Custom Jewellery
Penny's Jewellery boasts in-house manufacturing. We will take your ideas and turn them into reality. We can help you make decisions about metals, gems, styles, and applications. We are quickly and easily able to:
- Design and produce custom, one-of-a-kind special order items that meet your unique desire
- Remodel your old gold to create some special to capture memories and special sentiments
- Simply recycle precious gems and metals in a new design or application
For new designs, rings and other jewellery are modelled first in wax and tweaked as per your vision, fit and fancy. Once approved, your piece is moulded directly from the wax carving into metal, which is further refined, polished and mounted with gem or gems as desired. The finished product is your unique item to be worn and cherished.
Having your own custom jewellery made is a rewarding experience. Not only is the process engaging, but the end result is truly exciting. After all, it's all about creating lasting memories, and nothing does that better than a unique, custom-designed ring or special item for yourself or someone very special.

Jewellery Repair
We repair jewellery in-house, using traditional methods as well as with laser welding. Laser welding/soldering is unique to Penny's Jewellery in Brockville. We are the only Jeweller locally that provides this service in-house.
Laser soldering/welding is more precise than traditional soldering methods. It focuses heat only where it's needed, reducing the risk of damage to more delicate stones like Opal, Emerald and Amethyst and others. At Penny's Jewellery, you can trust us with your precious items, and we won’t send them out for repair.
We also repair broken eyeglass metal frames by laser weld. Eyeglass frames are difficult and often deemed unrepairable, but this is often not the case given our capability. Bring us your damaged frames, and we'll fix them if possible.
