repair, restore, recycle
Rather than purchasing a brand new piece of jewelry, a great way to go a little green is to restore a worn piece of jewelry that you already own. Go ahead, pull an item out of that scary little drawer filled with broken rings, twisted earrings and that sorry, tangled mess of necklaces that just keeps growing and growing. Often all it takes is a thorough clean, polish and steam and voila...that favorite piece is restored back to its original grandeur. If, however, restoration just won't suffice and you're in need of repair as such ring resizing, re-tipping of pendant or ring prongs, chain repair, stone resetting or whatever...no problem, we do it all at the circle studio.
But what if you own a piece of jewelry that is beyond repair or restoration (or carries with it a little un-wanted emotional baggage), try removing the stones and recycling them into a new piece. Perhaps the small diamonds from an unworn ring, say, would make nice earrings for your daughter, a center stone might even work in a pendant for your Mom or sister, or try resetting the diamonds from an impractically designed ring into a clean, modern band for yourself. The possibilities are endless, so if you have ideas for a piece of jewelry or perhaps you've seen an item right here on circlejewelry.com into which you'd like to incorporate your own stones, please let us know, we'd only be too happy to accommodate. Dig that jewelry out of that drawer and repair, restore or recycle; believe me...you'll love giving those forgotten jewelry pieces a new life.
