However, styles change, and tastes evolve, leading many to consider remodelling old jewellery. At MDTdesign, we specialize in transforming your beloved pieces into modern masterpieces. This blog explores the benefits and process of remodelling old jewellery at MDTdesign, highlighting our commitment to craftsmanship and personalized service.
Remodelling old jewellery allows you to retain the sentimental value of your pieces while updating their style to reflect your current tastes. Whether it’s an heirloom or a gift, transforming old jewellery can breathe new life into items that may otherwise remain unworn.
• Preserve Sentimental Value: Keep the emotional significance of your jewellery intact while giving it a fresh look.
• Sustainable Choice: Repurposing existing materials is an eco-friendly option, reducing the need for new resources.
• Personalized Design: Create a piece that reflects your unique style and preferences.

The journey begins with a personalized consultation. Clients bring their old jewellery to MDTdesign, where our expert jewellers assess the pieces and discuss ideas for transformation. This collaborative process ensures that the final design aligns with your vision.
Based on the initial consultation, the client will browse our extensive collection of designs to seek inspiration, our designers will review any inspiration images- and combine elements of multiple designs in order to create the desired design.
We encourage clients to provide feedback, allowing for adjustments and refinements to achieve the perfect design. This step is crucial for ensuring that the new piece meets your expectations.
Choosing the right materials is essential for a successful remodel. Clients can decide whether to retain the original gemstones and metals or incorporate new elements. MDTdesign ensures that all materials are of the highest quality, ethically sourced, and suitable for the desired design. Our designers will assess the existing jewellery piece you would like remade and provide feedback on what they have to work with.
Once the design and materials are finalized, our skilled artisans meticulously handmade the new piece in our onsite jewellery workshop. This process combines traditional handmaking techniques with the utmost care and attentiveness, ensuring precision and attention to detail. The result is a beautifully transformed piece that retains its sentimental value.
The finished piece undergoes a thorough review to ensure it meets our high standards and the client’s expectations. Once approved, it is beautifully packaged and delivered, ready to be cherished anew.
Heirloom pieces often carry deep sentimental value but may be outdated in style. Remodelling old jewellery allows you to modernize these treasures while preserving their history and emotional significance.
Clients can merge elements from several pieces to create a single, cohesive design. This approach is ideal for those who have multiple items that they don’t wear but still hold sentimental value.
Using gemstones from outdated or damaged jewellery to create new designs is a popular option. This ensures that the stones continue to be appreciated and worn in a modern setting.
