Jewellery remodelling · Paton's Place

You don’t have to keep sentimental jewellery exactly as it is.

You can care about what a piece means and still not want to wear it as it is. If the design no longer works for you, we can look at what can be kept, what can change and what makes sense now.

Start with what you have
Remodelled gemstone and diamond ring by Paton's Place
A real remodel

It didn’t have to stay a brooch.

Sapphire and diamond brooch remodelled into a ring by Paton's Place

Same stones. Completely different way to wear them.

The original brooch was taken apart and the sapphire and diamonds were reset into a new ring.

We kept

The sapphire and diamonds.

We changed

The form, setting and overall design.

Before you decide

What does your jewellery actually need?

Repair

Fix what’s wrong. Keep the design.

For loose stones, worn claws, broken chains and other damage where the piece itself doesn’t need changing.

Restore

Remake the piece. Keep the original design.

For jewellery that needs to be remade, while keeping it as close as possible to the original.

Remodel

Keep what matters. Change the rest.

For jewellery you want to wear differently, using the stones or other usable parts as the starting point.

Still not sure? Send us a few photos and we’ll point you in the right direction.

How much can change?

A remodel can change one thing. Or almost everything.

We’ve changed a setting because it sat too high. We’ve also combined several rings into one new piece. How far a remodel goes depends on what you want to keep — and what you don’t.

01

Change what isn’t working

A setting can be lowered, simplified or rethought.

02

Bring several pieces together

Multiple rings can become one new design.

03

Keep the stones. Change the rest.

The finished piece can look completely different from where it started.

How we work

We understand what you’re trusting us with.

We know handing over jewellery that matters to you isn’t something people take lightly. Some pieces have been in your family for decades. Jewellery has been part of ours for four generations, and we treat every piece with the same care we’d expect for our own.

01

Show us the piece.

Send us a few clear photos, or bring the jewellery in for a consultation.

02

We look at what makes sense.

We’ll assess the piece, what can be kept, what needs attention and the options available to you.

03

We talk it through and quote the work.

We’ll explain what we recommend and provide a quote before anything goes ahead.

04

Once you approve, we get to work.

If you decide to go ahead, we begin the remodelling work based on the agreed direction.

Timing

Allow around 6–8 weeks from approval to completion.

Jewellery is made to be worn

If you’re not wearing it, it’s allowed to change.

We don’t want jewellery that matters to you spending the next twenty years in a drawer because the setting isn’t your style, the ring doesn’t fit your life, or you simply wouldn’t choose it for yourself.

The history doesn’t disappear because the jewellery changes.

Ready when you are

Have something sitting in a drawer?

Show us what you’ve got and we’ll take a look. Or, if you’d rather talk it through in person, book a remodelling consultation.
