New jewellery from old |
|
Here we re-model an old ring and bracelet in to a completely new piece of jewellery. Our client decided to recycle a few pieces of old jewellery, combining them, to provide enough diamonds, to create the ring you see, below right.

Here's how we did it |

This re style was commissioned straight from the pencil sketch. The old stones were carefully removed, and cleaned ready for re- setting. We often get asked about re-polishing gem stones. In the case of diamonds, it's rarely necessary, but other coloured gems do scratch with wear and it is at this point any re-cutting can be done. More about re-styling your jewellery |
The finished set of rings. ( Five in all. ) We made two rings, with two diamonds, one with three diamonds and also made two plain rose gold rings, to act as spacers, allowing even more options of wearability. This concept is very versatile. You can also add full eternity rings, plaited rings or other parallel- edged rings to produce extaordinary combinations |

That was the best buying experience I have EVER had. When I first called Sherry Jewellery I was slightly nervous, not only because I had stumbled upon them via the internet and live nowhere near them, I had the slightly embarrassing issue of wanting to recycle the diamonds from old rings into something new, I was worried they would think us miserly! I needn’t have been concerned, talking to Ruth is like putting on a pair of slippers – so comfortable, and she really knows jewellery. I must have been an infuriating client, Me: “I want a ring made from the diamonds from 4 old rings and it needs to be a wedding, engagement and eternity ring all in one”
Ruth: “How do you want it to look?”
Me: “I have no idea”
Ruth: “leave it with me I will send you some sketches”
After just a few phone calls and emails, (Ruth had so many beautiful ideas, I wanted them all) we decided on a design.
That was five weeks ago and today the most breathtaking ring in the world arrived, I’m sure everyone thinks that about their ring but mine really is!
Thank you to everyone involved at Sherry Jewellery – I am on cloud nine today. Forever your client.
With love from Ali. West Midlands
