Jewellery Recycling & Remodelling
Give Your Heirlooms a New Life
Forgotten, unloved or inherited jewellery holds memories - but style, taste, or life changes sometimes leave pieces gathering dust. At Thomas William Jewellery, based in Wokingham, we believe these items deserve better than the back of a drawer. With care and craftsmanship, we transform old or under-worn pieces into new jewellery you’ll treasure - meaningful, wearable, and uniquely yours.
Whether it’s melting down precious metals, re-setting stones, or reworking a broken heirloom into a modern design - we offer a creative, thoughtful way of honouring what was, while shaping what will be.
How It Works - Your Recycling Journey
Bring What You Have, Share Your Ideas
Gather your old rings, necklaces or inherited pieces — or simply come with a feeling of wanting to renew. If you’ve seen designs you love (in a magazine, online, or in conversation with friends), bring those too. Inspiration goes a long way.
We Listen, You Decide
Our process is collaborative and pressure-free. We’ll talk through what you’d like: perhaps a simple remodel, or a fully bespoke redesign. We help guide material choices, gemstone re-use, and design direction — before we begin metalwork.
Crafted with Skill and Respect
Using traditional goldsmithing techniques, we carefully melt, reshape, re-set or re-craft. Yellow gold, rose gold, white gold and platinum are all workable. (Note: certain transformations — for example yellow-to-white gold — may require additional steps; we’ll explain possibilities and limitations at consultation.)
Transparent & Flexible Budgeting
Before we begin, we’ll agree a price range with you — this helps define what’s possible in terms of design complexity, additional metal or stones. We ensure clarity — from your wardrobe drawer to a finished piece made to fit your style, budget, and life.
Why Recycle with Thomas William Jewellery?
Sustainable, Respectful & Circular
Recycling precious metals and gemstones reduces demand for new mining and gives existing treasures a second life. By reworking what already exists, you help support a more responsible, circular approach to jewellery - combining beauty with conscience.
Personal, Meaningful, One-Off Pieces
Rather than another mass-produced item, you end up with something unique - crafted around your story, your memories, and your design sensibilities. Old-world material, new-world design.
Expert Craftsmanship & Ethical Sensibility
Our workshop team handles every step with care, skill and respect for materials - ensuring that your new piece isn’t just beautiful, but enduring. We treat precious metals and stones with the reverence they deserve, and deliver work of lasting quality.
Ready to Reimagine Your Jewellery?
Bring your pieces - and your ideas - to our Wokingham showroom to begin the journey. Whether you’re after a subtle refresh or a full transformation, we’d be honoured to help you turn old treasures into new stories.
