HEIRLOOM GOLD

As part of our sustainability practice, Catriona believes in reusing and repurposing what we already have and creating as little waste as possible, especially something as precious as gold. 

If you have old heirloom jewellery sat in a drawer that you know you’re never going to wear get in touch with us via email and we can discuss recycling the metal to make you something special. 

Feel free to send pictures to give us a rough idea of what you have. In order for us to fully inspect the piece (check for hallmarks, test and weigh the metal etc) it is best to post your jewellery via special delivery to our workshop. We can give you a no-obligation advice/quote and turn your old, unworn jewellery into a brand-new piece that will become its own precious heirloom. 

Please be aware that working with old gold can be inconsistent so we cannot guarantee the final finish, carat, colour or workability of your gold. Some designs will work better with old gold than others for example simple or textured/organic designs however we can guide you through this during the design process. 

Also, certain jewellery cannot be reworked due to varying alloys, plating and solders. In this instance we will let you know and we can discuss offsetting the cost of the metal to contribute towards a new piece of jewellery using our in-house recycled gold which we know has consistent working properties.
