Transformation

Tailor-made jewellery transformation – jewellery upcycling

Do you own fine jewellery that you no longer wear? A stone that you would like to integrate into a more modern jewel or have it mounted as an engagement ring by a jeweller in Paris? You don’t know what to do with some old broken jewellery, which has been sleeping at the bottom of your drawer for years? These are all opportunities to dare to transform jewellery, to offer you a tailor-made creation.

If these jewels no longer please us, we can invent a new life for them. (see ideas of jewels)

Here is an example of how a piece of jewellery can be transformed into a fine jewellery ring in Paris. The design was designed by Annette Girardon.

This ring is the result of a transformation by a Paris jeweller. The topaz, recovered from an old jewel, was mounted into a contemporary design ring. The gold will be recycled.

Good to know

We will look together to see if stones can be removed and mounted in a different way. Sometimes it is possible to integrate part of an old piece of jewellery into a modern one.

You can have your gold recycled, and reinvest the budget obtained afterwards. But we will not be able to re-melt the gold to use it directly, because it is forbidden in France. In order to guarantee the right alloy in new jewellery, old gold must go through a recycling process.

Sometimes, the stones, set in jewellery that has been worn, can be a little scratched or damaged. In this case, I suggest that you entrust them to a lapidary who will give them back their radiant appearance.

I am also at your disposal to advise you and look for a precious or fine stone, for a replacement in an old jewel or for a new creation.

To give you an order of magnitude of the budget to plan: The prices for a jewellery transformation are in most cases between 2000 and 4000 €.

Tailor-made “Rocher turqoise” ring

This black gold ring set with sapphires was designed for the turquoise that had belonged to my client’s grandmother.

Tailor-made jewellery transformation: This ring was made with the turquoise belonging to the client, in black gold.

“Galets” ring

My mission was to create a ring with the two diamonds taken from an antique ring. The new ring was to represent purity, serenity and empathy. The idea of a hot stone massage came to my mind. Thus was born this ring.

Example of jewelry transformation: The two diamonds were recovered on an old ring, in order to reassemble the stones on a new ring, created by the jeweller Annette Girardon.

The ring "galets" is an example of jewelry transformation. The diamonds, recovered from an old piece of jewellery, were remounted in a ring, created by the jeweller Annette Girardon in Paris.

Blue brooch

My client asked me to create a piece of jewelry using her old watch. It is now mounted as a brooch, like a military insignia, with lapis lazuli and diamonds.
