Jewellery Remodelling
Transform old into new
Jewellery remodelling is a technique which can be traced back through the centuries. Precious metal, such as silver and gold are easily melted down and re-used. In the past, the remodelling of jewellery was done for a variety of reasons, since gold was scarce, because it was an expensive commodity. Or looted and consequently needed to be melted down, to transform into new pieces.

Remodelling jewellery is bourn out of sentimental value
Yet, the 21st century sees different reasons for remodelling precious jewellery. First of all, people have become more aware of their possesions and resusing or repairing is becoming more popular, as we have lived in a through-a-waay envirnment for 60 odd years. Therefore, we are more informed of how we use things and how to care for them to make them last longer. Most noteworthy, in jewellery is also the sentimental value. Consequently, remodelling jewellery is a great way to wear something which has been handed down through generations but it’s broken or doesn’t fit or is no longer to taste.
So, re-use your old jewellery and transform it into a new unique piece.
