Remodel your heirloom gold
Regular price £470.00If ordering from outside the UK, please contact us first so we can arrange a courier to collect your materials.
We can remodel your heirloom gold into a beautiful new ring through our unique method of sandcasting in beach sand.
It not only ensures that we are reducing our own effect on the mining industry and its impact on the environment, but also allows you to recreate a beloved piece of jewellery in a new and personal design.
The rustic and irregular nature of our sandcast range comes from Justin's own technique; as the name suggests, each ring is cast in beach sand. With a different mould used each time, every ring is unique - make it that little bit more special by sending us your own sand or picking one from our collection.
That sounds great - but where do I start?
1. Browse through our shop. Think about the width and profile you like.
2. Weigh your gold. We never know exactly how much gold we will need to cast a ring until we have made your wax, but here's a generous *rough idea* of the amount of 9ct gold needed for the following width rings:
2mm - 3g
3mm - 4.5g
4mm - 6g
5mm - 8g
6mm - 10g
7mm - 13g
8mm - 15g
9mm - 18g
10mm - 22g
If you don't quite have enough gold, we can top it up for you. Please contact us first as metal prices vary.
3. Post your metal to us, and you can expect your new ring to be made in 4–6 weeks.
If you have any gemstones or would like to incorporate any gemstones into a design, please don't hesitate to get in touch first, as this changes the price due to the work involved.

We will test your materials to the best of our ability but without sending all items to be used away to laboratories for extensive testing, we can only give an indication of what we believe your item to be composed of. Jewellery can be plated with higher carats of gold than the piece is made from and in some cases can be made from unusual alloys, which may mean that we are unable to use your heirloom materials effectively.
