Giving jewelry is good. Creating it with your own gold is even better!

Giving a piece of jewelry is much more than a simple gesture. Based on our many years of experience in jewelry, we have found that a person who receives custom-made jewelry appreciates the effort and approach of the person who had it made as much as the jewelry itself. That's why, at BJCG Atelier, we offer a unique approach: you can choose to be fully involved in every step of the creation, or simply entrust us with your project and let us breathe new life into your jewelry.

By recycling your gold, you are not just saving money or making an ecological gesture; you are participating in a creative and sentimental process that will make your jewelry even more significant.

Why recycle your gold?

Gold is a precious metal that never loses its value. Yet, how many old jewelry pieces lie dormant in drawers simply because they are outdated, worn, or damaged? Instead of abandoning them, why not give them a second life?

Here are some advantages of reusing your gold to create a new piece of jewelry:

• A piece of jewelry with a history: By transforming your gold, you preserve the soul and symbolism of the original jewelry.

• Active participation in creation: You can follow and intervene in all stages of the process.

• An economic investment: The cost of your jewelry is reduced since we reuse existing gold.

• An ecological gesture: You avoid mining extraction, thus reducing the environmental impact.

• A unique and personalized piece: Unlike mass-produced jewelry, your jewelry is custom-made, according to your tastes and your story.

Your involvement in the creation: a unique experience

At BJCG Atelier, we offer a tailor-made approach where you choose your level of involvement.

• For creative enthusiasts: You can actively participate in all stages of the project. From design selection to finishing, we involve you in the creative process, showing you the different manufacturing options and possible adjustments.

• For those who prefer to trust us: You can simply bring us your gold jewelry and entrust us with the mission of giving it a new life. We will take care to create a unique piece, true to your expectations.

In all cases, we document the entire manufacturing process by taking photos and videos of the different stages:

• The melting of your gold

• The design and manufacturing of your jewelry

• The printing and casting of specialized photopolymer for the jewelry world

• Assembly and finishing

If you wish, these images can be shared on our social networks to immortalize this transformation or sent to you by email, so you can relive and share this experience with your loved ones.

Restoring shine and modernity to your old jewelry

If you own an old piece of jewelry that you cherish but no longer suits your style, BJCG Atelier can modernize it while preserving its essence:

• Modification and adjustment of the design for a more current look

• Repair and restoration to restore its original brilliance

• Size and comfort adjustment so it can be worn again

Expertise stemming from a family tradition

Coming from a family of jewelers, I grew up in this world where artisanal know-how is passed down from generation to generation. Recently, I launched BJCG Atelier, a section specializing in the repair and custom manufacturing of jewelry, not only for our local customers but also for mall jewelers and jewelry chains that do not have their own workshop. Today, about ten jewelers in Quebec and beyond trust us to offer their customers quality service. Despite this expansion, we are still located in the same premises as Bijouterie Jean-Claude Gagnon, thus perpetuating the family legacy while innovating with new technologies and services.

A graduate in jewelry-making in 2001, I have perfected my expertise over the past 24 years, mastering all manufacturing techniques. Thanks to my expertise in 3D modeling and diamond classification, I can adapt each method to create jewelry of exceptional quality, while optimizing costs to make them more accessible.

At BJCG Atelier, we combine artisanal know-how and cutting-edge technology through tools such as 3D modeling and the printing and casting of specialized photopolymer for the jewelry world, guaranteeing precise work and an impeccable finish.
