# How to Recycle Jewellery?

### **How to Recycle Jewellery: A Sustainable Way to Renew Old Gold and Heirlooms**

If you have broken, outdated, or unworn pieces in your jewellery box, now is the perfect time to explore how to **recycle jewellery**, turning old treasures into something new, meaningful, and wearable. At **PureJewels**, we offer expert jewellery recycling in London, helping clients make the most of their gold, gemstones, and sentimental pieces.

#### **What Does It Mean to Recycle Jewellery?**

Recycling jewellery involves repurposing precious materials—such as **22ct gold, diamonds, or gemstones**- from existing pieces. You can either sell your jewellery for its gold value or choose to redesign it into something more modern or personal.

### **How to Recycle Jewellery with PureJewels**

#### 1. **Identify Pieces to Recycle**

Sort through rings, necklaces, bangles, or earrings that are damaged, mismatched, or no longer reflect your style. Even scrap gold or single items can hold value.

#### 2. **Free Gold Testing and Valuation**

Bring your items to our showroom, where we offer **free gold testing** and instant valuation based on live gold rates. Our in-house experts use precise tools (including XRF technology) to assess purity and weight.

#### 3. **Choose to Redeem or Redesign**

You can choose to:

- **Recycle jewellery for cash** (with same-day bank transfer)
- **Upcycle your jewellery** into a bespoke design—such as transforming a ring into a pendant or combining multiple items into a new creation

#### 4. **Enjoy Hallmarked, Sustainable Luxury**

Every redesigned piece is crafted by our master artisans and **hallmarked by the London Assay Office**. Recycling jewellery with PureJewels is not only eco-conscious, but also a way to preserve legacy through thoughtful craftsmanship.

### **Why Recycle Jewellery?**
