Modernising Heirloom Necklaces and Chokers

A studio shot of the finished refurbished hasli. The vibrant green stones contrast beautifully with the sparkling diamonds, creating a statement piece that is both modern and timeless.

This transformation shows how a single traditional kairi pendant can become the centerpiece of a stunning choker, enhanced with carved emeralds, peacock motifs, and elegant pearl strings.

A client brought me old gold chains and earrings. To give them a new life, we combined them with newly crafted South Indian style brooches and emerald beads to create this heavy, layered necklace.

We took a client's traditional mangalsutra pendant and motifs and created this beautiful gold choker. By adding a new border, elephant motifs, and strings of pearls and emeralds, we gave it a completely new identity.

Sometimes a simple update is all that's needed. We gave this gold hasli a festive makeover by adding a large solitaire polki, a line of diamonds, and delicate rice pearls for a fresh, celebratory look.

A lesson in minimalist transformation. For this set, we simply changed the meena (enamel) color and added emeralds with moti piroi. Even small changes can make a piece feel beautifully new.

This client's gold set was no longer being worn, so we deconstructed it. We enhanced the pendant with emeralds, used pieces of the original gold to create a white moti mala, and made a matching bracelet and earrings.

A client wanted a unique and colorful piece on a limited budget. We used her two small gold pieces, added new bird motifs with meenakari, and created a vibrant mala with ruby and emerald beads.

From a single polki pendant to a show-stopping necklace. We created this piece on a budget by adding multi-layered emerald bead strings, proving that even small heirlooms can be turned into grand statements.
