You can take your old gold pieces and they will be melted down and used to make something new. Worn thru bracelets, single ear-rings, rings or pieces needing remodelling etc.
Jeweller at the Kuta Paradiso has made many pieces for BTForumites.
I personally think they are better at making chunkier pieces, that is not with fine claws etc, so, so long as you want something chunky and are prepared to pay around au$50 for workmanship, give them a go.
