About Heirloom & Bridal Jewelry Redesign
Why I Do What I Do
Jewelry isn’t just metal and stones for me - it’s memories. I see every old bangle or necklace as a piece of your family’s story. Melting it down? Bilkul nahi (Absolutely not). I upcycle, not destroy. That’s how I keep your Dadi’s blessings and your mom’s love alive in a way you’ll actually wear.
What I Can Do For You
- Want your mom’s wedding set to become your own upcycled bridal jewelry? I’ll rework it for your big day.
- Got a chain lying around? I can turn it into a bold Guttapusalu or Chandan Haar.
- Mix pieces from Dadi and Nani for a modern heirloom necklace that’s truly yours.
- Outdated bangles? I’ll make them openable, so you can pass them down.
- Heavy necklace you never wear? Let’s split it into bracelets for you and your mom.
- Even your dad’s old ring or gold buttons can be transformed into something special.
- Tiny pendants, darkened Kundan sets, mismatched bits - I’ll redesign them so you actually want to wear them.
How We Work Together
- We start with a chat - in my Mumbai studio or on video call. You tell me your style, your stories.
- I sketch ideas with you, right then and there. We tweak till it feels perfect.
- My artisans use traditional techniques to bring our shared vision to life.
What I Work With

My Promise
I only add gold to your gold. No mixing, no melting. Your memories stay safe, and your jewelry gets a sentimental jewelry makeover that’s true to its roots.

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.
