you’ve grown up seeing in Singapore when you wear jewellery from Poh
Heng’s Garden Sonnet jewellery collection which features orchids,
bougainvillea and more familiar flowers
(L-R): Garden Sonnet Bougainvillea, $2,380, Garden Sonnet Ixora, $1,280, Garden Sonnet Kopsia, $3,880 and Garden Sonnet Malabar, $780. All images: Poh Heng
To give these gems a life-like appearance, the Poh Heng Garden Sonnet jewellery line renders each petal and vine in three dimensions. You can feel the arch and curve of each pendant, elegantly crafted in stylised representations of Singapore flowers.
Highlights of the collection include the Garden Sonnet Bougainvillea (seen on the left above, $2,380) which features a delicate swirl of bougainvillea flowers on its diamond-studded pendant. A trio of rubies represent the natural fuchsia vibrancy of these flowers, while making the flowers sparkle. The pendant’s three-dimensional effect makes each flower stand out too.
The periwinkle (pictured above, top right) is featured on a gold oriental fan pendant ($1,160), while the flowers of the Pong Pong tree adorn a delicate basket of yellow gold on the Garden Sonnet Cerbera ($510).
The
oft-heard description of Singapore as a “garden city” ‒ coined by
Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew when he first imagined the ideal city
landscape in 1968 ‒ has become reality with flower-bedecked roadsides
and new attractions like Gardens By the Bay.
Now, you can wear a personal piece of the
garden city with Poh Heng’s Garden Sonnet, a jewellery collection
inspired by these familiar flowers.
