About Gold Jewelry Redesign & Remodelling
Why I Love Redesigning Gold Jewelry
I get it - we all have gold jewelry tucked away, pieces that mean a lot but just don’t fit our vibe anymore. I’m all about giving those old treasures a fresh look, without melting them down or losing their story.
My Approach: No Melting, Just Remodelling
- I never melt your gold, so you keep its value and memories.
- We add gold to your gold, making it more wearable and modern.
- It’s a sustainable gold jewelry makeover that keeps your family’s stories alive.
How We Work Together
- We start with a chat - in my Mumbai studio or on video call. You tell me about your jewelry, your style, and what you want.
- We sketch ideas together. You get to see options, mix and match, and only move ahead when you’re happy.
- My artisans carefully take apart and rebuild your piece using traditional techniques. I’ll share behind-the-scenes updates so you’re part of the journey.
What Can Be Remade?
- Outdated necklaces, rings, bangles, broken chains, mismatched earrings
- Heirloom jewelry from your Dadi/Nani (grandma), even old kamarpatta (waist belt) or kurta buttons
- We can combine thin bangles into chunky kadas, or turn pendants and chains into a bridal haar (necklace)
The Details
- Add sparkle with Kundan, Polki, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, or Moti (pearls)
- Make necklaces detachable, bangles openable, so they fit better and last longer
- I love working with heirloom jewelry - it’s about keeping your family’s connection alive, while making it ready for the next generation

My Story
Hey, I'm Miloni. Kivlo's my jam, started it with Kavin - he's the calm ops guy, I'm the night owl sketching wild jewelry makeovers. We got into this seeing folks melt down gold, poof, memories gone. Now, old bangles and bridal sets come to us for a second life. Nothing beats a mom’s face when her old set turns into something her daughter actually wants to wear. Video calls, late nights, a bit of chaos - that's us.
My Work
Upcycling old jewelry - Turn your unused gold chains, bangles, or earrings into modern pieces like upcycled bridal jewelry or heritage chokers.
No melting, more memories - We keep 70-80% of your gold as is. No melting. Add kundans, uncut diamonds, pearls, whatever you like.
Custom transformations - We chat in-person or on video, get your vibe, and turn heirlooms into statement necklaces, even kurta buttons if you want.
Full transparency - We weigh every bit, suggest a touch report, no hidden tricks. You see what’s saved.
