Upcycle Old Gold Bangles into Modern Bracelets
Stop hiding those heavy, outdated bangles in your locker. We reimagine your old gold into wearable bracelets and kadas without melting a single gram.
If your mom's bangles don't fit, we can upcycle them. These beautiful pearl bangles were reimagined into a modern and stunning bracelet that our client absolutely loves and can now wear with pride.
A client came in with her mom's bangles that were not her size or style. We cut the two bangles into four pieces and crafted them into this beautiful bracelet, adding pearls to get the length just right.
From six old, outdated gold bangles to two stunning, heavy masterpieces. We transformed these barely worn pieces into bold, timeless kadas that any generation would love to wear.
A client wanted huge kadas made from her old bangles. We selected six bangles that complemented each other, put them together, added kundan, and made them openable so the size can be passed down through generations.
One bangle turned into two bracelets. We kept the design simple but made it more wearable by creating two separate pieces, one for our client and one for her married daughter. A simple change makes all the difference.
This three-generation-old bangle didn't fit anyone and other jewelers wouldn't touch it. We made it openable, added some polkis, and completely changed the look, preserving a precious gift from a great-grandfather.
When I say upcycled, this is what I mean. We received two bangles from a client, added a line of polki in the middle, and the transformation is stunning. Think of us before you think of melting.
From two old bangles to one iconic kada. We revived this classic heritage piece by combining the bangles and adding new floral motifs, turning it into a masterpiece reborn.
Two old blue meena bangles with faded color that didn't fit the client were transformed into a beautiful statement kada. We cut the bangles, added kundan motives, and used pearls to get the size just right.
Classic meets contemporary in this bracelet transformation. We took a simple, traditional gold bracelet and gave it a modern twist with uncut diamonds and rubies, creating a piece that's perfect for today.
About Bangles, Bracelets & Kadas Transformed
We do not just fix jewelry, we change its entire structure. If you have a bangle that is too tight or a design you have not worn in years, we often cut them, add 22kt gold hinges for a secure fit, or incorporate Kundan motifs and rice pearls to match your style. It is about making your history wearable today, rather than keeping it locked away.
Many of us have a collection of bangles gathering dust. Maybe they were a gift from Nani, or a wedding set from years ago, but the size is wrong or the style feels dated. At Kivlo, we specialize in breathing new life into these pieces.
The Transformation Process
It is not just about resizing. We look at the bangle, the gold quality, and your vision. We might split two bangles to make a pair of bracelets, or combine six thin ones into a heavy, openable Kada. We add 22kt hallmarked gold for the hinges and structures, using techniques like pearl wire-wrapping instead of glue to ensure the piece lasts.
Why We Avoid Melting
Melting destroys the sentiment and usually results in losing gold to wastage. By choosing to upcycle, you preserve the exact gold your family purchased, just in a form you will actually wear to a party or even to work. We add gold to your gold, never mixing or destroying the original base.
Designing Your Piece
Whether you are in Mumbai or across India, we start with a conversation. We can meet at our Opera House studio or hop on a video call. We sketch out the design together, select the stones, and guide you through the process. Your heirloom is not dead, it is just waiting for a change.
