Tips for Jewellery Remaking

• Jewellery remaking is a terrific approach to
  making a priceless object wearable once again,
  whether it's a cherished family relic that has
  fallen out of fashion or a beloved engagement
  ring that has been harmed through time. Are you
  considering custom jewellery design but need help
  determining where to begin? Here are some
  approaches to consider.

What is Jewellery Remaking?

• Simply said, jewellery remaking involves either
  using your old jewellery to make something
  entirely new or recreating an old piece of
  jewellery to give it a new lease on life. A woman
  recently came with ancient charm bracelets and
  chains that her ex-husband had given her years
  before, totalling about 100g of gold. Of course,
  they still held some sentimental value, but she
  wanted to make them fit the new stage of her
  life. She is eager to wear the statement gold
  bangle, necklace and earrings that we crafted for
  her as a set because they all look fantastic when
  worn together.
• The process of jewellery remaking involves
  several steps. First, the jeweller needs to
  assess the condition of the existing jewellery
  and then decide what can be reused and what needs
  to be discarded. After that, the jeweller can
  start sketching out the design for the remake,
  taking into account the desired look, any special
  characteristics or features that need to be
  included, and the desired budget.
• Once the custom jewellery design is in place, the
  jeweller can start the remaking process. This
  will involve cutting, polishing, and setting the
  stones, soldering the metal pieces together, and
  even adding a hallmark if desired. The jeweller
  may also be able to use some of the original
  pieces in the remake, such as the clasp of a
  bracelet or the setting of a ring.
• The end result is usually a piece of jewellery
  that is more modern, stylish, and up-to-date than
  the original and one that captures the essence of
  the original piece but with a more modern twist.
  In the case of my client, we were able to craft a
  beautiful set of jewellery that she can wear and
  enjoy for many years to come.

Remodel

• A fantastic method to reclaim the significance of
  a worn-out piece of jewellery is to have your
  jeweller construct a replica of it. This method
  was used to recreate the engagement ring
  Canberra, with the new piece mirroring the ring's
  front profile. This is ideal for an item that you
  still adore the design but cannot wear due to
  damage or metal fatigue.
• Alternatively, you could have your jeweller
  construct an entirely new piece of Australian
  handmade jewellery from the metal or stones of
  your original piece. This is a great way to give
  new life to an old piece and create something
  that is unique and special to you.
• Finally, you could repurpose the metal or stones
  into a completely different item. You could have
  the metal fashioned into a necklace or bracelet
  or the stones set into a pair of earrings. This
  is a great way to make a completely new piece of
  jewellery that is personal to you. No matter
  what option you choose, each will be sure to give
  you a new item that you can keep for years to
  come.

Latest Designs

• Some jewellery designs go out of vogue over time,
  just like fashion trends. However, this does not
  imply that you have to discard a piece
  completely. Redesigning the stones in an existing
  item into a new pattern may be all that is
  required to breathe new life into it.
• For instance, a ring with a single stone may be
  redesigned to add a pair of stones and a new
  setting. This will give it a brand-new look and
  make it more fashionable.
• Similarly, the metal of an item may be changed to
  a more popular one, like white gold instead of
  yellow gold. If the piece has intricate carvings,
  it may be polished and given a new look. The
  addition of gemstones to the patterns can make
  the piece even more attractive.
• Moreover, including a few additional components,
  like a clasp or a chain, can also help give the
  piece a new look. Finally, if you want to give
  your jewellery a completely new look, you may
  have it redesigned and crafted from scratch. This
  can be done by consulting a jewellery designer
  who will help you create a unique piece that
  reflects your personality and style.

  engagement rings when they can only afford a

  to commemorate your shared adventure while
  retaining the significance of your initial
  creation. For example, you could upgrade your
  engagement ring Canberra to include a larger and
  more vibrant diamond or a more intricate setting.

  wearing more white gold than yellow gold over the
  years or the wearer of a piece you inherited
  liked a different colour of gold.
