Jewelry Repair & restoration

DENVER, COLORADO METALSMITH & LAPIDARIST

breathe new life into old & precious jewlery

There’s nothing better than breathing new life into a broken well-loved piece of jewelry or old family heirloom. We love repairing and restoring old jewelry. It stems from our great respect for the craftsmanship that it took to originally create the piece. Many of the items in the gallery are wonderful old Southwestern and Native American pieces that we restored. Turquoise Jewelry restoration had always been a favorite here. Our extensive collection of Turquoise and other stones allows us to match missing stones, then cut and polish the stones to fit the old settings.
 
Time to take that old broken piece out of the drawer! It’s time to re-size, repair broken or cracked silver, restring necklaces and Squash Blossoms, replace that cracked or missing stone and fix that broken clasp.
 
So, you don’t live in Denver? No Problem. We have restored pieces for folks all over the country. Just go to the Contact Page and send us a message. If you can take a photo of your piece we can offer you a consultation!

I cut and polish stones into cabochons, do inlay and intarsia work, and I have extensive experience replacing damaged stones in jewelry. Setting mineral specimens is something I really enjoy, and they make spectacular jewelry! So, if you’re looking for a non-traditional wedding ring or just wanting something more than a wire wrap for your favorite crystal, Sowilo Artisan Jewelry is the place to go.

I worked with Sowilo on two separate occasions for custom projects. Both times, the end products surpassed all expectations. Bonnie was able to craft incredible gifts from high level ideas. If you are looking for a unique gift of the highest quality, I highly recommend Sowilo Jewelry.

Great find! I got an original silver ladies necklace for mom - she loved it! Also got a unique silver money clip for a friend. They also have great ear rings, stone pieces, etc. The owner is super helpful and a true artist. It sounds like she's been in the industry for a long time so she offered a lot of great advice and value in picking a piece.

Outstanding! Sowilo Artisan Jewlery~Bonnie is an incredible artist, designer and lovely human being. Bonnie has created a beautiful, custom band to match my unusual wedding ring. We have worked together from a distance (Alaska to Denver) without a hitch. Distance is no obstacle at all and had no impact on the timeline either. Whether you need a jewelry repair, custom creation or jewelry off the shelf ~ Sowilo is the place and Bonnie is your gal! Lol

Bonnie is fantastic. She did great work repairing two rings that are very special to my wife and I, and a 3rd ring that I got in West Yellowstone. All native jewelry. Price was way less than I expected. This is the only place that I will bring my native jewelry

Bonnie did an AMAZING job with a ring sizing/repair job for me. It was a challenging job and I should say that I shopped the ring around to a few local jewelry stores, and their supposed goldsmiths would not even touch my ring. I told Bonnie what I was hopeful of having done, and at one point said that I did NOT expect seamless perfection, that I just wanted something relatively neat looking and workable. Wonderful work by a true artisan.

We are from St. Louis and had been dating for about 10 years when we decided to get engaged while in Denver. We thought of trying to find a local artist and as luck would have it, we found Sowilo. Bonnie designed an amazing wedding set, just from talking with and getting to know us during our visit with her. Pictures do NOT do it justice. I have gotten so many compliments on my ring!

Bonnie at Sowilo Artisan Jewelry made me a custom piece of silver jewelry, a beautiful amethyst and white topaz brooch as a Christmas gift for a friend. She's fantastic! Bonnie picked out some stones for me and I chose my favorite. The brooch is better than I could have ever anticipated. Her store front is conveniently located and she's a very nice lady who kept in contact if I had questions. Bonnie is warm and welcoming and made me feel at home in her shop. I can't wait to go back and pick out jewelry for my birthday!

A gem of a place, and a best kept secret. Beautiful and unique jewelry and creating something new with Bonnie is an amazing experience. I found Sowilo through a casual internet search and am so thankful I did. I will return and am telling everyone about Bonnie.
