Bespoke jewellery from BIA

The Christmas and New Year festivities are now happy memories. But the year is far from old. It’s the perfect time to give a twist of the new to the now. To dress up a favourite with a dash of freshness.

Shake out the lavender sachets from the off-shoulders. Bring out the wispy chiffons. And wear them anew with bespoke jewellery from Kumkum’s BIA label.

Grab that black evening dress — yes, the one that makes you feel like an Oscar-contender — and knock on Kumkum’s door. In her new avatar, former clothes designer, Kumkum gives you what the high street shops can’t: Custom-made jewellery covering the entire gamut from coy Victoriana to boho chic. In stunning silver or more precious metals, with gems or without.

Peer into her treasure chest to be dazzled by ropes of South Sea pearls, watery blue aquamarine dingle-dangles, ebony quartzite chains, dazzling diamond brooches and more. Match the dress with rocks in red, blue or gorgeous green. Flaunt that plunging neckline with strands of pink tourmaline.

In a hurry? Choose a unique creation from rows of velvet-lined jewellery trays nestling on the shelves.

Shine.
