AROUND TOWN
Keeping the memories alive for an Infinity
Heirloom jewellery passed through generations is often meaningful pieces shining with sentiment.
While precious, they sometimes need a new lease of life to create something wearable for modern tastes and purposes. If you have inherited jewellery or want to pass on your own items, Infinity Jewellers can carry on the story for generations to come with their unique, trademarked Re-Born service.
more contemporary with just a slight remodelling.
Carefully detaching the beautiful three-stone ring head, this was then placed onto a new platinum shank which was sized to fit the lady, with any remaining gold filed away.
The beauty of an inherited piece can bring back memories of a loved one who once wore it, but it may not be perfect for its new owner. For one lady, she inherited her mother’s wedding and engagement rings after she sadly passed away which were both too small to wear.
“She was only tiny my mum so they didn’t fit me. I could have just
continued to leave them in the safe
but I wanted something
to wear,” she says.
After reading about Infinity Jewellers in Aroundtown, she approached them to see what they could do, with Jonathan and the team advising the sapphire engagement ring could be made
What was left was a modern version of her mother’s original engagement ring. The goldsmiths also resized the wedding band so that she could wear it on her little finger. The lady could now remember the love her parents shared throughout their marriage with rings she could wear daily. “The team explained everything throughout the process and kept me fully informed. I even received a booklet at the end detailing every step.
“It’s something I’ve always wanted and now I have my mum with me all the time. It was definitely worth the journey from Rotherham.”
Sometimes, you don’t want to wait until the inevitable to pass down sentimental jewellery, wishing to share its memories while still together.

things to. With the help of Infinity, the lady was able to create three identical, modern and discrete pendants from the metal inspired by a design she liked in store. “My family didn’t want me to use my own ring as then I wouldn’t have a wedding ring to wear. But I have my husband’s that I still wear and they now have mine,” she says.
Melting the gold ring down, the goldsmith created three hand-cut hearts from the gold which were placed in a contemporary white gold setting.
The custom-made pieces were gifted with an individual booklet for each child, aged five, three and ten months.
“One of their mums said the perfect ending was the keepsake booklet which made her cry. I totally adore the girls and know they will appreciate the story when they’re older, they’ll know all about me.
“My friend in Canada saw what Jonathan has done and said it was a beautiful idea and something she now wanted to do for her own family.”
After seeing another customer in the shop talking about their bespoke Re-born project, the lady asked if they could do something with her gold wedding band, too.
