YOUR REMODELLING CONSULTATION

SOME MORE EXAMPLES OF OUR REMODELLING PROJECTS

Things To Think About Before Your Remodelling Consultation

Before coming into the shop, gather your old jewellery that you are considering remodelling. This can include broken pieces, old chains and items that you haven’t worn for years.

It is also worth thinking about what you would like, and what you would get most wear from – would you like a new ring? Or have you always wanted a pared back gold bangle? You can browse our gallery of images for ideas and inspiration.

If a photo you’ve seen online has caught your eye, that will be helpful as an initial idea, although we don’t copy other makers’ designs. And please don’t worry if you don’t have any thoughts at all – we’ll be happy to go through options with you when we meet in person!

Consider what approximate budget you have in mind – this will help us in relation to possibilities for your new piece of jewellery.

During Your Remodelling Consultation

We love talking about and looking at jewellery! At the beginning of your consultation we will examine your stones and weigh your gold before discussing design options.

We will then start to discuss the possibilities, and this is where our wealth of knowledge and design expertise really come into play!

We will show you sample pieces and go through our extensive library of sketches and images in order to clarify design details.

Don’t worry if you are unsure of what you would like before coming into us, we will break down design elements and ask all the right questions so that we can work out the perfect piece for you.

Design Details

Quite often designs and quotes can be worked out on the spot, which is great!

On other occasions, we will take note of all the details discussed and come back to you by email with a hand drawn sketch or a Computer Aided Design (CAD) in order to ensure that you are happy with all the designs. This adds in a few extra steps in the design process, but we definitely think it’s worth taking the time to get everything right!

This design work will be done bearing in mind your budget, which is why it is very helpful to have a feeling for what budget you have in mind.

Sometimes, once the order has been confirmed and the deposit paid, we might make a wax resin (or model) of your piece of jewellery to finalise exact design details and so that you can try it on.

If, at this stage, any small design changes need to be made, this can be done.

Pricing

As each remodelling project is different, it is important to take the time to quote on a case-by-case basis.

Prices start from €250, and many customers spend between €700 and €1500, while other spend more, depending on the complexity of the details involved.

We always aim to work within a customer’s budget so please do let us know what you have in mind, and we’ll be able to advise you as to what is possible working within the structure of your budget and the context of the old jewellery you have.
