There are all sorts of good reasons to recycle your jewellery!
One of my specialties is to recycle your old jewelry into unique pieces. Have you inherited jewelry that seems out of fashion, no longer fits you or your taste, but has sentimental value? Come to the workshop and we will give them a second life!
A ring can become a pendant, a brooch, earrings, and so many other things...
Two techniques are possible: complete transformation with casting or reworking of the design and elements.
It is an ethical approach and accessible to everyone!
My process for recycling and transformation.
1. You bring me your pieces of jewellery
The first step is the evaluation of your jewellery to determine the usable materials (gold, silver, stone, etc.) to recycle.
If you have doubts about certain pieces, I can help you go through them and make a selection.
2. Jewellery inspection
I analyse all the jewellery to sort it according to its colour and the percentage of gold in the alloy.
I also assess the condition of the gemstones. Maybe there is a need for them to be polished or trimmed?
3. Choice of design
We discuss your ideas and desires for creating the design according to the raw materials available.
I can complete the gold or gems to make the jewellery, with an estimate.
4. Definition of the technique
Two choices are available to you:
- Recycling the raw material, and remaking it into a new piece. "Lost wax" technique!
- The transformation of existing jewellery by modifying it without going through casting.
