While we are still celebrating jewellery associated with weddings in this issue, the idea behind the theme "Lasting Union" also takes on a completely different meaning at this time. The stories here will remind you of the lasting commitment jewellers have with their craft, clients, and the people that depend on them.

In this issue of Solitaire, we discover how age-old craftsmanship finds new life in modern designs. Asian designers are merging tradition with contemporary aesthetics to create pieces that resonate with today’s discerning wearers. We also highlight three multi-generational jewellery houses in Southeast Asia: Amee Philips, Canary Diamonds, and Infiniti. Each company exemplifies a unique blend of tradition, innovation, and family legacy. Find out about the allure of bohemian jewellery, where freedom and eclecticism meet intricate craftsmanship. And while monochromatic timepieces remain a staple, this year is all about injecting a dash of colour into your collection.

In this new issue of Solitaire, we shine the spotlight on Singapore-based female entrepreneurs who are making waves in design, jewellery and travel. Meet Andrea Savage, co-CEO and creative director of Life by Design, who showcases her vibrant, maximalist style – in both her interior design work and her own jewellery collections. We also talk to Simone Ng, founder of Simone Jewels who specialises in coloured gemstones and unique designs, as well as zeroes in on the meaning and stories behind each piece. Her commitment to ethical practices and sustainability sets her brand apart in the industry. Meanwhile, tiaras – once reserved for princesses and brides – have now found a place in contemporary fashion. Discover how to confidently wear a tiara on special occasions, or integrate a transformable piece into your modern jewellery collection. Also look out for new highlights from the world of high jewellery—ranging from dazzling, playful pieces to contemporary designs, as well as the latest trend on ultra-thin watches. 

Discover what’s new and trending in the world of jewellery and timepieces. Yellow gold is making a comeback with a lighter hue, coupled with a contemporary and refined style. The red carpet is ablaze with bejewelled necklaces adorning the necks of famous male celebrities. These male icons are not only flaunting exquisite modern designs but engaging in high profile collaborations with various luxury brands. This issue, we also meet Dr June Goh-Rin, known for her unwavering advocacy for women empowerment. With a passion for fashion and keen eye for jewellery, June also imparts advice for aspiring collectors, while emphasising the importance of narratives in vintage jewellery. Also find out more about Shanya Amarasuriya, a fifth-generation jeweller of B.P. de Silva Jewellers, the oldest jewellery business in Singapore. She talks about her design influences and creations aimed at telling stories that can be passed down through generations.

Trade shows are for industry insiders as well as consumers. Our exclusive reports on VICENZAORO and HKTDC Jewellery Fair give a clear indication of what you will be wearing in the coming months.

Women continue to shine in various professional fields. In the SaaS space, Anna Gong, founder & CEO of Perx Technologies, is launching innovative products & services on top of instilling a culture of gender equality and inclusivity in her company.

The way to the top is arduous yet thrilling, as renowned jewellers Barney Cheng, Jane Fleur Steel, Olga Oleksenko and Wallis Hong retell. 

Read their stories in the Dec-Jan Issue of Solitaire. Out now!

Women are claiming their places at the centre of the stage whether they are starting a business, hosting charity events, or dancing the lead role in a lavish ballet production. Moving with stunning grace and courage, they are also making their choices known. We have the exclusive interviews with socialite Wendy Long, entrepreneur Kelly Keak, and ballerina Kwok Min Yi, and stunning images of new high jewellery collections from Chaumet, Tiffany, Bulgari, and more. 

The significance of jewellery goes beyond materiality. In this issue we explore family ties, female empowerment, brand advocacy, and how they are articulated in jewellery

In SOLITAIRE’s first issue of 2023, we explore new jewellery trends, technology and material breakthroughs. In our interviews, we speak with Paige Parker, our first lead profile who shares her personal jewellery collection and her gemology journey as a GIA Graduate Gemologist, on top of being a podcast host, author, philanthropist, and an NFT advocate. We also speak to Céline Assimon, the CEO of De Beers Jewellery, about the morality of diamonds and jewellery in the age of digitisation. Closer to home, Michael Koh, Founder of homegrown jewellery Caratell, has embarked on a new journey to develop a microchip for our jewels.

Solitaire celebrates the festive season the best way it knows how – with fun, opulent, and luxurious jewels that are indeed merry and bright.

Join us on a fantastical journey in this edition of Solitaire as we highlight high jewellery masterpieces, intricately carved gemstones, and the most exciting trends. Plus: An in-depth look at the Watches & Wonders 2022 releases.

Solitaire’s summer holiday special celebrates fantastic destinations and beautiful jewellery inspired by some of the world’s most exciting countries. Happy reading and even happier travels!

Beyond the glitz of gold and the glamour of precious stones, jewellery as a luxury item is going through an evolution.

This issue of Solitaire allows for a peek into the exciting and ever-evolving future of jewellery: From eye-opening designs and trends to technological advancements and promising names to watch out for.

Watch drama unfold as you go through this issue of Solitaire, which celebrates the grandeur, colour, and fabulosity of the newest high jewellery collections.

This issue of Solitaire is a celebration of design; of the unforgettable forms jewellery takes on through the imagination and hands of talented designers.

This issue of Solitaire is a celebration of the jewellery brands we love and also includes a comprehensive guide on one of the travel destinations on the top of our list – Switzerland.

This issue of Solitaire celebrates jewellery through a "modern classics" lens - with a focus on the new high jewellery collection from Mikimoto, the revival of ancient jewellery techniques, and a wide array of earring styles to keep an eye out for in 2021.

To help uplift the spirit and engage the imagination, we look to fantasy for this issue of Solitaire. Jewellery, with its brilliant colours and imaginative forms, will allow for a glittering and hopeful view of the months to come.

Shining the spotlight on subtle statements — a fine selection of jewellery that boast minimalist shapes, classic styles, and clean lines perfect for everyday.

In this issue of Solitaire, we celebrate what we truly love. We aim to find romance in artistry, exquisite creations, and the unexpected; to fall in love with stories and ideas behind jewellery creations and magnificent timepieces.

As the world around us changes, the state of luxury is in flux as well. For some, its has gone beyond material goods and instead, replaced by experiences or a state of mind. In this issue, we explore the different ways brands and consumers are approaching it: From jewellery enthusiasts buying pieces on their own terms to new and creative applications of luxurious materials like gold and platinum.

The allure of the unknown, the new, and the exotic is intoxicating. It
draws all of us like moths to a flame, especially when we attempt to understand
something that’s usually beyond our comprehension. And this is exactly what we want to highlight in this issue of Solitaire.

Jewellery is more than just a finishing touch — it's a lifestyle. This is something we've highlighted in the revamped version of Solitaire, so allow us to present this issue with the theme "Feast for the Senses", which will hopefully excite and inspire as you flip through the pages. Marvel at beautiful works of art in the form of statement earrings; at the imaginative forms of the latest collections launched in Paris and Las Vegas; at the exquisite craftsmanship each respected brand we've chosen to feature boasts. Finally, immerse yourself in our newly introduced lifestyle stories that will allow you to fully indulge in the fine art of jewellery and living.

Welcome to our bridal issue! As always, we celebrate the modern bride the same way we honour wedding traditions. It’s interesting to note that each culture has its own interesting custom when it comes to bridal jewellery — take a look at four of our favourite global brides. To keep you in the loop on what’s new and covetable for your wedding needs, we asked some industry experts to give us a lowdown on the latest bridal trends — from flowers and cakes to wedding gowns and bridal jewellery, of course!

For our 100th issue, Solitaire pays tribute to the amazing jewellers that we have worked with during the past 16 years, whose stories and journeys inspired, touched, and motivated us in ways that often go beyond the sparkle of the jewellery we write about. From Australia and Italy all the way to the US and Vietnam — from big, famous brands to up-and-coming designers, we explored the world to find them and share their passions and stories with all of you.

For most women, diamonds still shine the brightest. From Dior and Bvlgari’s new collections, to Nicole Kidman’s favourite diamonds pieces, this issue — our DIAMOND EDITION — is packed with all things pretty and brilliant.

As always, our Festive Edition is full of fun and exciting ideas on how to make your holiday season all the more bright and dazzling. From industry leaders’ jewellery gifting tips, to stunning stocking stuffers and fashion features, our carefully curated contents for the festive season are enough to get you in the holiday mood.

As a nod to our Asian heritage, fine jewellery legacy, and traditional craftsmanship, we shine the spotlight on some of our talented local jewellers and sought-after jewellery brands and collections. From the unmistakable Asian-inspired designs and inspirations to our homegrown designers who are making a mark internationally, we take pride in bringing you Solitaire’s October-November Edition, with a distinctly Eastern flair.
