You don’t need to sacrifice your savings plan to sparkle in real gems and precious metals. Local Singapore and Singapore-based designers are creating affordable jewellery that’s also super stylish. You get real pearls, gemstones and precious metals like gold, silver and rhodium at prices that make it easy to hit “add to cart”.
So how do they do it? Singapore actually has a long history of jewellery manufacture, so many of these designers have access to expert craftspeople who can handle tricky techniques like gold vermeil.
This is an ancient technique where genuine gold is applied in a thick layer over real silver. Vermeil jewellery, also called “gold-filled jewellery”, is called “demi-fine” jewellery because it is filled or plated with more gold than cheap “flash plated” items. The gold layer in gold vermeil jewellery can be up to 1,000 times thicker than flash plating, so it’s much more lasting. Many of these brands also work with craftsmen from neighbouring countries like India and Indonesia to realise their designs using ancient silversmithing methods to craft well-made jewellery that lasts.
These affordable jewellery brands in Singapore offer the option of one-off designs or limited edition ranges, so you can be sure you won’t see your gorgeous necklace or ring on everyone else. Whether you’re looking for dainty rings, a dramatic cuff bracelet or a stylish gemstone pendant, keep scrolling for our list of affordable jewellery brands by Singapore designers.

A ring in pink Rose Quartz gemstone is used to attract love. Yellow Citrine gemstone is believed to attract prosperity, joy, and energy. The rings and earrings are gold vermeil or white rhodium.

18. Pearly Lustre – for contemporary pearls
Caroline and Wilson Tan use freshwater pearls, which are naturally produced in mussel shellfish. Each pearl is natural and unique, plus there’s always something new on the website because the designer duo create one new design every day, with natural pearls set in sterling silver and 18K gold vermeil.
The designs may be modern, but the designers at Pearly Lustre still follow some tried-and-tested beliefs. Wilson explains, “We use silver because it attracts negative elements from your body when you wear it. And pearls have been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years, to calm the spirit and beautify skin.”
In line with their belief in sustainability, Pearly Lustre also provides pearl jewellery cleaning, re-plating, and will restring pearl necklaces for customers.
Price: From $150 for a pair of Top Grade Freshwater Pearl studs in 18K gold vermeil
Visit Pearly Lustre’s website for more information.
19. Pyar – for inspirational and minimalist pieces
If you speak Urdu, you’ll immediately recognise that the word “Pyar” means “love”. Founder Nazneen Aziz says, “Jewellery has been the choice for people throughout the centuries to mark and affirm the sentiment of love, either as gifts or talismans. I wanted to continue this tradition with Pyar.”
Inspired by art, travel and nature, we like that many of the pieces are engraved with positive affirmations and take their form from natural objects. For example, the Love Shell necklace has the word “Love” engraved at the back, while the Breathe Shell Amulet has the reminder “Breathe” etched on the reverse side as well. Both are inspired by seashells and have a organic form and luxe finishing.
These minimalist pieces look great with a modern wardrobe or with a simple white shirt, and there’s an option to mix and match your chain lengths and types for the necklaces (cord necklaces are also available), so you can get the intended effect, especially when layering pieces. Signature pieces from Pyar included the Amanti collection that captures the texture of orecchiette pasta with each piece casted in gold-plated bronze. This comes in an elegant choker as well as in stud and drop earrings, and a made-to order, double-stranded bracelet.
Price: From $65 for a pair of Mini Gold Wavy Heart studs in 18K gold-plated bronze
Visit Pyar’s website for more information.
20. Savage Archipelago – for classic and custom gemstone pieces

Visitors to its pop-ups are even able to hand pick gemstones of their choice to have them set in the brand’s designs.
