Turn old into new: how to transform your gold jewelry into unique, one-of-a-kind pieces!

o you also have those old pieces of gold jewelry that are languishing somewhere in your jewelry box? Perhaps a single earring without its partner, a necklace that has seen better days or that ring that somehow never really suited your style? Don't worry, we have the perfect solution: melt it down and create something new!

Warum sollte man alten Goldschmuck einschmelzen?

Having old gold jewelry melted down is like giving your jewelry collection a makeover. You can turn your old, unused jewelry into beautiful, modern pieces that match your taste and style exactly. It's also sustainable and good for the environment - a plus point that should be important.

What can you do?

The possibilities are almost limitless! Here are a few ideas:

New ring made from old gold

Your old wedding ring or grandma's heirloom can be transformed into a brand new, modern ring. Perhaps set with a new stone or in a trendy design?

From necklace to bracelet

This chunky gold chain from the 80s can be melted down and transformed into a delicate bracelet. Or how about a stylish bangle?

Customised pendant

Have individual pendants made from your old jewelry - perfect for necklaces or bracelets. You can even have them personalised, for example with your initials or a special symbol.

Upcycling ear jewelry

New, trendy designs can be created from old earrings. Whether creoles, dangling earrings or studs - there are no limits to your imagination.

How does the melting process work?

You're probably wondering how the whole process works. It's simple: you take your old jewelry to a professional goldsmith. The goldsmith melts down the gold and shapes it into a new piece of jewelry according to your wishes. A bit like alchemy, only much cooler and without the mysterious formulae.

What should you pay attention to?

Gold quality

Not all gold is the same. There are different degrees of purity, the so-called karat numbers. The higher the carat value, the purer the gold. Talk to an expert about which gold you have and what can be made from it.

Design wishes

Think about exactly what you want in advance. A picture or sketch can help the goldsmith turn your vision into reality.

Costs and time

Melting down and redesigning your jewelry naturally costs a little. Ask for a quote beforehand and allow some time, as such work is not done overnight.
