Melting down your Old Gold
Recently I was asked for a price on a 2cm round engraving disc to have two little faces diamond etched on. This lady's sister has a silver one and she loves it so much she wanted one. As she only wears gold she of course wanted a gold one. Gold as everyone knows has become very expensive. I am fortunate enough to work with some amazing and talented jewellers and we are able to to melt down your old unworn or broken gold and have that made or put towards your new jewellery piece.
The Gold you have melted down can be either 9ct or 18ct gold of any colour. The idea of melting down and reusing gold really does save you allot of money and can also be very significant to people if you happen to use Gold that maybe you were given by a special loved one, maybe you no longer wear this jewellery but would wear it again as a memorial piece with their ashes safe inside. This I understand my sound upsetting to some, however I see it could be significant to others as the jewellery they melt down could be very special. I am always open to anything that may be meaningful to anyone.
What would need to happen is to weigh your old gold then in the process of manufacture you loose about 10% of the weight. This is sent to the manufacture where the gold is melted down and used to make your special piece of jewellery. I can get more gold added to your gold if it does not cover the weight needed for you special piece. The Gold added would be charged at that days gold price. Then a manufacturing fee is added this is 20% of the value of the gold sent by you, again based on the price of gold for that day. Sorry I can not quote a dollar value in this post at gold prices change daily. If you ever want this done via email I will be able to help you with a price.
The average weight of a solid gold memorial piece of jewellery is between 6 and 8 grams I can however have your jewellery made to most weights you would like.
Remember you do not pay for the gold you have sent me you are charged 20% of its value as a manufacturing fee only.
Ideas for jewellery that can be made are memorial jewellery pieces that come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The most popular shapes are round balls, Hearts both puff and slide and crosses. Please email me if you have a shape in mind you would like and we can have this handmade for you some shapes will require an extra charge if unusual as a template will need to be created. However using your old gold will still significantly help keep the cost to you down.
As well as memorial pendants for ashes and hair you could have flat engraving discs make that can have hand or footprints or a face diamond etched on.
Some Gold images and samples are below. If you like any of the styles on this blog that are sterling silver in the memorial jewellery range these are all available on request in solid gold.

Do the angel balls come in gold?
Hi Holly the Angel balls can come in Gold They are very expensive and are about $500 to $700 depending on the size. It comes down to the fact that to make them ring in Gold is difficult as gold is a different metal to Sterling sivler and it has a differnt sound. Email me if you need any other details. I can have the silver ones gold dipped and they last really well if you wear them outside your cloths. My email is sue@sueellasignatures.com.au
How beautiful Sue!
