Ideas On Repurposed Vintage Jewelry

Filled under:

The trend for repurposing is very popular today and this applies to items of jewelry too. Just like clothes or shoes that sit in closets because they are out of date or do not fit, these items are being revived and given new life. Repurposed vintage jewelry is often quite unique and every woman deserves such a piece as part of her wardrobe.

Inherited pieces carry with them much sentimental value. However, pieces are meant to be worn and admired, not sit in a drawer. These pieces often contain valuable stones like diamonds. They may be made of old gold or silver. These elements can be used to create new pieces that the owner is proud to wear and serves as a constant reminder of the person who wore the original item.

People often end up with one partner of a set of earrings. These may contain valuable stones which can be used on a necklace or bracelet. Broaches are often made into amazing cocktail rings. Pieces from several broken items may be used to create one new piece, with a gold chain from one, some stones from another and a clasp from yet another.

Getting a jeweler to inspect and appraise a piece is important. Knowing the value of an item is essential before simply deciding to break it apart to create something new. A piece may have far more value in its original state, even if it is broken. A reputable jeweler who works regularly with heirloom items will be able to give valuable advice.

A jeweler will never use a component like a clasp that bears the name or tag of the original designer. They have too much respect for the original creator and do not want to use names that can cause confusion about value of a piece. No matter how lovely a particular component may be, it is has a name on the back, it is better not to use it.

The customer may have a very good idea of what is desired when it comes to design. If the design has not already been chosen, one can be recommended. The jeweler and customer may even use a ready made sketch and modify it or create a new one from scratch. This is easier if a good rapport is established.

It is possible to really love and wear heirloom pieces that are recreated to fit perfectly and reflect the style of the wearer. They are no longer just sitting in a box in a drawer but being used for the purpose for which they were intended for in the first place. Choosing a reputable jeweler helps to ensure that a piece not only preserves the best of its past but has current appeal too.

Making a wonderful new piece that is not only current but suits the style of the wearer is possible. The best of the past should be brought to the piece with the elements used as well. This means that wearing a piece like this can create a sense of nostalgia and bring back fond memories while at the same time offer style and modernity.
