Remodelling your jewellery is a great way to keep the meaning and sentimental value of a piece alive while reimagining it into something you will love wearing. Our expert designers will collaborate closely with you to create a new piece that respects memories embedded in the original piece while bringing something meaningful and new to the story. Handcrafted on-site at our Wellington workshop, you will be involved in the entire remodelling journey. Remodelling a piece of jewellery usually takes between 6-8 weeks.
Please note we do not set or reset any jewellery with synthetic lab grown diamonds - learn why. In instances where we have any doubt about a diamondās ethical sourcing or the quality or integrity of a gemstone such as with loose stones (even certified), we will be unable to move forward with a project.
