Remodelling gold jewellery
Fashion is fleeting, styles come and go and our sentimental ties to a piece of jewellery may change over time.
Fortunately, your gold jewellery can evolve with your tastes.
How?
Gold is an incredibly resilient and malleable metal, which means that it’s possible to remodel all your old gold jewellery into contemporary pieces that you’ll fall in love with all over again.
Whether you’re in possession of a long-forgotten bracelet, estate jewellery or wedding rings from an old relationship, our jewellery remodelling services can help breathe new life into your old gold pieces.
No matter the condition of your jewellery or the caratage of the gold, SilverStone Jewellery can revitalise all your gold jewellery and transform it into something beautiful. Conveniently located on Auckland’s North Shore, we offer a free consultation and advice service at our fully equipped studio workshop. Send us an email at lori@silverstonejewellery.co.nz or give us a call on 021 184 6467 for a no-obligations chat about your options.
Why would I remodel my gold jewellery?
 |
 |
There are many advantages to recycling your gold jewellery, including:
- Cost benefit: You are providing us with some or all of the raw materials (including gold, diamonds and other gemstones) required to make the new piece, which can reduce production costs substantially and allow us to pass those savings onto you!
- Sentimental value: Many of us have a piece of jewellery that carries emotional significance but is perhaps stylistically outdated. Redesigning such jewellery is a thoughtful way to retain sentimental value while bringing the piece more in line with current design trends.
- Modernise old pieces: Not all jewellery designs are timeless. We can redesign your engagement ring and other gold pieces to reflect your tastes in the here and now.
What type of jewellery can be remodelled?
Just about any type of solid or gold jewellery (not plated gold, sorry!) can be remodelled. This might include:
- Old jewellery
- Broken jewellery
- Estate jewellery
- Engagement rings and wedding rings from old relationships
- Single earrings that you’ve kept after losing the other one
Please note that this is far from an exhaustive list, and just about any gold ring, earring, bracelet, necklace, brooch or pendant can be used in the redesign process No matter if your gold is 9ct, 14ct, 18ct or something in between, there’s every chance that we’ll be able to transform it into something beautiful.

- We weigh the gold to give you a better idea of how much raw material you have and what you might be able to make with it.
- If you require additional gold and/or gemstones to create your design, we can use some of our own materials to ‘top up’ your resources.

- Once you’re happy with the design, we provide you with a quote and an estimation of how long the work will take.
