From Treasured Past to Timeless Style: Transforming Old Gold into Handmade Bangles, Pendants & Rings
At Nowlan Jewellery Co., we believe that every piece of jewellery holds a story—and there’s something incredibly special about breathing new life into old gold. Whether it’s an inherited ring that no longer fits your style, broken chains gathering dust, or earrings missing their pair, we can transform your sentimental gold into something fresh, meaningful, and uniquely you.
Why Repurpose Old Gold?
There are many reasons people choose to reuse their existing gold:
Sentimental Value: Maybe it belonged to a loved one, or marked a milestone in your life. Repurposing allows you to honour those memories in a way that aligns with your current aesthetic.
Sustainability: Reworking your gold is an environmentally conscious way to avoid mining new materials.
Value: You already own the raw material—why not let it shine again?
What Can We Create?
Here are a few of the most popular styles we can handcraft from your old gold:
1. Handmade Bangles
Gold bangles are timeless and endlessly wearable. Whether you prefer a sleek, polished finish or a hammered texture, we can melt down your old gold and roll it into a custom-fit bangle. Stack them up or wear them solo for a minimalist statement.
2. Disc-Style Pendants
Simple yet meaningful, disc pendants are a beautiful way to carry your gold—and your memories—close to your heart. You can leave them plain, opt for a brushed or high-polish finish, or personalise them laser engraved initials, meaningful dates, or patterns.
3. Plain or Patterned Bands
Gold bands are versatile and elegant. From minimalist plain bands to textured or engraved patterns, we can tailor the design to suit your personality. These make lovely everyday rings, wedding bands, or stacking rings that tell your story.
The Process: From Heirloom to Handcrafted
When you bring your old gold to our Brendale workshop, we’ll take you through the whole journey:
Consultation – We’ll chat about the pieces you have and what you'd like to create.
Assessment & Melting – We assess and weigh your gold, and then melt it down in-house.
Design & Creation – Your new piece is handmade from scratch, ensuring it’s one-of-a-kind.
Finishing Touches – Polish, texture, engraving—it’s all up to you!
Let Your Gold Tell a New Story
It’s truly magical to see something old and forgotten turned into a piece you’ll treasure every day. Whether it’s for yourself or a gift for someone special, transforming your old gold into handmade jewellery is a beautiful way to honour the past while celebrating the present.
