Old to new
from old memories to new stories
Each piece of jewelry is created with care, calm and craftsmanship in focus.
At Signe Abrahamson Jewelry, we work to give new life to existing and old jewelry – either with a new meaning or a stronger story. Whether it's gold, diamonds, pearls or heirlooms, materials that no longer suit who you are today can be transformed into a new and personal piece of jewelry.
Some jewelry has been allowed to rest in the jewelry box over time, waiting for a new chapter. By taking as a starting point what already exists, unique jewelry is created, where sentimental value and history are preserved, while the design is shaped in close dialogue and given a new unique, personal expression - created especially for you.

Old to new
This is how the process works.
From conversation to finished jewelry
1. Your materials
You find your old jewelry – perhaps something that has been in the jewelry box for a long time.
Once the materials are gathered, you are ready to book a personal Old to New conversation , where we calmly and in dialogue look at what they can become.
2. Options and design
In the personal conversation, your old jewelry will be carefully reviewed - here we will talk about design, shapes and expressions depending on how your materials can best be reused in the new design.
3. The craft
Once the design has been determined, the piece of jewelry is carefully shaped in the workshop.
Here, work is done with calmness, precision and respect for the materials - and for the history they carry with them.
4. The finished piece of jewelry
A new, personal piece of jewelry is taking shape.
Created from your old gold, diamonds or pearls, according to your choice and your story - you now have a new unique piece of jewelry, made especially for you.
Recycling your jewelry
What options do I have?
Materials and remelting
Not all gold is suitable for remelting, which is why the process always starts with a professional assessment in the workshop. Here we look at the gold's purity, condition and any previous repairs to assess how the material can best be incorporated into a new piece of jewelry.
If the gold is not suitable for the desired design, we will find alternative solutions together - especially if the gold has personal meaning to you.
You don't need to know all the answers in advance, we guide you through the process.
Your gold can be transformed into many different types of jewelry – such as rings, pendants or earrings.
The options depend on the amount of gold, its quality and your wishes. Together we will find a solution that suits both the material and your style.

Gemstones and pearls are always carefully removed before the gold is melted down.
Often they can be reused in the new design - either in the same way as before or in a new interpretation.
The time frame depends on the complexity of the jewelry and the desired design.
As a starting point, a course typically takes between 3–6 weeks . If you have a special occasion, it is recommended to start well in advance and book your meeting today.
