INHERITED JEWELLERY REMODELLING

Inherited jewellery often carries stories that deserve to continue rather than remain hidden in a drawer. Whether working with family gold, inherited diamonds or treasured heirlooms, The Middle Green specialises in transforming existing jewellery into new pieces designed for everyday wear

Every commission is handcrafted by goldsmith Tom McDanielson, balancing respect for the original piece with thoughtful contemporary design.

HOW INHERITED JEWELLERY REMODELLING WORKS


  • Initial consultation
  • Assess inherited jewellery and gemstones
  • Explore design possibilities
  • Create sketches or models
  • Handmade in Wiltshire
  • Delivery and aftercare

Every inherited jewellery project is different. Some clients wish to preserve a particular stone, engraving or piece of family history, while others simply want to create something wearable from jewellery that would otherwise remain unworn.

PRESERVING THE STORY


Inherited jewellery often carries emotional value that goes far beyond the materials themselves.

Whether working with a parent’s wedding ring, a grandparent’s pendant or family diamonds passed through generations, the aim is to retain what matters while creating something that fits modern life.

The result is a piece that honours its history while continuing its story.

MAKING YOUR NEW PIECE


Once the design has been agreed, work begins in my Wiltshire workshop.

Existing gold may be reused where suitable, gemstones can be reset, and additional materials sourced where required.

Most inherited jewellery remodelling projects are completed within 4 to 6 weeks, depending on complexity.

Every piece is individually handmade, hallmarked where required and prepared for a lifetime of wear.

Using Your Own Gemstones

On projects where you’d like us to use your diamonds and gemstones, we understand how incredibly valuable these are to you and that having them redesigned can sometimes be a quite sensitive and daunting project.

However, with our skillset, knowledge and with your input, together we can create a new piece you can treasure for a lifetime.
