Melting down old gold
Craftsmanship and experience
Our goldsmith is happy to look at the old gold with you to determine what the possibilities are. Beautiful creations can be made with just a few grams. We determine the weight and can give an indication of the possible creations with this. We have many examples for this, but of course your own design is also possible. Any stones are removed from the jewelry before it is melted and can be used again as desired in the new design. Our goldsmith has a lot of experience in melting down and reusing old gold and likes to think creatively about the possibilities of creating a new, personal piece of jewelry.
Melting down old gold
Upcycling, sustainability, but above all personal
Reusing gold is an environmentally conscious and sustainable choice. Melting down existing gold reduces the need for new mining and reduces the carbon footprint of your jewelry. Moreover, you do not have to invest in gold when having a piece of jewelry made. Melting down and then processing the material for the jewelry is more labor intensive than using new gold. But, perhaps most important of all, you retain the sentimental value of the old gold. Our goldsmith is happy to make video footage of the melting down and subsequent processing, a nice reminder and proof of the use of your gold. You will always get any remaining gold back from us, or we will indicate what we could do with it for you. We often make a nugget from this leftover gold that can be worn as a pendant on a chain, for example.
