Whether it is a grandmother’s matha patti that hasn't seen the light in thirty years or scattered stones from a broken necklace, we carefully clean, reset, and re-engineer them to suit your current style. You keep your gold, your memories stay intact, and you walk away with a piece you will actually wear, not store. When we started Kivlo Jewels in our Opera House studio, our goal was simple: stop the cycle of melting down jewelry just to keep up with trends. Every piece you see on this page tells a different story. ### Why Our Clients Choose Upcycling Many of our clients come to us with a mix of outdated pieces—some loose, some broken, some just not their style anymore. For example, we once had a client send us a box of old necklaces all the way from Indore. After a video consultation to understand her taste and budget, we dismantled the pieces and used them to create a completely new, modern haar. We didn't melt the gold; we just repositioned the elements. ### The Process: Your Gold, New Life We prioritize transparency in every transformation. - **No Melting:** We keep 70-80% of your original gold intact. - **Design Consultation:** Whether in our Mumbai studio or via a video call, we sketch the new design with you so you see exactly what we are making. - **Adding Value:** We often incorporate Kundan, uncut diamonds, rubies, or pearls to elevate the piece, giving it that fresh, contemporary feel while respecting the original metal. From converting a matha patti into a hathphool for a bride to turning small, mismatched gold trinkets into a cohesive bridal set, we believe your heirlooms deserve to be worn. If you have jewelry sitting in a locker, let us show you how we can make it a part of your daily style again. ## About Kivlo Jewels Hi, we are Miloni and Kavin from Kivlo Jewels. We spend our days at our Opera House studio sketching ways to breathe new life into your old gold. It is mostly just us, our sketches, and the happy tears when you see your heirlooms reborn.
