Remelting gold and silver into new jewelry
At Guldsmed Heindorf in Copenhagen, we offer a gold and silver recycling service to give your jewelry a new lease on life. Instead of letting heirlooms or worn-out jewelry sit in a drawer, we can transform the materials into unique, personalized pieces that suit your current style.
From old jewelry to new stories
Secret symbols, private memories, and innermost desires. Everything you hold close to your heart can be transformed into new, unique pieces of jewelry with the help of a goldsmith.
You can be part of the exciting design process and watch your dream piece of jewelry come to life in our workshop at Gothersgade 105. If you have parts from a cherished heirloom, they can be incorporated into your new piece. Together, we can create something that is 100% you and 100% unique.
Materials we work with
When we melt down jewelry, we can both reuse and supplement materials. We work with a wide range of options:
Precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, and palladium
Precious stones: diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald, spinel, aquamarine, tourmaline, and others.
Pearls: Tahitian, South Sea, freshwater, Cortez, and others
Other materials: precious coral, mahogany, glass, and more
You can choose to reuse stones and beads from old jewelry—or add new materials from our selection.
Design options
When you choose remelting, the design can take many forms:
A style from our collections
A completely unique and personalized design
Your own design or vision, which we bring to life in our workshop
A spiritual piece of jewelry created from inner symbols and energy
We also do a lot of remelting, where materials are transformed into new wedding rings —a beautiful way to carry the family’s history forward into a new chapter.
The Art of Remelting
During the process, we can:

Remelting is both a sustainable choice and a way to preserve your memories. By recycling precious metals and gemstones, we conserve resources while giving you a piece of jewelry that holds both sentimental value and contemporary appeal.
For many people, it is precisely the combination of emotion, history, and new design that makes remelting something truly special.
