The art of reinvention
Jewellery was made to be seen and enjoyed, but the reality is that tastes and fashions change. So, if a piece in your collection remains unworn and sitting in its box, why not reinvent it? Clare Blatherwick and her team can reimagine an existing piece of jewellery into an updated design that you’ll love, or even reuse the gemstones in a completely new design of your own creation.
Heirloom jewellery alterations
Sentimental value and wearability don’t always go hand in hand, which is why it’s always worth considering having an unworn piece altered to suit your style. If you can’t bear to part with an inherited piece of jewellery, it can be sympathetically updated in a variety of ways, and become a beloved piece in the family collection once more. Antique and period jewellery can also be worth more than the sum of its parts, so you might like to consider selling it and reinvesting in another piece you love. We’d be happy to discuss the various options with you.
Engagement ring redesign
Clare and her team have a wealth of experience in remodelling engagement rings. There are many reasons why you might want to remodel your ring – perhaps you’re approaching a significant anniversary and would like to mark the occasion with a timely update, are looking for a setting that feels more contemporary or that better suits your current style. You might even be considering more dramatic changes for an engagement ring that feels completely refreshed. Remodelling an engagement ring also makes a thoughtful wedding anniversary gift idea, and is an opportunity to celebrate all over again and create new memories together as a couple.
How does the remodelling process work?
Our lead jewellery designer Jacqui brings over 30 years of experience to every client’s jewellery remodelling journey. Following an initial briefing, you will be presented with a series of sketches showing the ways your piece can be transformed. The price of a remodelling project varies greatly depending on the materials, complexity and time involved. Commissioning sketches starts at £200, and we can advise you on the likely final cost of remodelling your jewellery piece following your consultation. To request more details, please contact us.
