Showtime!
What a hectic October we have at TFL as we were busy checking out the various jewellery events held in Singapore this month to see what are the latest trends, and possibly bringing them to you in the near future.

Singapore Jewel Fest at Ngee Ann City
We first visited Jewel Fest, Asia's most prestigious jewellery show held at Ngee Ann City, where we were bedazzled by the fine craftsmanship from long-standing jewellery brands such as Niessings from -Germany and Oro Trend from Italy. It was amazing, as we admire the different sophisticated fine jewellery on display at the show, which of course came with a high price tag as well. Jewel Fest is into its 12th year of running here and saw more than 50 international brands showcasing their products this year.

Next, we visited the Singapore Jewellery and Gem Fair, organised by UBM, which was the same organiser as the Hong Kong Jewellery and Gem Fair which we attended in September. Although the Singapore fair held at Marina Bay Sands was much smaller in scale than the Hong Kong fair which covers several levels of the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, it was unique in many ways and certainly worth our visit.

Intricate Jade Necklace by On Cheong Jewellery
Firstly, the Singapore presence was definitely stronger as more than 30 home brands participated in the fair including familiar names such as Taka Jewellery and On Cheong Jewellery, just to name a few. Secondly, many gems and jewellery suppliers from neighbouring ASEAN countries such as Cambodia and Thailand also participated in the Fair. They were certainly some of the biggest crowd-drawers as visitors were attracted by their colourful jewellery set in precious stones mined in the region.

Myraid of Colours from Imperial Jewellery (Cambodia)
Finally, unlike the Hong Kong fair, we noticed Peranakan Jewellery amongst the midst from exhibitors such as Foundation Jewellers which specialises in these rich exquisite pieces. This Peranakan heritage is definitely unique to Singapore and its neighbouring regions.
