Restoration & remodelling

Keep the meaning.
Renew the form.

Repairs, resetting and redesign are assessed case by case to preserve what matters while improving wearability and structure.

A considered second life

Repair, restore or reinterpret.

An older piece may need more than a simple repair. It may need a new setting, different proportions or a complete redesign around the elements worth preserving.

KimTiao assesses worn jewellery, damaged components, loose stones, outdated designs and pieces intended for remodelling. The safest and most appropriate approach depends on the condition, construction and materials of the original piece.

Repair assessment

Visible damage, wear points, joints, stone security and prior repair work are reviewed before action is recommended.

02

Resetting

Stones may be moved into a new setting where their condition, dimensions and structural requirements allow.

03

Remodelling

Selected elements can inspire a new piece that better suits the current wearer or intended use.

04

Metal considerations

Existing metal content and reusability are assessed; additional material may be required for a sound result.

Why inspection matters

Jewellery can conceal weakened joints, internal stress, previous soldering, worn settings and fragile stones. A visual inspection helps identify risks, but some conditions only become clear during disassembly or cleaning.

Not every element can be preserved unchanged

KimTiao will explain where design adjustments, replacement components or additional material may be needed to produce a secure and wearable result.

Care after completion

Maintenance guidance depends on the stone, metal, setting and frequency of wear. Periodic checks are advisable for pieces with exposed or frequently worn settings.

Private consultation

Let an important piece continue its story.

Bring an image, a sketch, an existing piece or simply an idea. We will discuss what is technically possible and shape a clear way forward.
