for deeper transformations — where your materials are reworked into entirely new, heirloom-quality pieces.
Old Treasures, New Love: Fine Jewellery is our most custom, involved process — designed for those looking to fully reimagine their jewellery from the ground up. It’s our signature service for honouring the history you hold close, while creating something deeply personal for the next chapter.
This process can include melting down your gold, resetting your stones, and taking a more advanced approach to reworking your pieces. Together, we’ll explore your jewellery box and uncover the potential in what you no longer wear — whether it’s your grandmother’s engagement ring, a collection of inherited chains, or stones waiting to shine again.
This is a slower, more intricate process where we dream big, design intentionally, and craft with precision and care. Each project is custom-quoted and typically takes 6–12 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and any additional materials required.

frequently asked questions
We’ve gathered some of our most frequently asked questions below to help guide you through the process.
Can my gold be melted down and reused?
Yes — in many cases, it can!
We can melt down and reuse your gold as part of this process, depending on the material and the design. We’ll look at everything together during your consultation and guide you through what’s possible.
Can I reset stones into a completely new piece?
Yes!
We can reset your stones into an entirely new design, whether you’re working with a single piece or combining multiple. We’ll explore options together based on what you have.

Typically 6–12+ weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and any additional materials needed.

How is pricing determined?
Each project is custom-quoted based on your materials, the design, and the level of work involved.
We’ll walk you through everything during your consultation so you feel clear and comfortable before moving forward.
Do I need to book a consultation first?
Yes - all Fine Jewellery projects begin with a consultation so we can understand your pieces and guide the design process together.
Can I combine multiple pieces into one design?
Absolutely! Many projects involve combining elements from several pieces to create something entirely new — often leading to the most meaningful transformations.
What if I’m not sure what I want yet?
That’s completely okay.
Most clients come in with ideas still forming (or no idea at all). We’ll guide you through the process and explore what feels right together.
Is my jewellery safe with you?
Always. We treat every piece with care and intention, understanding the sentimental value behind it.
Will additional materials be needed?
In some cases, yes.
Depending on the design, additional gold or stones may be required — we’ll always talk this through with you before moving forward.
