More Than Diamonds – sleek and versatile custom jewellery
More than Diamonds is a jeweller that will tell you that “Biggest is not the best”. Chris and Sara have been creating jewellery in their own style for the past decade. While they custom design according to each person’s ideas, many clients seek them out for their distinct minimal style, not often found in Singapore.
They source diamonds and gemstones to your requirements and can design anything, from engagement and wedding rings, to anniversary gifts or a well-deserved treat for yourself. Bring along pictures and describe your ideas – or let Chris and Sara suggest a suitable design for you, following a friendly chat. In line with their simplicity, they don’t upsell. Rather, they provide design-led and wearability-minded advice.
In addition to designing your own custom jewellery in Singapore from scratch, More than Diamonds can also use your own diamonds and gemstones. With that, you can redesign an old piece of jewellery into a piece that you want to wear. You’ll be surprised how different a gemstone from an old-fashioned ring can look when set in a new design!
