2. For the traditional at heart: Choo Yilin
Initiated by Choo Yilin, this award winning eponymous fine jewellery label’s speciality lies in jadeite. The 10 year-old local powerhouse is known for giving the traditional green gemstone a modern spin.
Yilin works mainly with Type-A Burmese jadeite. These jades are 100 per cent natural, which means that they are untreated and undyed. She also works with precious gemstones. For the bespoke service, it normally takes up to a minimum of 16 weeks to realise.
They’d also have a few ready-to-wear pieces that are available for purchase.
