Why Now is the Perfect Time to Remodel Your Jewellery
If you’ve ever thought about remodelling your jewellery, 2025 is the year to do it – and here’s why. With gold prices higher than ever, investing in new pieces can be costly, but if you already own gold jewellery, you’re in a unique position to make the most of what you have.
Rather than letting unworn pieces sit in a drawer or selling them for scrap value, jewellery remodelling allows you to retain sentimental value, refresh your collection, and maximise the worth of your gold and gemstones.
But What About More Complex Designs?
While remodelling often helps reduce material costs, the final price depends on the complexity of the design. If your vision involves intricate detailing, additional gemstones, or advanced goldsmithing techniques, the craftsmanship involved may still make it a significant investment. This can often be covered by selling any gold that is unused in the process or is not suitable. You gain a completely bespoke piece, rich with meaning and designed to last a lifetime.
Why Jewellery Remodelling is the Smart Choice in 2025
✅ Financially Smart
Instead of investing in entirely new materials, you can use what you already have, lowering costs compared to buying new gold or diamonds.
✅ Sentimentally Priceless
Inherited pieces, old engagement rings, or jewellery from significant life moments can be transformed into something new, without losing their history.
✅ Sustainable and Ethical
By reusing your own materials, you’re making an eco-conscious choice, reducing the demand for newly mined gold and gemstones.
✅ Bespoke to You
Whether it’s modernising a vintage ring, merging multiple pieces into one, or creating a completely new design, every remodelled piece is unique to your style.
What Can Be Remodelled?
Anything made from gold or platinum, even old gold teeth!
💍 Rings – Re-polish, recombine and reset old gemstones and diamonds into a fresh design. Surplus gems can be made up and gifted to loved ones.
📿 Necklaces & Pendants – Meltdown and refashion unworn chains and pendants into meaningful new configurations, perhaps to represent different members of your family.
🔗 Bracelets & Bangles – Meltdown and refashion dented hollow-hinged bracelets and dated charm bracelets into a solid gold bangle.
✨ Earrings – Often we have a pile of odd earrings, re-match them or create a stunning ring or pendant
At Pruden and Smith, we work closely with you to bring your vision to life – whether it’s a small refresh or a complete redesign.
