EMILIANA Upcycling
Gold doesn't lose value. It transforms.
Emiliana Upcycling is a permanent gold repurposing program created to transform old jewelry into new pieces.
Through this process, we evaluate the gold you already own and convert it into credit, which can be used to create a new piece of jewelry or choose Emiliana pieces.
We accept gold jewelry regardless of its condition or gold content, including broken or unused pieces.
Upcycling is continuity.
Of material, memory, and value.
How Upcycling Happens
Upcycling is part of how we work.
We believe in the responsible use of gold and in the continuation of what already exists.
Gold does not lose quality. It can be reused, maintaining its value and integrity over time.
In the process, this gold undergoes refining and purification until it reaches 24k standard, its purest form. At this stage, it completely recovers its properties, brilliance, and value.
Afterward, it returns to the production process and can be transformed into a new piece of jewelry.
By working with existing gold, we reduce the need for new extraction—a process that involves significant environmental impacts.
What is established is a continuous cycle, where the material remains in use and takes on new forms.
How it works
The process is simple, clear, and guided every step of the way.
1. Initial contact
Contact our team via WhatsApp or the website channels to start the process.
2. Preliminary estimate
Before shipping, we provide an initial estimate based on the information and approximate weight of the pieces.
3. Shipping the jewelry
Jewelry can be shipped from anywhere in Brazil, with clear packaging instructions.
4. Technical evaluation
Upon receipt, we evaluate the weight and purity of the gold.
5. Credit conversion
The material's value is converted into credit, calculated based on the gold's weight and purity.
6. Choosing new jewelry
You can use this credit to create a new piece or choose an Emiliana jewel.
7. Material continuity
The gold is sent for refining and purification with specialized companies and then returns to the production process.
Transparency and Security
The process is conducted with clarity and supervision from beginning to end.
