Three new treasured possessions arrive at the barn for Jay Blades and his crew of conservators to transform.

Today Art Conservator Lucia Scalisi is fascinated by an unusual religious artefact. It's a 3-dimensional portrait depicting the three aspects of a Hindu god – Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Each goddess is revealed when the portrait is viewed from different angles. It was made by owner Raj's grandfather over one hundred years ago for his daughter, Raj's mother, who was a devout Hindu. The portrait was displayed in her house shrine where she would sit for her daily prayers and reminds Raj of a much-missed mother. However, the scared images are faded and masked by years of cobwebs and dust which have accumulated within the boxed frame. Lucia is impressed by the portrait's clever construction, as she meticulously cleans and repairs this unique piece of family history.

Next to arrive is Aisling with a broken silver locket that was a gift from her late grandparents, whom she was very close to. She has worn the locket almost everyday day and it brought her much comfort. She was devastated when the front side of the decorative casing detached and was lost without a trace. She would love to wear it again and replace the pictures of her dear nan and grandad inside. Goldsmith Richard Talman crafts a new front casing and hinge for the locket and enlists the help of talented engraver Sam Marsden to replicate the intricate lattice design. The results bring much joy to Aisling.

Finally optical expert Richard Biggs is eager to get to work on a pair of vintage binoculars. They were a gift from Erica's father and together they would take them out birdwatching in rural Devon. These scuffed and dirty binoculars represent a childhood of adventure and a doting dad. Erica still remembers the excitement of spotting her first kingfisher on the Teign Estuary and her love for birds has never ceased. Her wish is to use them again in her garden and share her love with her grandchildren. Richard has a job getting the prisms out but is determined to return them to her in full working order.
