Custom & Remodelling Jewellery
Have you got jewellery sitting your jewellery box that has not seen the light of day in years? Or inherited a piece that doesn't quite suit your current style?
Why not repurpose it and create some new that can be handed down to the next generation!
I absolutely love remodelling jewellery and creating custom pieces especially engagement and wedding rings. Imagine proposing on your favourite beach and sending me the sand to create your wedding rings? or perhaps your lost a loved one who loved the beach so you send me their ash's and sand to create a unique textured memorial ring or pendant.
How can you personalise and add sentimental value to your jewellery?
Sand from a sentimental location
Ashes from loved ones or pets
Birthstones
Remodelling sentimental, heirloom, unworn or broken jewellery
Collecting a shell and sending it to me to use as a mould and cast it into a pendant or ring (This can work with any small hard object such as buttons, shells, twigs etc)
How much does it cost?
As each item is carved from wax before casting and it all depends on the weight of the item so it is hard to tell, however, when you send me the rough measurements of the item I can give you an approximate quote until the item is carved. This also gives me the ability to make the item heavier (more expensive) or lighter (less expensive) to fit your budget.
Custom orders start at $500 for silver and $1200 for gold.
Bespoke Jewellery starts at $650 for sterling silver and $1500 for gold
Remodelling jewellery starts at $750 - price will go up if additional metal needs to be added. If there is any metal left over there is the option to sell the remaining amount or it can be sent back with the finished piece.
Sand casting a shell or small object starts at $350
Price increases on complexity of design, stone setting and materials used.
What is the difference between custom and bespoke jewellery?
Custom jewellery is a custom version of a design that is already offered with minor tweaks such as band width, shape, gemstone etc you will be shown 2 versions of the new design.
Bespoke jewellery is a completely new design, this involves quite a bit of time designing, creating a new wax model and sourcing gemstones. You will be shown multiple versions until you are happy with the final design.
For bespoke pieces I encourage sending inspiration pictures and your own drawings of what you want the piece to look like. Please note I will not copy another artist or jewellers work.
With both custom and bespoke jewellery you will be heavily involved in the design process throughout the whole process with photo and video updates. I
What happens after form is submitted?
You can expect to hear back from me within 5 business days with some more information and a rough quote. If you would like to proceed a $500 deposit will be required in order to lock in your spot so I can begin carving the item and ordering materials.
How long will it take?
The current turn around time is between 3-8 weeks depending on materials required, complexity of the piece and etc.

"For a while I have been wanting to turn my Grandads ashes into something really meaningful.A few months back I finally found the right person to that, I fell in love with Nadine’s work at the Renegade Markets & knew instantly she was the right person for the job, when I saw her beautifully hand crafted jewellery. I saw her shoreline collection, which represented the ocean and sand. This was fitting for me because my Grandad took me to the beach every summer holiday when I was a child. I had some old jewellery & the gemstone (& of course Grandads ashes) I wanted to use. Nadine has brought my vision to life. I now have a bit of him everywhere I go, in this ring - imprinted, the way he imprinted me & my life.Nadine I am so thankful I met you and what you have created for me is truly more than I could ever imagine. Thank you so so much. I am forever grateful & I cannot highly recommend enough if I tried.This ring is half white gold & half yellow gold. The gemstone is an Aquamarine, my Grandad’s birthstone.
