Reusing old gold and silver – have a new piece of jewelry made from your heirlooms

Have you inherited a piece of jewelry that means a lot, but doesn't suit your style? Maybe you have an old gold ring that's too big, or a brooch that's been sitting unused in your jewelry box? At Arven, you can give new life to your beloved possessions – without melting them down.

Redesign with care and respect for history

Instead of remelting, Arven offers a careful and gentle redesign process where the original piece of jewelry is preserved and given a new shape. This allows you to retain both the material value and the sentimental attachment to your heirlooms, while giving you a piece of jewelry that you will love and wear a lot. Maybe a large gold ring can become a beautiful heart pendant with a small diamond in the middle? Or an old silver brooch can become a beautiful ring that fits perfectly with today's style?

Tailor-made solutions from skilled jewelers

All our redesign projects are done in our workshop in Bergen by experienced goldsmiths and silversmiths. Here, modern aesthetics are combined with classic techniques, so that the result is a piece of jewelry that both feels new and carries a story. We work closely with you to understand your wishes and needs, and together we find a solution that suits your style and your budget.

A sustainable and personal choice

By redesigning existing jewelry, you also contribute to a more sustainable consumer culture. You avoid new mining and save resources, while getting a completely unique piece of jewelry – created just for you. This makes redesign a perfect solution for those who want to combine environmental concerns with personal style and lasting values.

Heirloom jewelry becomes new favorites

There is something extra special about wearing a piece of jewelry that once belonged to someone you love. Through redesign, your heirloom jewelry can become new favorites that you wear with pride – for everyday use or on special occasions. A personal piece of jewelry with a strong history often becomes the most valuable piece in a jewelry collection.
