Repurposing your jewellery
Sustainable design, crafted with meaning.
At Maya Magal London, we believe jewellery should never go to waste - or be left unworn.
Repurposing your jewellery is at the heart of our sustainable approach, allowing us to breathe new life into old pieces while honouring their story.
Whether it’s transforming a family heirloom, resetting sentimental gemstones, or melting down old solid gold and silver, our jewellers craft contemporary pieces that carry your history forward - made to be worn and loved every day.
Sustainable jewellery making
Recycled materials. Responsible craftsmanship.
Repurposing and upcycling jewellery is one of the most sustainable ways to create fine jewellery.
By working exclusively with 100% recycled solid gold and sterling silver, we reduce the demand for newly mined metals - lowering our carbon footprint and waste output. Our London workshops operate on a zero-waste model, where every off-cut is melted and reused.
We also give existing gemstones a second life, limiting the social and environmental impact of traditional mining.
Each bespoke creation and limited collection is a reflection of our belief that sustainability and craftsmanship belong together - timeless, meaningful, and made to last.
How the Repurposing Process Works
From heirloom to heirloom-in-the-making.
Your bespoke journey begins with a personal consultation - in person or virtual - with our Studio Design Manager. We’ll assess your existing jewellery, discuss your ideas, and refine your new design. Once approved, our jewellers melt down your precious metals, ready to be reshaped into a new form.
Your gemstones are carefully examined by our in-house artisans to ensure they are suitable for resetting. When possible, we re-set them into modern, bespoke designs that celebrate their character and story. If you don’t have stones to repurpose, we offer a curated selection of conflict-free, responsibly sourced gemstones to complement your design.
All pieces are crafted by hand in our London zero-waste workshops, using recycled gold, silver, and ethically sourced stones.
Old cut gemstones
Vintage character. Sustainable choice.
For those without heirloom stones, our old-cut gemstone collection offers an ethical alternative.
Sourced from trusted local suppliers, these rare, reclaimed stones feature distinctive facet patterns - each one entirely unique. From clear, colourless whites to vivid, richly toned gems, every stone tells its own story while reducing the environmental impact of new mining.
Choosing an old-cut gemstone means embracing craftsmanship of the past while contributing to a more sustainable future.
