewellery that they’d like to have remodelled into something new. One customer who came in to us recently is the perfect example…
Jane* found out as an adult that she was adopted. This came to light after her adoptive mother had died. She tried to contact her birth mother and did manage to establish who she was. Unfortunately, her birth mother had passed away by the time Jane was able get in touch. Nevertheless, all was not lost. Her birth mother had left two gold rings with a neighbour, asking the neighbour to give them to Jane should she ever come looking for her. Happily, the neighbour and Jane’s paths did cross and she received the precious rings.
Earlier this year Jane came in to our shop in the Westbury Mall. She wanted to have the two rings remodelled into a contemporary piece of jewellery that she could wear on a regular basis as a special link with her birth mother. We were delighted to go through ideas with her and she decided on a variation on our small Eclipse pendant. Jane is now enjoy wearing her remodelled pendant as well as getting to know her newfound brother!
