YOUR REMODELLING CONSULTATION

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!

Also, 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 ask you what ideas you have in mind, listen to your thoughts and then we will start to discuss the possibilities – this is where our wealth of knowledge and design expertise really comes into play!

We will show you sample pieces, which you can try on, and look through relevant photos in our extensive library of sketches and photos 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) to make sure that you are happy with all aspects of the design. This adds a few extra steps to the design process, but we definitely think it’s worth taking the time to get everything right!

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

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

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