Jewellery Stores in Singapore You Must Visit
I will split this article up into two parts, one concentrating more on the local jewellery stores and one on the international chains, both of which have a home and is well known here in Singapore amongst the circles of accessory lovers. Finding a diamond or gold (or any other material for that matter) jewellery store is really easy; and there is a wide range of them littering the landscape of this island, from the city centre, ethnic enclaves - even some of the smaller suburbs as well.
Looking for a wedding ring? Local stores like Taka Jewellery and Lee Hua Jewellery are some of the household local brand names that have established themselves in Singapore since the early years. They are the glittering jewels within our local marketplace and have provided sterling service for as long as anyone can remember. With outlets and stores all over the island, you wont have to travel very far to get that perfectly cut diamond ring or those chic and new pair of earrings. Their design principles and inspirations come from all over the world and they have a large range of unique and colourful earrings, bangles, chains and any other accessory you can name.
Gold is a by word for local enclaves like China Town and Little India, with hundreds and hundreds of locally based gold stores (and some precious jewels) placed sometimes back to back in the long roads and rustic shop houses that are a feature of these heritage locations. Family owned or handed down generation to generation, you get the wisdom of years of experience and some of these shops even allow pre-ordering and even customisation to certain products like amulets and earrings.
But of course if you are more into the worldwide wonder of brand names like Tiffany and Rene Lalique will pop by malls like Takashimaya and even Paragon to look at the latest designs motivated by international inspiration. Like purchasing a Porsche, you are also paying for the tradition, the history and the brand recognition that comes with owning any one of the exquisite pieces displayed within their marble and granite, plush carpet shops. Here you will be treated like royalty with staff that serve you hand and foot and no order is too extravagant. With a worldwide cartel - like operations, you can order, pre-order and design your own pieces with your own specifications.
Orchard Road, Tanglin Road and Scotts Road are filled with boutiques and jewellery stores in Singapore you must visit. You can even turn your attention to local stores all over Orchard Road and any one of the ethnic enclaves that surround the town area. Whether you are looking for a wedding ring or a special pearl necklace for that someone you love, there will always be someone to attend to your needs.
Very soon your hand, or the hand of your loved one will be adorned with that something special, sparkling in the sunlight, only to be outdone by the smile on their face.
