Can you use my gold to make a new piece of jewellery?
Occasionally we can make simple items from family gold if it is extremely important to you. Usually the motivation in such a case is sentimental because using family gold is labor intensive and often costs more than a new wedding band. Most designs require specific alloys and fabrication methods. Due the cost of refining, processing, and alloying, using “old gold” to make a new piece of jewellery rarely leads to savings. Also, it will not be karat-stamped, as we cannot be sure of its exact gold content. Usually people choose to turn in their “old gold” and earn credit towards their new purchase.
