As an individual born and raised in Singapore, there has always been a personal struggle to find an identity that is relatable to this country and to one’s self. This personal journey resulted in distinctive conversational pieces that are embodied within Anecdotes.
Anecdotes is a jewellery collection — the physical manifestation of a personal identity inspired by the personal attachment and memories to a place in Singapore. The collection’s versatile aspect provides multiple ways of adorning the jewellery based on an individual’s style against otherwise conventional single function of jewellery. The star motifs throughout the collection is able to rotate according to the wearer’s movements. This interactivity yet playful nature captivates wearers and beholders to develop relationships and memories with each piece to create lasting moments.
The entire collection is inspired by my childhood experiences - ballet lessons at Fort Canning Centre whereby the architectural and ballet elements were combined.
This earring style can be deconstructed to the wearer’s style and occasion. It features a star ear cuff, ribbon jacket/cuff that requires the ear stud to be worn together. One can simply wear the ear stud (architectural motif) for a simpler look.
