About this collection
I don't melt your precious gold or diamond settings. Instead, I carefully dismantle the piece and reposition your existing diamonds, often introducing new elements like Russian emeralds, pearls, or hand-carved gemstones to create a look that feels completely fresh. You get to keep the original emotional connection to your heirloom while gaining a piece you will actually wear to events.
My Design Philosophy: Old Gold, New Soul
For 25 years, I have helped clients across Mumbai and beyond unlock the potential of their jewellery. Whether it is a classic diamond necklace from your mother's wedding or a set you inherited from your grandmother, the value lies in the memories and the materials, not just the dated design.
The Revamp Process
- The Chat: We start by talking about what you want. Do you want something bold for a wedding, or a subtle piece for festive wear? I listen to your stories and look at your style.
- The Blueprint: I don't melt your gold. I carefully dismantle the piece, which allows me to see the potential in the diamonds you already have.
- The Architecture: My team and I sketch out a new layout. We might add pearls, polkis, or high-grade semi-precious stones to expand the volume and give it a modern, trendy aesthetic.
- The Craft: From soldering new 22kt gold loops to creating pearl jaali (lattice) bases, every step is done to ensure the structural integrity of your diamonds while giving them a new life.
Why Clients Trust Me
I am GIA-certified and have spent my career treating sentimental pieces with the respect they deserve. Many of my clients bring me pieces they were afraid to touch because they were worried about losing the original essence. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the process, whether you are coming to my Gamdevi studio or shipping your pieces to me for a remote redesign. If you are tired of your diamond jewellery sitting in a locker, let's talk about what we can create together.
