I split one statement necklace into two distinct, wearable pieces, so you get double the style from the same gold. ## Photos and videos - [Video: And here's the best revamp of May.

My team carefully dismantles heavy, rigid heirloom sets to preserve the original 22kt gold integrity while creating two separate, functional pieces. Usually, we take the main chains and pendants to create a modern choker for daily wear, and transform the remaining elements into a longer, more traditional mala or a statement pendant set. This way, you stop saving your jewellery for special occasions and start wearing it daily. Many of our clients come to us with a beautiful, heavy necklace from their wedding that they simply cannot wear today. It feels too heavy, too traditional, or just doesn't match the modern aesthetic. ### Why Split Your Jewellery? - **Maximum Utility:** A single massive piece is hard to style. By splitting it, you get a modern, trendy choker for semi-formal events and a regal long necklace for weddings or festivals. - **Gold Integrity:** We do not melt your gold. Our process involves surgical dismantling and repositioning. Your gold weight remains the same, but the design becomes twice as versatile. - **Added Flair:** Often, when we split a set, we add subtle elements like Russian emeralds, polkis, or pearl jaali work. This bridges the gap between old-school heavy gold and contemporary jewellery trends. ### The Transformation Process When you bring us a piece, we start by mapping out the design. We identify where the gold can be separated without affecting the structural strength. We might take the side chains to form the foundation of your new choker and use the centerpiece pendant for a separate, longer necklace. Whether you are in Mumbai or anywhere else in India, we work closely with you. We share sketches, discuss the layout of stones, and ensure you are comfortable with the plan before any metal is touched. ### What About My Old Diamond or Polki Sets? It is not just for plain gold. We handle polki, uncut diamonds, and kundan sets with the same level of care. We often take a dated bridal choker and re-envision it into a lighter, more wearable set for your daughter or yourself. If you have been looking for a way to breathe fresh life into your family heirlooms, let's look at what we can do with your pieces. ## About Gewels by Mona Hi, I'm Mona.
