Modern Peranakan Jewellery Pieces You Can Wear Every Day

Poh Heng’s latest additions to the elegant Legacy Collection features mood-boosting gemstones with heritage designs that can be worn with any outfit, for any occasion.

How does one meld the past beautifully with the present? The answer lies in the form of jewellery – specifically, the Legacy collection by homegrown jeweller Poh Heng.

As its name suggests, the Legacy collection pays tribute to Singapore’s rich traditions, but in a refreshing and modern way. Its inspiration? Our local Peranakan culture.

Pamela Seow, assistant general manager at Poh Heng, shares: “Our Legacy Collection is inspired by the distinct look of floral tiles found in Peranakan households. It is a modern take on historic pieces – displaying the intricacies of Peranakan design while retaining a simple and modern silhouette.”

The Poh Heng Legacy collection, featuring floral motifs and mood-boosting gemstones, pays tribute to Peranakan heritage.

The Legacy Collection was first launched in 2019. While the previous two installations, featuring precious stones, are more suited for special occasions, this latest installation is designed with the modern woman in mind, and for everyday use.

In a nod to Peranakan tradition, each piece features intricate floral motifs made in 18K yellow and rose gold. Lending a contemporary touch to the recognisable motifs are vibrant, mood-boosting gemstones such as lapis lazuli, malachite, agate and mother of pearl.

Seow adds: “The collection’s clean and modern shapes are representational of modern times, while the intricate floral designs remind us of our traditional roots.”

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Peek into any traditional Peranakan home, and the first thing that strikes you is the bold use of colour on the walls, tiles and homewares. And the third installation of the Poh Heng Legacy Collection clearly reflects that with its use of vibrant hues that evoke the richness of the Peranakan culture.

You’ll love: The Legacy Pearl Pendant

This dreamy piece features an iridescent mother of pearl pendant set in an intricate rose gold floral motif frame and adorned with a round diamond in the centre – perfect for those romantic souls who believe in love and happily-ever-afters. Instead of wearing your heart on your sleeve, keep this mother of pearl jewellery close to your heart to enhance feelings of love and bring good luck. 

Pair this piece with a flowy, prairie dress to bring out the free-spirited you. Style it solo to make a simple fashion statement or layer it with additional gold chain necklaces of varying lengths. The perfect additions? Make a wide brimmed hat and ankle boots part of your wild, dreamy ensemble.

You’ll love: The Legacy Agate Drop Earrings

If you’re a creative soul who loves to dabble in the arts – be it writing, photography or design, the Legacy Agate Drop Earrings are the perfect statement piece for your daily ensembles. The agate gemstone will help get your creative juices flowing as it’s said to improve your concentration and mental function. 

Keep all eyes on you, and your brilliant mind, by pairing these vibrant earrings with a crisp white shirt tucked into a pair of perfectly faded high-waisted jeans. Try adding oversized glasses and a printed silk bandana (tied at the wrist) to further enhance that classic yet artistic vibe. If you’ve got more than one ear piercing, introduce simple gold hoops or diamond studs to make an even more creative fashion statement.

You’ll love: The Legacy Malachite Bracelet

With its striking green hue, the Legacy malachite bracelet is a standout statement piece for any trendsetter. If you love to experiment with new styles and make a bold statement, the malachite is your gemstone equal. An instant confidence booster, it is said to stimulate your thinking, keeping your mind clear to aid in your important decision-making processes. 

Let this piece shine when paired with a bold mix of tonal bright colours and abstract prints that stay true to your eclectic sense of style. Turn up the fashion factor even further by punctuating the outfit with additional pops of bold minimalist gold jewellery, such as a cuff necklace or cocktail ring.

You’ll love: The Legacy Lapis Lazuli Pendant 

You’re in your happy place when you’re close to nature, be it lush greenery or flowing waters. And that is why you’re drawn to the Legacy Lapis Lazuli Pendant, an elegant piece that features the majestic lapis lazuli gemstone. A water element, lapis lazuli helps release stress, bringing a sense of peace to keep your nature-loving heart content. 

The Duchess of Cambridge was recently spotted wearing a lapis lazuli pendant, so you’ll be in good company when you don this elegant design! Channel your inner royal by pairing the pendant with a printed tea dress with subtle micro-floral prints. Set in a delicate yellow gold floral motif frame and adorned with a round diamond in the centre, the blue gemstone also boasts naturally occurring gold flakes; a perfect fit for your inner princess.
