Giving new life to old gems
Restore your heirloom jewellery for a new look with vintage flair.
Many households have a precious box filled with beautiful necklaces, pendants, earrings and rings that have not been worn in years.
Often the jewellery contained within is simply old, in need of repair, or is old fashioned, having been passed down through generations.
‘The unfortunate thing is that often there are beautiful elements within these old pieces that are spectacular - and they are languishing at the bottom of a jewellery box, not seeing the light of day’ says Catherine.
The Catherine Best studios in Guernsey and Jersey are both able to help restore heirloom, heritage or older pieces of jewellery, either to their traditional form or by taking elements and creating something entirely fresh and new.
‘It is truly amazing what can be achieved with heirloom jewellery,’ says Catherine. ‘Often it is a matter of repairing or replacing particular parts within a piece. But the most exciting jewellery can emerge by recreating older jewellery in a new way - taking a stone from within the old piece and building a new surrounding for it, for example, to give it a new lease of life. It is wonderful to have a piece that was worn by a grandparent remodelled so it can be regularly worn by a grandchild.’
Why not take a look at your old jewellery collection and see what can be done to bring old pieces to life? Simply bring your selected pieces into your local Catherine Best showroom in Guernsey or Jersey, or alternatively, call ahead (01481 237771 in Guernsey or 01534 485777 in Jersey) to reserve an appointment with Catherine to discuss your requirements.
