We Love a Good Challenge!

One of the great things about having a work bench with all my tools in the store is that we can adjust almost any piece of jewellery so that it fits you perfectly; a bracelet can be shortened, a necklace can get a longer chain, perhaps you prefer an oxidized finish or maybe you would like the piece with a different gemstone? If it can be done, we’ll do it!

Some people come to us with an idea of something they would like for a gift or for themselves and we design the piece together. Others have already designed it and would like us to make it. And others already have the jewellery but would like to give it new life changing it into something else. You can see an example of this in the photos below.

Our client had a ring with a large stone, and wanted me to make it into a pendant. This is not a complicated task. The only thing tricky about it was that the stone was very thick with a peak back. I had to leave a great part of the original structure on the back of the ring, so the peak on the stone wouldn’t touch the skin when wearing the necklace…
