What is the process of jewellery transformation?

The transformation of jewellery is an art; a demanding and precise art that few jewellers can offer. It is a fascinating discipline for many reasons. First of all, there is the technical aspect that stems directly from the jeweller's know-how. There is also the economic aspect, which allows us to take advantage of the assets of our jewelry chest. The ecological side is not to be neglected either since we recycle materials and recover precious stones.However, the sentimental value is the most important of all. Transformation is a task entrusted to people of integrity who recognize the importance and significance of our jewellery.
