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.

  • One item of jewellery need not be involved in
    remodelling. A distinctive piece of jewellery can
    be made from several sentimental pieces of
    jewellery that you have (but are collecting dust
    in a drawer). Your jeweller can assist you in
    creating a design that will maximise the
    utilisation of the components.
  • You can Custom Jewellery Design that is create a
    necklace, bracelet, or ring that is unique to you
    and your memories. Jewellery remaking can also be
    used to reset a diamond or other gemstone into a
    new setting or to change the metal type of a
    piece of jewellery. If you have an antique piece
    of jewellery that is no longer fashionable, your
    jeweller can help you redesign it in a modern
    way.
  • Jewellery remaking is then used to patch a broken
    piece of jewellery. Your jeweller can use a
    combination of soldering, laser welding, and
    other techniques to repair it. In some cases, it
    can be possible to replace missing pieces or
    replace components that are no longer available.
    Remodelling jewellery is an excellent way to give
    old jewellery a new lease on life. It can also be
    used to create something beautiful and unique
    that you can treasure for years to come.

Let it Sparkle
  • Some couples choose to buy their wedding and
    engagement rings when they can only afford a
    simple style. After some time, upgrading to
    something a little more lavish is a wonderful way
    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.
    You could also opt for a wedding ring with more
    ornate detailing or a larger carat weight.
  • In addition to new rings, you could also add an
    eternity band to your set or purchase a special
    anniversary band to mark the years of marriage.
    When it comes to upgrading your rings, there are
    various options to choose from. You could select
    a new style from a different designer or opt for
    Australian handmade jewellery from a local
    jeweller.
  • You could even choose to add a special stone or
    two to your existing rings for a unique look.
    Regardless of your choice, upgrading your rings
    is a meaningful way to celebrate your love and
    appreciation for each other. With the right
    design and stone selection, your upgraded rings
    will be a beautiful reminder of your commitment
    to each other for years to come.

Change Colour
  • Jewellery remaking might make you fall in love
    with your piece all over again if you love the
    design but don't like the colour of the metal it
    is composed of. Your jeweller can rebuild a piece
    for you in new metal, whether you have started
    wearing more white gold than yellow gold over the
    years or the wearer of a piece you inherited
    liked a different colour of gold.
