Do you melt down old gold or silver so that I can use it for something new?

Yes, we can.

However it is a very common misconception that melting down inherited gold, silver or platinum will immediately make your new piece cheaper. Unfortunately, this is not the case. If your old jewellery is not hallmarked properly we have to get this done first to verify the quality. Then in order to keep your jewellery entirely separate from any other metal, it may get mixed with, it has to have its own casting cask. This is to ensure the integrity of your inherited metal. We then have to add extra metal for the casting process in order to make a solid piece.

The only reason for going through this process with your inherited jewellery is for sentimental reasons. We certainly understand that and we are happy to do it for you.
