Why Re-Modelling Your Old Jewellery Is the Smartest (and Most Sentimental) Move You Can Make
Turn your unworn gold into stunning new statement pieces with Leskes Jewellers — from bold rings and bangles to one-of-a-kind pendants. Discover why re-using your old jewellery is the most valuable, sustainable, and meaningful way to create something new.
Let’s Be Honest — We All Have Pieces That Just Sit There
The bangle you never wear anymore.
The chunky 90s ring that doesn’t quite fit your style now.
That pendant you loved once but haven’t touched in years.
They might be hiding in your jewellery box, but what they’re really doing is holding potential — real gold, real value, and real memories just waiting to be transformed.
At Leskes Jewellers, we believe in giving those forgotten treasures new life. Re-modelling your old jewellery isn’t just a trend — it’s a smart, sustainable and deeply sentimental choice that makes perfect sense for today’s woman (and man) who loves luxury with meaning.
Why It Makes Sense to Remodel
Gold is one of the few things that never loses its value — but style and taste evolve.
So instead of letting your pieces gather dust, you can:
- Unlock hidden value: Gold prices are at record highs, meaning your old pieces are worth more than ever.
- Save money: Re-using your own gold reduces the cost of a new custom piece dramatically.
- Reduce waste: Sustainability never looked so beautiful — melting down your gold means less mining, less waste, and more meaning.
- Add sentimental weight: Keep the story, update the style. Whether it’s grandma’s chain or a pendant from an old chapter, we can weave its energy into something you’ll love wearing again.
The Most Value-Driven Pieces to Remodel
If you’re wondering what’s worth bringing in, here’s where the magic lies:
✨ Bangles — solid, heavy gold equals serious melt value.
✨ Bold or puff rings — perfect candidates for remodelling into statement signets, or sleek diamond bands.
✨ Pendants — transform single pendants into modern charms, medallions or centrepieces for custom necklaces.
✨ Old chains — brilliant for melting down and re-using in new designs or adding texture to contemporary pieces.
✨ Earrings — especially single or mismatched ones — can be reborn into delicate stacking rings or gem-set details.
Even small bits and broken pieces add up — and at Leskes, we’ll assess every gram of your gold and design something extraordinary from it.
From Old Gold to Statement Gold
Remodelling is your chance to create something unique — a one-off piece that’s completely yours. Whether you’re dreaming of a chunky gold cuff, diamond-set cocktail ring, or a minimalist everyday pendant, our designers will work with you to create a new chapter for your old story.
And for the romantics? It’s the ultimate something old and something new — all in one.

Hot Tip for Young Couples
If you’re planning an engagement or wedding, here’s a secret worth sharing —
Ask your parents or grandparents for gold.
Old rings, bracelets, or chains can be melted down to create your wedding bands. It’s not only cost-smart (with gold prices where they are, it’s a win) — it’s deeply symbolic. You’re literally carrying generations of love into your marriage.
We call that full-circle magic.
