Just over a month ago, the Tatler Ball 2024 presented the paradisiacal concept of “Xanadu” at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore. In this gathering of greats, where visions of a greater world were celebrated, guests came dressed in their black tie’s best in a utopian palette. Shining bright in a canary yellow gown was Fanty Soenardy, a familiar fixture on the social circuit best known for her glamour, and her generosity. And crowning her ensemble was something even more scintillating—a tiara, by the house of Chaumet.
This Chaumet Joséphine Valse Impériale tiara was a present for her 25th wedding anniversary, which she and her husband celebrated a week after the ball. “To mark this milestone, I thought we should get something special—not just for me, but for our family,” the mother-oftwo muses. “I love the concept of family heirlooms; how these pieces represent a piece of our family’s history, and can continue telling those stories for us as they get passed down the generations. The tiara not only encapsulates our love as a couple of 25 years, but is also a piece my daughter can wear for her very own wedding—eventually adding yet another great love story to this family jewel,” she adds.
