What Can I Do With My “Old” Jewelry?
Renew – Let us bring it back to the condition it was when it was new.
Removing scratches and dents, straightening shanks and prongs, and a thorough cleaning followed by professional
polishing & buffing, will give you back that piece you once loved.
or
Repair – We mend or replace broken pieces such as shanks and clasps,
tighten settings, etc. We’ll follow that up with a polish and buff to make something that was old and tired look
like new again.
or
Restore – Restoration is the process of complete renewal. All structural and
cosmetic repairs are done. If necessary, stones are reset or replaced. Old metal might be reshaped or in some
cases new metal added when necessary. This is the process a museum would use to care for a valued piece in its
collection.
or
Remake – Using the precious metals and stones in your piece to create
something completely new. Melting the metal, un-mounting the stones, adding new material(s) and redesigning
something spectacular that’s just for you. This is the process of creating a custom treasure out of a jewelry
box outcast.
or
Re-Gift – Never ever discount the value of sentimentality. A piece of your
“old” jewelry can be a treasured gift to someone you care for – or someone who cares for you. Value is not
always measured in karat gold and precious stones. Value is often in jewelry’ s history. Something once worn by
you might have more value than all the gold and diamonds in a jeweler’ s showcase. Re-gifting is the first step
in the creation of a family heirloom. We can take what you might consider an “old” treasure, restore it, re-package it, and then let you set it on a
journey that will be treasured for generations to come.
