Why remake old jewellery?
Jewellery is subject to many kinds of stresses in day-to-day usage, most notably, claws holding precious gems and bands wear thin over time. Repairs can remedy this for a time, but this cannot go on forever. Sometimes it is simply more practical to continue the life and significance of precious family gems by reconstructing – either in the original design or by creating a new, perhaps more contemporary piece.
