Recycling jewellery is a great way to breathe new life into its design and wearability.
On the topic of heirloom jewellery pieces that have outdated designs, yet remain sentimentally significant:
"It’s important to find a jeweller that understands the significance of the piece. Some of the jewellery are outdated or impractical, but remain in the vault for sentimental reasons. But the right artisan will find a way to retain the sentiment within the design."
"When one of Ng’s clients wanted to repurpose four jade Peranakan hairpins and brooches inherited from her grandmother, Ng advised her to preserve the essence of the originals. “I explained that these antique designs were special, and a reminder of her grandmother,” Ng recalls. “So, instead of breaking everything down, we clustered them into a single brooch.”
