KIND Recycle + Rework: Laura's

One of the biggest joys at KIND Collection is working closely with our customers to create special heirloom pieces that hold an infinite amount of sentimental value.

Earlier this year we had the pleasure of working closely with a lovely customer, Laura, and we are thrilled to be able to share her design and story on our journal today.

Laura had inherited an heirloom ring from her late grandmother – who had inherited the ring from her older sister, several years prior. It had been a piece that had been within the family for many years and had a lot of personality and story to tell.

Laura’s grandmother had passed away during the pandemic after working her whole life as a nurse for the NHS. She was remembered as a kind, strong woman, who gave everything to her community and helped others whenever possible.

Although Laura loved the meaning and value behind the ring, she knew it wasn’t quite her style – so she commissioned a redesign through KIND Recycle + Rework.

Using the entirety of the original ring (precious metals and diamonds), we worked closely with Laura to create a ring that reflected her style and taste, whilst bringing across the love and sentimental value that the ring carries.

The result was truly stunning. We kept the same outline as the original ring but created an open and infinite circle as a visual reminder of the constant generosity that her grandmother had for the community – and it is a nod to all the strong women that she had in her life as she was growing up.

It is a piece that she will cherish for her life, and pass down to her children later in life.

Last year we also had the pleasure of working with Laura on another bespoke piece that was created in celebration of her daughter. The visual mantra necklace was made from 100% recycled Rose Gold and featured an ethically mined diamond.

The pendant was designed with a sun, moon and a diamond star to represent the past, the present and the future. Laura wanted to create a piece that would represent the women who raised her and the daughter she will raise herself. Made to be worn close to her heart, this piece signifies the women in her life and is an incredibly powerful piece.

If you have inherited any jewellery that just isn’t your style, or if you would like to update a piece that you bought years ago, then we can work together to turn it into a design that will become embroidered into the story of your life.
