What is the jewelry processing process?

Jewelry transformation is an art; a demanding and precise art that few jewelers can offer. This is a fascinating discipline for several reasons. First there is the technical aspect which arises directly from the know-how of the jeweler. There is also the economic aspect which allows us to take advantage of the assets of our jewelry box. The ecological side should not be neglected either since we recycle materials and recover precious stones. Obviously, there is the artistic approach which allows the jeweler to offer us beauty. But of these reasons, sentimental value is the most important of all. There is nothing mundane about the process of transforming an engagement ring or heirloom family jewelry . Transformation is a task that we entrust to people of integrity and trust who recognize the importance and meaning of our jewelry.

1. First, gather and sort through your collection of old jewelry. Dated pearl necklace , '60s earrings , grandpa's white gold signet ring; Nothing is lost, everything is transformed. You can't have your jewelry transformed if you don't do a good cleaning first. The excess gold could be credited to you on a possible submission.
2. Write down what you would most like to add to your jewelry box. A fashionable ring with beautiful precious stones? Custom jewelry for your special events? Why not treat yourself!
3. Create a realistic budget. Give yourself some breathing room. The price of transforming old jewelry varies depending on the precision and quantity of the work to be done. Transforming your old jewelry can cost between $200 and $1500. It could cost more if the job requires it.
4. Search on the internet or through your acquaintances for a jeweler or a jewelry store that specializes in transforming jewelry. Pay attention to good recommendations. Select a company that processes old jewelry on site. Avoid middlemen. You will save yourself a lot of trouble.
5. Make an appointment with the jeweler of your choice and ask for an hour or more to discuss all the options available to you. Generally speaking, the transformation concerns gold jewelry . The majority of jewelers offer this service free of charge with no obligation on your part.
6. Following this meeting, the jeweler offers you a cost estimate which requires your agreement. This is the case at the Flamme en rose jewelry store, a company specializing in the transformation and creation of custom jewelry . When the estimate is accepted and full payment made, the transformation of antique jewelry can then begin.
7. Follow the development of your jewelry transformation with sketches and 3D drawings. Sometimes you are offered photos of the stages of jewelry creation. Follow the file carefully to avoid surprises.
8. Visit your jeweler for the unveiling and the long-awaited fitting. From experience at Flamme en rose, this moment is full of strong emotions. Having your old jewelry transformed is a very symbolic gesture.
