Jewellery Remodelling
There is something beautiful and special about handing down jewellery through the generations, allowing the same metals and gemstones to be worn throughout the changing years and allowing old memories to be treasured everyday.
However, sometimes our heirloom jewellery doesn't quite fit right, or has lost stones, or simply doesn't match your own personal style.
That doesn't mean you can't wear it! Jewellery remodelling allows you to take the existing precious metals and stones, and repurpose them into the perfect size, shape and design that combines its sentimental value with your personal style.
If you want to design a piece from scratch, take a look at my custom made jewellery service.

Of course. I take the utmost care and use my many years of experience in jewellery design and production to make you something you'll love.
