Offbeat Baubles

1. One-of-A-Kind Engagement If an exclusive ring is in order, Choo Yilin's got you sorted. She may be a stalwart in the local jewellery arena but this year, she's moved into a completely new category - engagement rings. Choo's forte is in modernising jade jewellery, so she taps into the rich history and culture of the Qing and Tang Dynasties for her designs. Says Choo of her new coloured stones engagement rings, "It is important to mark one of life's most emotionally significant moments with something that honours and speaks to our identities." Choo and her team spent years curating natural, unheated sapphires in unique colours so no two rings are identical.
