Remodel Your Jewellery

Jewellery often carries far more than just beauty — it holds memories, milestones, family history, and the people we love most.

Whether it is an inherited heirloom tucked away for years, a sentimental piece no longer suited to your style, or gemstones filled with meaning, remodelled jewellery allows those stories to continue in a new and wearable way.

Remodelling your old jewellery is one of the most exciting and gratifying things you can do with your treasured and sentimental pieces.

At Leskes Jewellers, we specialise in transforming unworn or outdated jewellery into something stunning, modern, and uniquely yours – all while preserving its emotional value. The result is jewellery that honours its history, reflects your personal style, and
can be worn, loved, and passed on for generations to come.

Reuse your Gold & Gemstones

Your existing jewellery holds more value than you might hink, especially with the price of gold these days!

We can incorporate your old gold and gemstones into your new design — preserving sentimental meaning while creating something completely
fresh and wearable. 

Whether it’s broken chains, unworn rings, or mismatched earrings, we carefully assess what can be reused and guide you through the possibilities.  It can also significantly reduce the overall cost of your remodel.

Highlights:

  • Reuse old gold and gemstones
  • Repurpose single or mismatched earrings
  • Retain sentimental value
  • Reduce overall project cost
  • Sustainably create something new

How it works

Our Remodelling Process

    Jewellery Redesign

    This is where the story of your jewellery redesign begins to evolve into something new.

    Working closely with you, we explore different design possibilities that honour the sentiment and history of the original piece while creating something that feels beautifully aligned with your personal style today. Some clients wish to preserve certain details exactly as they are, while others are ready to completely reimagine the piece into something entirely new and wearable.

    Through sketches, concept development, and CAD designs, we carefully refine the proportions, gemstone placement, settings, and overall feel of the piece. We often work through multiple design variations together, thoughtfully shaping every detail until it feels just right.

    Our goal is never simply to redesign jewellery — it is to preserve memories, emotion, and meaning, while creating a piece you will genuinely love wearing every day and proudly pass on for generations to come.

    Approval & Sign Off

    Once your design has been refined, we present the final concept for your approval. At this stage, you’ll have the opportunity to review every detail to ensure it perfectly reflects your vision. Once approved and signed off, we move forward with confidence into the creation process.

    Stone Selection

    If additional gemstones are needed — whether to replace lost stones, match existing diamonds, or complement an heirloom design — we carefully source options that are sympathetic to the original piece while enhancing its overall beauty and wearability.

    Older gemstones were often cut differently to modern stones, with unique proportions, hand-cut characteristics, and softer faceting styles that can be difficult to replicate today. We take great care in selecting stones that work harmoniously with the original jewellery, preserving its character, history, and authenticity wherever possible.

    With expert diamond grading and gemstone sourcing, every stone is thoughtfully chosen for its colour, cut, proportion, and overall balance within the final design.

    Melting & Refining Your Gold

    For many of our customers, keeping the original gold from a sentimental piece is an important part of your remodelling journey. Where suitable, we can melt and refine your existing gold so it can become part of the new design — allowing the history and emotional connection of the original piece to live on in a completely new form.

    Throughout the process, we carefully assess whether your existing gold is suitable for reuse, as older jewellery alloys and wear can sometimes affect durability. In some cases, we may recommend incorporating new metal to ensure the final piece is strong, wearable, and beautifully crafted for everyday life.

    Craftsmanship

    Once the design is finalised, gold melted and any gemstones sourced, your jewellery remake is carefully brought to life by one of our skilled jewellers who understand the importance of preserving both the beauty and sentiment behind your jewellery.

    Every detail is handled with exceptional care and precision — honouring the history of the original piece while transforming it into something beautifully wearable for today. Watching an heirloom or sentimental piece evolve into its next chapter is often one of the most meaningful parts of the journey.

    Presentation

    The final reveal is always incredibly special.

    To see a once unworn, inherited, or deeply sentimental piece transformed into something that can be worn, loved, and enjoyed again is often an emotional moment for our clients. Beautifully crafted and deeply personal, your remodelled piece carries both its history and its future — ready to create new memories for generations to come.
