Your old, broken and out of vogue jewellery can be recycled and made into new pieces of jewellery. Any gemstones can be incorporated into the new item enabling you to retain the memories they possess.
As you can see from the photographs the process starts with a consultation and rough sketch, this is then refined and when the sketch is finished and the client is happy with the result, a time scale is discussed (it can be any time from 3 weeks to 3 months depending on how intricate the piece is).
The piece of jewellery is then commissioned, and usually a deposit of 50% is requested to secure the time slot discussed.
When mixed carats of Gold are used (9ct, 14ct and 18ct) it can only be hallmarked at the lower carat grade. (i.e. 14ct & 18ct would hallmark at 14ct).
