Do you have a piece of jewellery that means the world to you, but no longer suits your style, or has worn thin over the years? Instead of leaving it in a drawer, we can turn it into something you will wear every day.

At Breathe, we can use the silver or gold from your old jewellery to make a brand new piece, and reset your stones in a new design. Nothing is wasted, and the story of the original goes with it.

What we can repurpose

• Inherited or handed-down rings, pendants, earrings and bracelets
• Broken or unworn silver and gold jewellery
• Loose stones and gemstones you would like set again
• Several old pieces combined into one new piece

We assess every piece individually before we agree a design, so we can tell you honestly what can be reused and how.

A recent example

A customer was handed down a ring that is 103 years old. Over the decades the silver had worn very thin. We are removing the stone and setting it in a new setting, then using the old silver to create the band of the new ring she wanted. The result is a new piece made from the old one.

How it works

1. Get in touch. Tell us about your piece and what you would like it to become. You can post your jewellery to us or bring it to us in person at one of our market days.
2. We assess it and design together. We look at the metal and stones, then agree a design with you before any work begins.
3. We make it. Your stone is reset and your old silver or gold is reworked by hand into the new piece.
4. It comes home. We finish your new piece by hand and return it to you.

Pricing and timescale

Every repurposed piece is different, so we price it once we have agreed the redesign together. Depending on the design, a piece can take 4 to 6 weeks to create.

To start, fill in the form below and tell us a little about your piece and what you have in mind. You can also email us at hello@breathejewelleryuk.co.uk.
