​​Grey Pearl studio's redesign concept 

For our private customers
​Redesign is a treasured concept at Grey Pearl studio; we give new life to broken or outdated pieces. With your own old pearls or beads we create a unique, new Grey Pearl chain bracelet. 

Old pieces - personal stories
A broken or outdated piece may hold both emotional and material value. Reusing old material creates unique jewellery with your personal story.

​Rethink, rearrang and redesign for fresh look
​Even a treasured old piece of jewellery unfit for use in its present state can get a new life. Let us re-find the charm of your old piece; we'll lend you our eyes for a fresh look, and our hands to rework the rejected.
​
​Difficult is good! 
​Grey Pearl particularly welcomes the "difficult" customer. 
In fact, a demanding customer is regarded as a great source for inspiration and learning.
​We'll even encourage you to be a little bit difficult, for the sake of progress and new and better thinking!

Private customer tips

New life for the old heirloom brooch:
The simplicity of Coco Chains works nicely with old fashioned intricate pieces. Take that old heirloom brooch, atractive but awkward and never used.

Combining it with a custom designed two-strand Coco Chain is a simple and fresh solution. With careful  planning the old brooch can become the unique detail that turns your Coco Chain into a stunning one of-a-kind piece.

How redesign works
​

Show us what's in your jewellery box! 
​Re-design means reusing and reworking your own dated pearl or bead jewellery to create something new. 
​
1) Send a photo of the material and a word about your intentions.
Don't worry if you have no clear idea yet, we'll help with that. You'll get sketches or photos to choose from before you decide to go ahead.

2) Pick an idea. Based on it you'll get a quote, then you decide whether to proceed. 

3) When written agreement is in place and all is clear, work's started.

4) Change of mind? Even after receiving the finished piece there's still a way out: Choose one piece, or more, from any collection for the equivalent of the quote. In that case, we'll keep the reworked piece and are free to sell it at any price. 

5) Valuable material? If your personal material happens to have a very high value we'll have to be creative and work out a solution we're both ok with. In any case, with good ground work it should be avoidable!

​Good to know!
  • After redesigning an outdated pearl piece happy customers have enjoyed wearing pearls again.​
  • You will be followed up with sketches and photos all along the process. 
  • You can stop the process up until a quote is accepted by written agreement (email).

GOOD TO KNOW
For a good collaboration it helps to know each other. A few points: Our background  is design focused. ​Grey Pearl prototypes are skilfully hand-made, but not by goldsmiths.
​To illustrate a design we use photos and drawings or bead up a little test. The site gives an idea of how we work and what we value, both professionally and personally. ​
