Upcycling Heirloom Gold Coins & Pendants in Mumbai
Got heirloom gold coins or pendants gathering dust in your locker? Let's turn those memories into wearable art you will actually reach for.
Don't let your heirloom gold coins sit in a locker. In this project, I created a stunning diamond and polki necklace by setting the client's coins in a diamond casing and accentuating them with polki and green French meena.
Here is how I converted a client's old ginni pendants and earrings into a beautiful gota puslu necklace. By enhancing them with emeralds and pearls, we created a timeless piece that can be worn on any occasion.
This client wanted her diamond pendant to be more wearable without exceeding her budget. We turned it into this beautiful and light tassel pendant that can be worn on a long chain or a hasli.
About Upcycling Gold Coins & Pendants
You do not need to melt your gold coins to give them a second life. I specialize in framing heirloom ginnis and pendants in 18k or 22k gold casings, accentuating them with polki, emeralds, or pearls to create flexible, modern designs. Whether you want a heavy choker or a delicate tassel, we keep the original coin intact while transforming it into a piece you will actually wear, not just store.
Bringing Memories Back to Life
Most of us inherit ginnis or pendants that hold deep emotional value, but they often stay in a locker because they do not fit our modern style. My process at Tiansh Jewels is to design around your heirloom, not over it. We create custom frames in 18k or 22k gold that hold the coin securely, allowing us to add contemporary elements like uncut diamonds, polki, or French meenakari to the piece.
The Transformation Journey
Every project starts with a conversation about what you want to achieve. Do you want a daily-wear necklace, or something bold for a wedding? I often combine coins with fresh emerald beads or basra pearls, creating a contrast between the antique gold and vibrant stones. For those looking for a structural change, we can convert rigid pendants into flexible tassel designs or use custom connecting links to transform single coins into a full-length hasli or choker.
Why Mumbai Trusts Our Refurbishing
Operating from my Malad studio, I have worked with many families across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area to give their jewellery a fresh narrative. We prioritize quality, using only high-grade gemstones and precise metalwork. Because we avoid melting the base coin, you retain the original gold purity while gaining a completely new look. If you are in Mumbai and looking to bring your family heirlooms out of the locker and onto your neck, let's discuss what we can create together.
Tiansh
Jai Shri Krishna. I started Tiansh because I saw how many families had beautiful, meaningful jewellery sitting in lockers, untouched. My work is simple: I help you turn those forgotten ginnis and pendants into pieces you will wear every day, blending your family’s history with fresh, modern craftsmanship.
