Jewellery Remodelling

Transform old into new

Jewellery remodelling is a technique that can be traced back through the centuries. Precious metals such as gold and silver can be melted down and transformed into new jewellery.

Historically, jewellery was remodelled for many reasons. Precious metals were valuable commodities, and existing pieces could be transformed into new objects as circumstances changed.

Today, remodelling gives you the opportunity to transform jewellery you already own into something new, while retaining the precious materials and the story connected to them.

Remodelling Jewellery for Sentimental Reasons

Today, there are many reasons to remodel a piece of precious jewellery. Perhaps it has been handed down through generations but is broken, no longer fits, or simply no longer suits your taste.

Often, however, it is the sentimental value that makes an old piece worth transforming. The jewellery may carry memories of a loved one, a special occasion or a previous chapter in your life. Remodelling allows you to give those materials a new form while keeping the story and meaning connected to the original piece.

So, instead of leaving your old jewellery unworn, bring it into my workshop and let’s transform it into something new and uniquely yours.

Who can remodel jewellery?

Turn your old jewellery into something new

Customers bring their old, broken or unworn precious jewellery, and even gold teeth, into the workshop for remodelling work. Once the jewellery is dismantled, it can then be melted down and reformed into a new jewel. Hence, the customer, now not only has a completely new piece.

The design for the new jewellery is tailored to the customer’s wishes. Saskia works with her customer to create a unique, wearable jewel while retaining its sentimental value.

Alternatively, if you do not have any  jewellery that could be recycled, commission Saskia for an entirely new piece of jewellery.

Contact Saskia directly to discuss any remodelling ideas you may have.

Thanks for all the work and attention you are giving to these rings. It feels like one of the few payments we’re making for this wedding that will actually endure! So we’re very glad to have you looking after it.
