Do you own of jewellery that you no longer wear? Maybe it's inherited; out of date, damaged, or simply no longer suits you. Precious metals and gemstones are valuable and reusable, and often still have emotional significance for the owner.

Award winning designer Bill Hicks would be delighted to talk to you about renovating the piece, or transforming it into a more contemporary item of jewellery.

Make an appointment to come into our studio to discuss your ideas and Bill will sketch a design for your approval, prepare a quote, and hand craft a beautiful "new from old" piece that you will treasure for many, many years to come.

Two examples of this type of work can be seen on this page. One is a fascinating commission Bill recently completed for one of his clients. This multi-stone cocktail ring primarily consists of diamonds and emeralds, but also features, opals, sapphires, pearls and mother of pearl. The precious stones and pearls all came from a number of older pieces of jewellery that the client no longer wore. Bill really enjoyed working on this very open brief that required the new piece to be "flamboyant" and "out there", something that all concerned feel has been very successfully achieved.
