Our Process
Melting sentimental gold into new pieces is a very specialized process and we're so honored to offer this service at our NYC studio. First, your gold will be tested for purity and weighed to make sure we have the materials needed to create your piece. Then it will be melted into an ingot in our studio. If additional gold is needed, we add gold casting grain of the correct alloy at this stage. The ingot is then melted and poured into the flask when your ring is cast. The alloy of the gold provided may slightly impact the final color of your piece. Each ring is completed using time honored finishing techniques in our studio including hand polishing.

Heirloom Gold FAQs
What kinds of gold can be melted for jewelry?
Plain gold bands, ingots, and pure gold coins are ideal for melting because they tend to contain few impurities. Most fine jewelry in 14k, 18k, 22k, or 24k can be worked with, though we may need to remove small sections of solder in some cases. Chain is not ideal because typically there are too many solder points. When you place your order, we can review the gold you'd like to use and help you to assess which items are best.
Can you make this piece without heirloom gold?
Yes! We can provide gold for this piece. Please let us know when you place your order and we can adjust your pricing accordingly.
Are customizations possible?
Yes, we can add diamond settings, gemstones, engravings, and other customizations to most of our designs.
