Re-style your unwanted jewellery into something unique and outstanding. Re-modelling old jewellery into new, takes skill and good design. Sherry jewellery can create beautiful designs, giving old jewellery a new lease of life. Old stones are often un-calibrated, which means a truly bespoke mount is the only option to set them securely. We make each item of jewellery from scratch, ensuring the gems are housed precisely, into suitable settings.
There are many options when re-styling your jewellery and of course, this depends what you’d ultimately like to achieve.
A re-style may involve a completely new creation around original gems; the addition of new stones or metal, or the remaking of a component part. Whatever you decide, the whole process is carried out by us and in our own workshop.
It’s possible to use the existing metal to make a new piece of jewellery. This can be done in a number of ways, through melting down and totally reforming an item by hand, to casting a new piece, using the original gold, (though it is sometimes necessary to add gold when recasting.)
Re-styling your jewellery is a great way to recycle pieces which may have gone past the point of feasible restoration. In these cases, duplicate copies are possible. We’re able to create close replicas of treasured items, giving a lifetime’s wear all over again.
You can even have the option of changing the metal colour, from say, white to yellow gold. Stones from the original jewellery can be reset into new items. But we cannot change the colour of original existing metal; it has to be new metal to do this.
You don’t have to just stick to the materials that you start with. A new piece can be greatly enhanced by adding extra gems, giving extra dynamism to a redesign. Beautiful gems can have a completely new piece created around them. We have transformed unwanted jewellery into extraordinary, statement pieces, by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways.
Our design experience and understanding of ‘wear-ability’ will help you to achieve fantastic results.
This beautiful spessartine garnet was removed from a plain ring. We designed a large statement ring, introducing these long baguette diamonds either side. It was a stunning piece of jewellery.
This pink heart sapphire and diamond ring, was re-designed from 7 varying sized brilliant diamonds from an old ring.
Our client wanted a statement piece, that needed to be very pretty whilst also having the WOW factor.
With our guidance, she chose a baby-pink, heart shaped sapphire, around which, we incorporated her old diamonds. We added a few extra stones to complete the design and embellished the shoulders with more tiny diamonds.
A perfect re-model using old jewellery.
At SHERRY JEWELLERY we understand the importance of sentimental value. We care deeply about, and respect the significance of jewellery given by loved ones, or inherited from previous generations. Re styling can sometimes be a sensitive subject with other family members. Providing it’s done in the right way, it can give your jewellery a new lease of life. It may just need a simple alteration, but whatever you choose, it’s a great way of retaining that sentimental value, whilst allowing you to wear a piece of jewellery that suits you. Like a new clothes or a new hair style, if you look good, you feel good!
Sentimental value is immeasurable and needs a thoughtful approach. Our service offers vital, sympathetic design expertise and care. Something that you shouldn’t leave to chance. SHERRY JEWELLERY does this type of work particularly well, and has done, for more than twenty eight years.
This white gold ring was created from two pieces of old jewellery. Our client wanted a simple, but unusual ring, which would make the most of the diamonds that she had available.
It was designed to be worn with other rings and was carefully designed to let a wedding band sit snugly up against it.
Whatever you decide to do, you can rest assured that we will listen to you and create you something that suits your needs exactly. We will pay attention to the things that matter to you, because we understand that your jewellery is precious in value and even more precious in sentiment.
