Custom Goldsmithing

Custom goldsmithing is at the heart of what Andrew does. Every piece begins with a conversation, whether you arrive with a clear vision, a rough idea, or simply a piece of inherited jewellery that deserves a new life.

Andrew works in silver, gold, and mixed metals to create completely original pieces from scratch, or to reimagine something you already own. Old gold can be melted down and reworked. Sentimental stones can be reset into a contemporary design. A wedding ring collection from a loved one can be combined into a single piece to carry them with you.

The process moves from initial consultation to rendered design options, giving you the opportunity to refine and approve before anything is made. The result is a piece that is entirely yours.

Gold melt custom work

Custom gold melting in Liverpool, NS

Have old gold sitting in a drawer? Andrew can melt down existing pieces and rework the metal into something new. Whether it's a gold band, an inherited ring, or scrap gold, nothing goes to waste. All metalwork at ADJA Gallery uses recycled metals and ethically sourced or repurposed gemstones.

It starts with an idea…

Followed by a design consultation from which options are rendered and the design finalized.

An example of rendering design options for client to choose or alter.

At ADJA Gallery and Studio in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, we do custom art and jewelry. Illustration and instructions for designing a gold-colored ring with a pierced or engraved letter.
