Do you have jewelry you no longer wear and don’t know what to do with? leMel can help you Repair, Restore, Repurpose, or Recycle your old styles into something as good as new—or a gift card for its value!

Recycling your jewelry is a great option for those heirloom pieces you know you won't wear! Jewelry parts made of precious metals (silver, gold, platinum) can be melted down and transformed. We’ll recycle your old jewelry and send you a gift card for it’s value in exchange!

For Recycle projects, the credit you receive will be based on the weighted value of the metals you send in, subject to the cost of melting it down. You can use your credit towards a custom project or towards the purchase of any new leMel piece!

Have Leftover Metal You Don't Know What To Do With?
When repurposing pieces, our customers are often left with unused metal. We can sell this extra metal in exchange for credit towards your project! In the project above we transformed our client's vintage piece into a beautiful tennis bracelet.  As you can see, she was left with a lot of metal that we did not use in her new piece. We were able to sell the left over set in exchange for over 30% off her cost!
