CARLSSON 1064

What CARLSSON 1064 does

CARLSSON 1064 is a London-based bespoke jewellery house operated as a sole proprietorship by goldsmith and bench jeweller Christina Carlsson. Founded in 2021, the business specialises in repurposing clients' existing sentimental and unworn jewellery — melting gold at 1064°C (the temperature that gives the firm its name), recasting it into ingots, and hand-fabricating new bespoke pieces that reuse original gemstones where possible. Core technical capabilities are traditional: metal casting, fabrication, soldering, stone setting, hand finishing, and London Assay Office hallmarking with the maker's mark.

The commercial model is direct-to-consumer custom commissions only — there is no e-commerce storefront with pre-made inventory. The five-stage process runs from email enquiry through Pinterest-led design consultation, contract with a 50% deposit (typically 50%), hands-on crafting with photo updates, and hallmarking plus final delivery. Commission pricing starts from £600, with the entire material basis supplied by the client's own jewellery; any leftover metal is converted into a complimentary nugget pendant. Customer segments include individuals holding sentimental unworn heirlooms (primary), couples sourcing meaningful wedding jewellery (secondary), and gift seekers for anniversaries and special occasions (secondary). Marketing is concentrated on Instagram, the website's Jewellery Stories blog, Google Reviews, and word-of-mouth referrals. The firm operates from Hoxton Square, London, with a secondary personal presence in Seville, Spain, and has no external funding, no employees beyond the founder, and no technology platform layer.

Core offering

CARLSSON 1064 is a bespoke jewellery remodelling and repurposing service operated by goldsmith Christina Carlsson. Customers submit their existing sentimental or unworn jewellery, which is melted down — gold at 1064°C — and combined with heirloom gemstones to handcraft new custom pieces such as rings, ring stacks, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and cufflinks. Each commission begins with a design consultation (using Pinterest mood boards), requires a 50% deposit, and culminates in a hallmarked finished piece, with any leftover metal returned as a complimentary nugget pendant.
