Remodelling Jewellery: A Better Option than Creating New Jewellery
Jewellery holds sentimental value, especially when it’s inherited from our loved ones. Meaningful as it is, over time, tastes change and styles evolve. What used to be fashionable may not be relevant anymore. However, you don’t have to let go of your precious jewels or leave them in the drawer, just because they are no longer your style. Remodelling jewellery is an excellent option to give your old jewellery a new lease on life. Here’s why remodelling jewellery can be better than creating new jewellery.

Preserves Sentimental Value
Remodelling jewellery allows you to retain the sentimental value attached to it. By reworking the piece, you can incorporate the original design elements and precious stones into a new piece that better reflects your style. It allows you to maintain the emotional connection with your loved one while creating something that aligns with your taste.
Cost-effective
Creating new jewellery can be expensive and with valuable stones or metals, you may end up paying more. Remodelling, on the other hand, can be a more cost-effective option. You can reuse the existing gemstones, metals and other materials to create a new piece. It is less expensive than buying the same piece of jewellery new, especially if you have high-quality materials that are expensive to replace.
Customisable
Remodelling jewellery is an excellent option if you want to create a piece of jewellery that’s unique and personalised. You can work with a designer to create a piece that reflects your personality and style. You can incorporate your design ideas into the piece and make it truly one-of-a-kind.
Eco-friendly
Remodelling jewellery is an eco-friendly option. Instead of buying new materials and contributing to the depletion of natural resources, you are reusing existing materials. It reduces the carbon footprint associated with creating new jewellery and helps to minimise waste.
The finished creation is a wideband ring that utilises gemstones from the original ring. An additional Ceylon sapphire and diamonds were sourced for this project and added to the new piece.
Remodelling jewellery can be seen as a great option to give new life to old, sentimental pieces. It is cost-effective, customisable, eco-friendly and allows you to maintain the sentimental value of the piece. If you have jewellery that no longer suits you, consider remodelling it rather than letting it gather dust in a drawer.
