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 Just like clothes or shoes that sit in closets because they are out of date or do not fit, these items are being revived and given new life.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.
Many people have inherited pieces from elderly relatives that they do not wear. These pieces often have sentimental value. It is wonderful if they can be given new life and worn once again as a constant reminder of the person who first wore them. Diamonds, pearls and old gold are all great elements to use in modern designs. These new creations often preserve the past but combine the elements in innovative ways to make them fit the style of the current wearer.
Stackable diamond bands and beautiful chandelier earrings are just some of the items being made. Old fashioned broaches are turned into stunning cocktail rings. Orphaned earrings are given a new lease of life on chains as necklaces or bracelets. Several broken pieces may be combined to create one new piece or a long string of pearls may be used to two shorter strings.
Some heirloom pieces are very valuable and this is why not just anyone should be allowed to work on them or give advice about what to do with them. There are jewelers who are well qualified to breathe life into these heirloom pieces. It is important for a reputable jeweler to inspect and appraise a piece.
A reputable jeweler who works with heirloom items will be able to inspect pieces and tell you whether they are worth using for a new piece or should rather be kept as is. He or she will also be able to give advice as to how the various elements could be used in a design.
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.
It is very important to know what you have before you decide to simply go ahead and break apart old pieces. There will be no reason for regret if the refurbishing is done correctly. In fact, when these items are used as the raw material of a new creation, they bring together the best of the past and present to create very special items that are worn stylishly with pride and bring back precious memories too.
