At Vandenbergs, we understand that jewellery is more than just an accessory; it’s a vessel of memories, a symbol of love, and a piece of history. Whether it’s a vintage brooch from your grandmother or an inherited ring that’s seen better days, these pieces hold sentimental value that transcends their physical form. That’s why we’re passionate about helping you breathe new life into your old or inherited jewellery through our expert restoration and redesign services.





The Art of Restoration


Restoring jewellery is a delicate process that requires a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of craftsmanship. At Vandenbergs, our skilled artisans are adept at bringing your treasured pieces back to their former glory. Here’s how we do it:

1. Assessment and Consultation: Every restoration project begins with a thorough assessment. We examine the piece to understand its condition, materials, and any specific challenges it may present. During this consultation, we also discuss your vision and any specific requests you might have.

2. Cleaning and Polishing: Over time, jewellery can accumulate dirt and lose its luster. Our team uses specialized techniques to clean and polish your pieces, ensuring they shine as brightly as the day they were made.

3. Repair and Replacement: Whether it’s a missing stone, a broken clasp, or a worn-out setting, our craftsmen are equipped to handle all types of repairs. We source high-quality materials to replace any missing or damaged components, ensuring a seamless match with the original design.

4. Preservation of Original Features: We understand the importance of maintaining the integrity of your heirloom. Our restoration process is designed to preserve the original features and craftsmanship that make your piece unique.

The Magic of Redesign

Sometimes, a piece of jewellery may not suit your style or needs, but that doesn’t mean it should be left unworn. Our redesign services offer a creative solution to transform your old or inherited jewellery into something new and exciting.

1. Creative Consultation: Our redesign process begins with a conversation. We want to understand your style, preferences, and the story behind the piece. This helps us create a design that resonates with you while honouring its history.

2. Design Exploration: Our talented designers will present you with a range of design options, from subtle modifications to complete transformations. Whether you want to turn a vintage necklace into a modern bracelet or combine several pieces into a statement ring, the possibilities are endless.

3. Crafting the New Design: Once you’ve chosen a design, our artisans get to work. We use state-of-the-art techniques and tools to craft your new piece, ensuring it meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.

4. A New Chapter: The result is a piece of jewellery that’s not only beautiful but also meaningful. It’s a new chapter in the life of your heirloom, ready to create new memories while preserving the old.
