Jewellery transformation, a great way to honor our loved ones that we have lost

The famous Irish writer Oscar Wilde wrote: "These days, you survive everything but death. Indeed, medicine and science have been working for a long time to delay death as long as possible, but no one has yet escaped it. This is what makes life so precious and why we should enjoy it every day. Why should we want to live forever? "Eternity is a long time, especially towards the end, as Woody Allen, the well-known American screenwriter, put it so well.

In the Christian tradition, November 2nd has been on the calendar as the feast of the dead for over 1000 years. Originally a pagan holiday, it is now celebrated all over the world and especially in Mexico with very joyful practices. ( Dia de los muertos ) Mexicans go to the cemeteries with offerings of food, alcohol, sweets, and music according to the tastes of the deceased they want to honour. We suggest that you watch the excellent animated film Coco (Disney/Pixar 2017) which shows the extent and importance of this celebration for Mexicans. While in Quebec this holiday is celebrated more soberly, it is no less important. Out of respect for their deceased loved ones, many take the opportunity to visit the cemetery and decorate the grave with flowers. Some pray, others bring out old photos to bring back memories. Even though most of us are no longer regular visitors to the church pews, the faith in an afterlife is still very much alive.

When a loved one dies, we often receive a material inheritance from their time on earth. This can be in the form of money (always nice!), property (even nicer!) and maybe even jewelry (very interesting!). If these are no longer in fashion, they still have a sentimental value and we don't want to part with them. And if we think about it, the resale value is not interesting at all and to monetize the metals seems disrespectful to those who left them to us. Usually, these jewels end up sleeping in a safe deposit box. A unique solution exists to honor this legacy from heaven. Thanks to a physical and artistic transformation, jewelry that was gathering dust can quickly become the centerpiece of your jewelry box and the jewel of your most beautiful evening outfits. Jewelry transformation is still not well known, but it is a logical way to keep a legacy alive. Imagine someone complimenting you on a ring or pendant that has been transformed. You'll be even happier to tell them about the origins of your jewelry.
