Versatile, durable and affordable: The classic cushion cut has risen once more in popularity. Find out why.

As we ease into the ‘20s, we’re reflecting on one of our favourite designs of engagement rings: the asscher cut.

Does it feel like it’s time for a refresh? Perhaps you’re setting into the new year, tackling some resolutions, one of which is related to decluttering your home and personal items, or completely rethinking your personal style. If this is the case, considering jewelry renewal could be a great option, especially if you’ve got some pieces in your possession which you may have inherited from a loved one born into an older generation. So what is jewelry renewal exactly, and where can you go to get this done in South Africa? We’ve done some digging for you, and are happy to help to put you on your way today. 

So you’ve got a little bit of extra cash at the end of the month, and you’re looking to get yourself a new piece of jewelry. Hold up! You’ve just remembered that your collection is getting rather full, and perhaps grandma’s necklace has to go in order to make room for this new piece (ouch). Perhaps not, as there is an alternative you can choose, which not only allows you to update an existing piece of sentimental value, but also allows you the perks of having a new piece of jewelry to wear, and perhaps even pass down to your children. Sound good? Let’s explore this a little further before you decide between buying new, or reviving an older piece in your collection.
