Commissioning, Customising, Caring For & Sizing Precious Pieces
Whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply treating yourself or a loved one, Rebecca can work with you to produce the perfect piece in several ways: customising an existing design, completely bespoke or repurposing heirloom jewellery.
Bespoke Commissions
Imagine owning a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery or silverware, crafted exclusively for you. Rebecca specializes in creating bespoke pieces that reflect your personal style and vision. Many clients are drawn to Rebecca's distinct designs and aesthetics but seek something uniquely tailored to them.
When you commission a custom piece, you're involved in every step of the process. It all begins with a conversation about your initial thoughts, designs, and ideas. This consultation can take place in person or online, making it convenient no matter where you are.
Rebecca will then develop finalized designs, carefully considering everything you've shared. If your piece requires gemstones, she will source a selection for you to view and choose from, ensuring every detail is perfect.
Once the design is finalized, Rebecca will begin crafting your truly unique piece. Whether it's an engagement ring, a special piece of jewellery, or a distinctive piece of silverware, you can be confident that the final result will be a reflection of your individual style and story.

Customising An Existing Design
Repurposing & Remodelling
Heirlooms
Transform Your Old Jewellery into Timeless New Creations.
Do you have jewellery that no longer fits your style or has been sitting unused for years? Perhaps you’ve inherited pieces with sentimental value, but they don’t quite match your taste. Instead of letting them gather dust, why not consider giving them a new life?
Repurpose and Reimagine-Turn your treasures into stunning contemporary pieces tailored to your taste. By repurposing the precious metals and gemstones from your old jewellery, you can create something truly unique and personal. Whether it's a modern twist on a classic design or a completely new piece, the possibilities are endless.
Recycling your jewellery is not just about creating something new. It's also about sustainability. Precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum can be refined and reused, reducing the need for mining new resources. Gemstones can be reset and given a fresh look. Plus, if you choose not to repurpose all of your materials, the leftover metal can be scrapped for money, giving you even more value.
You could even use inherited gold to create wedding rings, adding a meaningful touch to your special day. If you’re feeling creative, take a look at Rebecca's Recycling Gold workshops, where you can craft something unique yourself.
Your wedding rings are a symbol of your commitment, and Rebecca Oldfield is here to help you create bands that are as unique as your love story. Whether you’re looking for rings in silver, gold, or platinum, Rebecca offers a range of options to suit your style. Choose from a variety of finishes, from rustically brushed textures to perfectly polished surfaces, ensuring your wedding bands are exactly as you envision.
For an even more meaningful touch, Rebecca can incorporate heirloom metals into your wedding rings. By repurposing gold or other metals from cherished family pieces, you can carry a piece of your history with you as you start this new chapter together.
For a truly special experience, Rebecca also offers Make Your Own Wedding Ring Workshops. In these workshops, you and your partner can craft your rings together, adding a personal and memorable element to your big day.
Rebecca is also committed to sustainability and can produce wedding bands upon request that are of Single Mine Origin (SMO). This means that the gold used in your rings is traceable to a single mine that adheres to the highest social and environmental standards.
To start the journey toward your perfect wedding rings, please contact Rebecca to book a design consultation.
