The Jewellery Remake & Remodelling Process
We follow a clear and collaborative process to ensure your vision is realised with precision and care.
1. Consultation – Understanding Your Vision
Your journey begins with a personalised consultation at our Melbourne CBD studio. During this appointment, we:
- Listen to the story behind your jewellery
- Assess the structural condition of the piece
- Discuss your ideas, style preferences and lifestyle
- Explore design possibilities and practical considerations
We provide honest advice about what is structurally possible and whether a remodel or full remake is recommended.

Our designers translate your ideas into a tailored concept. This stage may include:
- Hand sketches or design concepts
- Stone placement planning
- Structural improvements to ensure longevity
- Metal and setting recommendations
We balance modern aesthetics with the preservation of sentimental elements, ensuring the new design is both beautiful and durable.
3. Handmade On-Site in Melbourne
Once approved, your piece is handmade by our experienced jewellers in our on-site Melbourne CBD workshop.
This stage may involve:
- Carefully removing and assessing existing gemstones
- Refining or melting down original metal (where appropriate)
- Handmaking a completely new setting

Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern precision techniques to ensure exceptional quality and durability.
4. Final Inspection & Presentation
Every piece undergoes thorough quality checks and finishing. We carefully inspect:
