DeBeers + Piaget

The most value for money offer comes from DeBeers, a brand that offers ethical diamonds from a safe and trustworthy source. An arm stack, statement ring and tri-coloured eternity rings for $75,000 USD or $103,000 SGD. I did a picture composite of what it all looks like.

Up close, the arm stack is made up of 4 items.

The Aria Cuff $28,000 USD. To me this looks like buttercream frosting and you also need to know there is a similar design @ Habib called Arowana.

The Dewdrops Bangle $9,500 USD. To me this looks like an older design from Tiffany & Co.

 Classic 3 row micropave bangle $8,500 USD. I actually have this.

 Classic one row bangle $4,950 USD. And this one too.

 The tri-coloured Aura rings are pink diamonds in rose gold, yellow diamonds in yellow gold and colourless diamonds in white gold. An on-trend item and you also get a collection of coloured diamonds all at once. $9,400 USD.

The Aria Ring $15,000 USD makes an impactful appearance due to its size. If you are looking for a discount, head over to Piaget to get the Rose Ring $12,000 USD. It's the same size and of similar quality. 

Habib, Piaget and DeBeers are all located @ KLCC Malaysia, although I didn't go there.

Chopard Jewellery House

The most affordably priced gemstone bags come from Chopard's Happy Collection. It's leather with a satin finish, very luxe. The green colour bags come with malachite gemstones, the pink colour bags come with coral gemstones and the rest are pearl or diamonds, not sure if the pearl and diamonds are real though coz of the price. The Red Carpet edition is not available in all stores, just St.Tropez or Cannes. 

Talking about Cannes, famous for its annual film festivals. Chopard has a Cannes themed collection of watches and jewellery in emeralds, diamonds and plain yellow gold.

The latest collaboration is with pop star Rihanna, featuring green bits mixed into the Ice Cube collection. The look is very tropical and resort-ish.

What I'm really excited about is the high jewellery collection that has more tribal-looking pieces reflective of current trends. It's soo colourful and made entirely from precious materials. Sold only in U.S. stores. 

The Rihanna x Chopard high jewellery collection also has diamonds that are TDF! That watch is soo lace-y and there are a lot of these new style earrings everywhere nowadays.

Bvlgari Jewellery House

The Icona10 collection of bags was launched during Bvlgari's 130th anniversary and is only available at the Rome, Italy store. It has a nice large size that is practical. It is made from precious skins, metals and whole gemstones.

Within the Icona10 collection itself, there are Isabella Rossellini versions, 3rd anniversary diamond clasp version etc. I like the side sling bag below that comes with matching sunglasses.

Personally, I really like the Galuchat skin bags, coz this brand does it soo well. How often does Galuchat turn up?

Everyone's real interest is in the Serpenti collection, both retail jewellery as well as high jewellery.

This is the latest Serpenti high jewellery collection in patriotic red, white, blue colours.

Some interesting B.zero.1 ear cuffs.

Bvlgari has a charity "save the children" B.zero.1 collection, each item is affordably priced under $1,000sgd.

My fave collection MVSA that is all about the colourful perfect cabochons gemstones that defines Bvlgari high jewellery. 

The brand also has a high jewellery rental business. Each emerald jewellery set is valued at over $1million and Elizabeth Taylor has a collection to her name. The Elizabeth Taylor emerald set below is valued at $2.38 million and is purportedly the hottest item for rent.

Cartier Jewellery House

Cartier has gemstone minaudieres from its new Cactus de Cartier collection @ $131,000 sgd or $165,000 sgd. This new collection is really quite different from its other collections but still covetable.

It's really all about the Panthere de Cartier Gold Chain and Gold Bracelet totaling $61,100 sgd or diamond encrusted versions.

New types of earrings, really cool.

 The best selling LOVE bracelets, as seen on celebrities everywhere. Prices start from $5,600 sgd.

Previously as in a decade ago, I enquired on the charity bands that are notoriously hard to obtain. I was told its for celebrities lending their fame to the cause or sold during charity events to participants and I can only buy it from the Cartier store in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Now, there are 5 or 6 designs available in Singapore not linked to any charity or cause.

My fave pieces from the Coloratura high jewellery collection. That ruby necklace is very wearable. 

My fave high jewellery watch from Tutti Frutti collection is reminiscent of antique royal jewellery, featuring carved gemstones and costs about half a million dollars.
