A NEW CHAPTER
Turn Unwanted Jewellery into Something You'll Love
It's surprising how many stories are tucked away in jewellery boxes. A ring that no longer fits, a broken chain that's never been repaired, or an inherited piece that's beautiful but doesn't quite feel like you.
While these pieces may no longer be worn, they still hold value and the potential for a new beginning.
At Lucia Goldsmiths, we love helping customers rediscover what's possible. Whether you'd like to exchange your unwanted jewellery for cash, use its value towards another piece from our collection, or transform precious metals into a bespoke design that's uniquely yours, we'll help you find the option that feels right for you.
Whatever you choose, you'll receive honest advice, transparent guidance and the personal care you'd expect from an artisan jeweller. Sometimes, all it takes is a fresh perspective to turn something forgotten into something truly treasured once again.
RESPONSIBLE CRAFTSMANSHIP
A Sustainable Approach to Jewellery
Some of the most meaningful pieces begin with jewellery that already has a story to tell.
An unworn ring, a broken bracelet or a necklace that's been tucked away for years can become the inspiration for something entirely new. Rather than letting precious metals and gemstones go to waste, we believe in uncovering their potential and giving them a new chapter.
Recycling your jewellery is not only a thoughtful and sustainable choice, it allows the beauty and craftsmanship of existing materials to live on in a different form. Whether it's transformed into a bespoke piece or exchanged towards something you'll wear and love, your jewellery continues its journey instead of being forgotten.
We believe beautiful materials should never go to waste. Through our jewellery recycling service, you can transform unwanted gold, silver and precious jewellery into something meaningful once again, whether that's a bespoke new creation, store credit towards another piece, or cash in exchange for your unwanted items.
DISCOVER THE POSSIBILITIES
Could Your Jewellery Be Given a New Beginning?
Many of the pieces our customers bring to us have been tucked away for years. Some no longer suit their style, others have been damaged over time, while some simply hold memories that deserve to be honoured in a different way.
Jewellery recycling could be the perfect option if you have:
- Broken or damaged jewellery.
- A single earring without its matching pair.
- Unworn gold or silver jewellery.
- Inherited pieces that don't quite feel like you.
- Rings, chains, bracelets or pendants you no longer wear.
- Jewellery you'd like to exchange towards something new.
If you're unsure whether your jewellery can be recycled, remodelled or exchanged, we'd be delighted to take a look. Together, we can explore the possibilities and help you decide on the option that feels right for you.

JEWELLERY RECYCLING GUIDANCE
Frequently Asked Questions.
Every commission is personal, but these are a few of the questions we are asked most often.
What types of jewellery can I recycle?
We accept many types of unwanted jewellery, including gold, silver and precious metal pieces. Whether it's broken, unworn or inherited, we're happy to assess your jewellery and discuss the options available.
Can I turn my old jewellery into a new piece?
Yes. One of our favourite things to do is transform existing jewellery into something you'll love wearing again. We can often reuse precious metals and, where suitable, incorporate your existing gemstones into a bespoke design.
Can I exchange my jewellery for cash?
Absolutely. If you no longer wish to keep your jewellery, we can offer a fair valuation and exchange suitable pieces for cash.
Can I use the value of my jewellery towards another piece?
Yes. If you've found something you love in our collection or would like to commission a bespoke piece, you can use the value of your unwanted jewellery as credit towards your new purchase.
What if I'm not sure what my jewellery is worth?
Don't worry. Bring your jewellery to our Summertown workshop, and we'll assess it for you. We'll explain your options clearly, so you can decide whether you'd like to recycle, remodel or exchange your jewellery.
Will recycling my jewellery affect its sentimental value?
Every piece is different. While some customers choose to exchange jewellery they no longer wear, others prefer to preserve its story by transforming it into a new design. We'll take the time to understand what the piece means to you and help you choose the option that feels right.
Do I need an appointment?
You're welcome to get in touch before visiting so we can arrange a convenient time to discuss your jewellery. We'll be happy to answer your questions and guide you through the possibilities with no obligation.
