CUSTOMER STORIES

We love remodelling – it’s a huge part of what we do! The wonderful thing about remodelling projects is that they are all completely unique – we hear the personal history behind your old pieces of jewellery and then have the opportunity to create something new and individual for you.

To get a feel for the magical world of remodelling, read a few of our stories below. To browse images of remodelled pieces, have a look at our gallery of images. And if you’re interested in the finer details and how we go about melting your gold, there is a great deal more information in our remodelling FAQs and our short remodelling video.

If you have some old jewellery that you would like to have remodelled, please don’t hesitate in getting in touch with our friendly and knowledgeable team!

STACKING DIAMOND RINGS

A customer came into the shop with a 5 stone diamond ring that she had been lucky enough to inherit. As the setting was quite old-fashioned, she felt she would wear the diamonds more if they were set in a more contemporary manner. Having initially sent her a couple of different sketches, she opted for 5 stacking rings, based on our Aurora design.

The beauty of stacking rings is that there is great scope for wearing the rings in a different order every day, and they don’t all have to be worn at the same time! Made in 9ct white gold, our customer was thrilled with her new set of rings.

SOLITAIRE PENDANT

Sometimes a customer may prefer that their gold isn’t melted down. On this occasion, a lady wanted to maintain the integrity of her late husband’s wedding ring while incorporating it into a pendant so she could wear it on daily basis. She also had a diamond which she wanted to use in the remodelling project.

We worked out the design details whereby the wedding ring formed part of the structure of her new pendant and additional metal was added to flesh out the design and set the diamond. The result was a clean, contemporary two tone pendant that captured all the elements which were important to her – perfect for everyday wear!

RINGS FROM MELTED GOLD

On many occasions, it’s possible to make the most of a customer’s own gold by adding white gold or silver to the design. This allows for a two tone piece which may be more flexible from the point of view of combining it with different outfits and other pieces of jewellery.

A customer came to us with a certain amount of gold and wanted two new ring sets. We made a simple set of 5 stacking rings for her, 3 of which were made by melting her gold and 2 made from silver. She also opted for a variation on our Eclipse ring where the majority of the ring was made from her gold, with a silver detail section. To finish it off, it was bezel set with a round brilliant cut diamond – two wonderful wide ring options for different fingers, on different hands, for different days of the week!
