Redesigning Old Jewelry: From Unused Heirloom to Your New Favorite

Give your jewelry new life

Maybe you have an inherited piece of jewelry lying in a drawer? Maybe a gold ring that doesn't quite fit, or a pendant that's not your style...

Many of us have such jewelry lying around – full of memories, and often very valuable, but forgotten in everyday life. We believe that these treasures deserve better. That's why we help our customers redesign and give new life to their old jewelry, so that it can be worn and loved again – in a new form.

How redesign works at Arven

Redesign is often about more than just “fixing” something. It is a creative and personal process where we create a piece of jewelry together with you that suits your style and needs – often based on what you already have and love. Our jewelers in Bergen have extensive experience in redesigning everything from inherited rings and chains, to old cufflinks and lockets. We take the metal and any stones as a starting point, and design something new with you – maybe an inherited wedding ring becomes a pendant that you can’t wait to wear!

We work closely with you throughout the process, ensuring that everything is handled with respect for the original's value – both emotional and material.

Sustainable and meaningful jewelry design

Redesigning an old piece of jewelry is also a sustainable choice. Instead of throwing away old and buying new, you use what you already have – saving both the environment and valuable resources. At Arven, we use recycled gold and silver in our production, and when we redesign old jewelry, the result is far more personal than a new mass-produced piece of jewelry.

A piece of jewelry made from old gold or silver is not only beautiful – it also has depth and history. It carries with it memories, while also taking on new expression and meaning.

When is it appropriate to choose redesign?

Redesign is perfect for:

• Heirlooms you don't use as they are today

• Jewelry that is worn or damaged
  
• Jewelry in an outdated style

• Combining several pieces of jewelry into one new one

• Those who want something completely unique with personal value
  

Many people also choose to redesign jewelry as a gift – for example, a ring made from a parent's old piece of jewelry, for a wedding or confirmation. It gives the gift extra depth and sentimentality.
