Inherited Jewellery: Remodelled Into Contemporary Heirloom Pieces
Transforming Sentimental Jewellery into Contemporary Heirlooms
Jewellery has always been more than an accessory—it is a repository of memories, emotions, and the stories of those who wore it. At Tide and Trove, jewellery designer Daisy Munn expertly transforms inherited, sentimental pieces into bespoke, contemporary heirlooms that beautifully blend tradition with modernity. Through her meticulous craftsmanship, Daisy creates pieces that not only capture personal history but also evolve into iconic symbols of a new generation.
The Sentiment Behind Every Piece
For Daisy, the true value of jewellery lies in the stories it tells. Each piece carries with it the echoes of milestones—whether it be a grandmother’s engagement ring, a family heirloom, or a treasured gift from a loved one. These pieces often hold deep sentimental value, but as time passes, personal tastes and styles change, and the jewellery may no longer reflect the wearer’s current vision.
Daisy’s passion for storytelling through jewellery is at the heart of her design philosophy. She understands that remodelling sentimental jewellery isn’t just about transforming an object—it’s about honouring the emotions, memories, and connections that it represents. By repurposing these cherished heirlooms, Daisy allows her clients to retain the essence of the past while creating something that speaks to the present. Through her bespoke designs, old pieces are reimagined and elevated into timeless, contemporary works of art.
The Ancient Art of Granulation and Traditional Craftsmanship
A hallmark of Daisy Munn’s designs is the incorporation of the ancient art of granulation. This intricate technique, passed down through generations of master goldsmiths, involves fusing tiny gold spheres to a surface through heat, creating textured patterns that add depth and dimension to the jewellery. Daisy’s mastery of this craft ensures that each piece retains a deep sense of tradition while embracing the elegance of modern design.
Using this and other traditional techniques, Daisy blends fine craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics to create jewellery that is both luxurious and meaningful. Every piece she creates is a reflection of her commitment to preserving the integrity of the original piece while breathing new life into it, ensuring that the memories attached to it endure for years to come.
Creating Contemporary Icons
For Daisy, remodelling jewellery isn’t just about creating a new design—it’s about creating a future heirloom. Her work elevates sentimental pieces into modern icons, each one unique and timeless. Whether transforming a vintage engagement ring into a bespoke design or repurposing family gold into a chic wedding band, Daisy’s creations speak to the heart of the wearer’s story.
Her use of solid gold, diamonds, sapphires, and rubies ensures that every piece is not only beautiful but durable, making it something that can be passed down through generations. Daisy’s designs embody refined sophistication and exceptional craftsmanship, resulting in jewellery that tells a story of love, legacy, and craftsmanship.
Passing on Your Legacy
The beauty of jewellery lies in its ability to capture moments in time and connect generations. Daisy Munn’s work ensures that the stories told by jewellery don’t end with the current owner but are passed down through the generations, continuing to speak to the lives and histories of those who wear it. When a piece is remodelled by Daisy, it becomes more than just an accessory—it becomes a new chapter in the family’s story, ready to be handed down with pride.
As these newly remodelled pieces continue to carry the weight of family history, they offer a new way for future generations to honour their ancestors and cherish the memories embedded within the jewellery. Daisy’s designs are timeless, and her jewellery continues to evolve, becoming a part of the legacy it was meant to be.
