About Extreme Jewelry Makeover:
In this MGTV series (Yes, I'm spoofing HGTV), I recycle old jewelry and turn it into something new. Often jewelry just rots away in a dresser drawer or jewelry box. People outgrow the design. This series will cover the adventures and design exploration of making new creative jewelry pieces with existing materials.
Episode 1: "The Diamond Cluster"
In this episode, I use existing diamonds from 4 different pieces of jewelry and combine them into one diamond cluster engagement ring. Some of the original yellow gold is also melted down in the new casting. Fresh alloy is added to ensure a clean cast. Any leftover materials are returned to the client or traded in for recycle credit.
