Instead, we preserve 70-80% of your original gold and carefully rework it, adding modern elements like Polki, rubies, or rice pearls to give it a fresh look. Whether you have an old Chandan haar sitting in a locker or a collection of forgotten kurta buttons, we dismantle, clean, and rebuild them into wearable statement pieces. We believe your family jewelry holds too many memories to be destroyed by melting. Our process is simple and transparent. We weigh your gold, provide a touch report, and sketch designs with you so you know exactly what is happening to your pieces. We specialize in structural changes. This includes converting rigid, outdated bangles into openable kadas, splitting heavy family necklaces into lighter sets for multiple generations to wear, or combining mismatched pendants and studs into a cohesive bridal set. We work from our studio in Opera House, Mumbai, and accept projects from across India. Common transformations include: * Converting bridal sets into Guttapusalu necklaces * Turning old chains into modern lariat or charm style pieces * Restringing pendants using high-strength wire instead of thread * Adding new semi-precious stones to brighten up darkened sets You get the final say on the design, ensuring the new piece matches your personal style while keeping the sentimental value intact. If you have heirlooms gathering dust, let us turn them into something you will actually wear. ## About Kivlo Jewels I am Miloni, and at Kivlo, we believe jewelry is just stored memories. Kavin handles the operations, while I spend my nights sketching ways to give your old chains and bangles a second life without ever melting them down.
