Simone Jewels drops new genderless range
Local jeweller to the stars Simone Ng has collaborated with Japanese-American artist Tomoyuki Iwanami on a collection, part of Simone Jewels’ high jewellery line.
Inspired by the traditional art form of sumi-e, which is embodied by black ink paintings, the six-piece Simone x Tomo collection features monochromatic pieces crafted from various materials, including 18K gold, diamonds and natural black spinel.
The gender-neutral collection comprises rings, earrings and a bracelet, designed as ink splash motifs.
The United States-based artist often applies the sumi-e technique to his surfboard designs.
Many of his projects also incorporate traditional Japanese techniques and media which he is fond of.
He says: “Like sumi-e, jewellery making requires attention to detail and the use of high-quality materials. Simone and I were inspired to merge these originalities to create a beautiful and meaningful collaboration collection.”
Prices for the Simone x Tomo collection range from $880 for the Sumi Ear Stud to $7,800 for the Sumi Mono Ring. Book an appointment by calling 8886-4128. Go to www.simonejewels.com to view and shop the collection.
Marks & Spencer’s improved lingerie section
Did you know that you are supposed to be refitted for your bras every six months?
Marks & Spencer has been offering bra fittings since 1975 and, to celebrate, the British multinational retailer has relaunched M&S BraFit, its expert service with a number of experienced bra advisers.
This free service is available at its new Lingerie Fitting Room in its Wheelock Place flagship store.
A bra-fitting session can take up to half an hour. The fitters begin by taking precise measurements and asking your specific requirements. They will then curate a selection of bras that aligns with your needs and preferences.
Specialist bras such as nursing bras or post-surgery bras are also available and sizes are inclusive, going from cups A to H.
At the flagship store, you can also find vintage-inspired nightwear designed by London fashion label Ghost London, as well as Rosie Exclusively, the lingerie collaboration with British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Marks & Spencer’s flagship store is at 01-01 Wheelock Place, 501 Orchard Road.
