Give Your Old Scrap Gold a New Life

Scrap & Remodelling Service

Do you have broken or outdated gold jewellery tucked away in a drawer? A single earring, a worn-out chain, or a sentimental piece that no longer suits your style?

At Rebecca Oldfield Jewellery, I offer a personal, appointment-only scrap and remodelling service designed to help you make the most of your precious metals. Whether you want to release their value, create something new, or even make it yourself in a workshop—I’ll guide you every step of the way.

Part 1: Unlock the Value of Your Old Jewellery

My scrap service allows you to turn unwanted or broken gold into something of real value. Unlike typical jewellery stores, I work by appointment only, meaning you’ll never have to queue or feel rushed. You'll have a private, relaxed environment to explore your options—no pressure, no distractions.

How It Works

• Step 1: Private Assessment During your one-to-one studio appointment, I’ll test and weigh each item to determine its gold content and purity.

• Step 2: Valuation & Offer You’ll receive a clear, fair valuation based on current market rates—completely transparent and with no obligation.

• Step 3: Pay-out For UK-assayed items, same-day payments* are available.

  
  

Part 2: Remodelling — A Fresh Chapter for Sentimental Pieces

Not quite ready to let go of your gold? Many clients choose to remodel their existing pieces into something new and meaningful.

Whether it’s an inherited item with emotional value or simply a style that needs updating, I can rework your gold into a beautifully bespoke design you’ll be proud to wear.

Remodelling Highlights

• Sustainable and sentimental

• Keep the original gold and its story

• Work closely with me on design ideas

• We can even reuse gemstones and diamonds from your scrap items—either mixing them with new stones or replacing them as needed

  
  

Every remodel starts with a one-on-one consultation, where we explore your inspiration, style preferences, and what’s technically possible—all in a private, relaxed setting.

Client Examples

• A worn wedding ring transformed into a modern stacking trio

• An inherited bracelet reshaped into a contemporary pendant

• Family gold reimagined as a minimalist bangle

Part 3: Part Exchange — Blend Value with Creativity

Can’t decide between pay-out or a new piece? You don’t have to choose just one.

With part exchange, you can:

• Take part of your gold’s value as a pay-out

• Use the remainder towards a bespoke commission or remodel

• Even apply it to a jewellery-making workshop

It’s a flexible way to honour the past while investing in something new and exciting. I’ll work with you to find the best mix for your needs.

Part 4: Turn Your Scrap Gold Into a Hands-On Experience

For those wanting a deeper connection to their jewellery, I offer the opportunity to refine your gold and use it in a jewellery-making workshop.

This hands-on experience lets you craft your own ring, pendant, or keepsake in the studio using your own recycled gold. It’s sustainable, symbolic, and completely personal.

During your appointment, we’ll review what gold can be used, what refining may be needed, and how we can turn your metal into something handcrafted by you.

Every appointment is one-to-one, allowing us to focus on what’s right for you—whether that’s a pay-out, a redesign, or something handmade.

Sustainable. Circular. Considered.

Reusing precious metals isn’t just smart—it’s environmentally responsible. By choosing to repurpose or recycle your gold, you reduce the need for new mining and give old materials a second life. It’s a choice that’s both thoughtful and meaningful.
