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.

Re-style your old jewellery Re-model old jewellery in to new

Here's how we did it


The brief was to create a special birthday gift with ‘wow’ factor, for the client’s daughter’s 21st.

The jewellery to be re-modelled had sentimental value, but was no longer worn. So to re model these pieces, really built in extra meaning to the gift.

After talking through ideas, a series of rings, which could be worn separately or as a dynamic combination was decided upon. 

Re-design using old diamonds

Recycle old jewellery



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.

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
