What are the materials used during customisation?
We utilize 18K (750) gold and Platinum (PT950) while shaping our designs. We use Champagne Gold (Natural White), White Gold, Rose Gold, Yellow Gold and even Black Gold based on what the design demands.
Wondering if you should choose 22K or 24K gold for custom jewelry or gemstone settings? Most fine jewellers, whether local or international, recommend 18K gold. Why? It strikes the ideal balance between gold purity and durability, offering the highest gold content that’s also strong enough for daily wear. You could opt for a lower karat, like 14K, to save a little, but would you really want to compromise on quality for the sake of a few hundred dollars?
Are the gemstones and diamonds used in the setting natural?
Yes, we only use natural coloured gemstones and real diamonds. We do not sell synthetic nor lab-grown gemstones(or diamonds) or use them in our designs. In fact we often do quality checks on our diamond to be ascertain that they are natural real diamond.

Planning early always helps. The process of customisation usually consumes 10 to 12 weeks from the date of confirmation of the design by the clients. In certain situations that involve intricate work, the process may take as long as three months or more. Do note that on certain festive season such as year end Christmas or Chinese new year it may take longer time.
