The significance of jewellery goes beyond materiality. In this issue we explore family ties, female empowerment, brand advocacy, and how they are articulated in jewellery

In SOLITAIRE’s first issue of 2023, we explore new jewellery trends, technology and material breakthroughs. In our interviews, we speak with Paige Parker, our first lead profile who shares her personal jewellery collection and her gemology journey as a GIA Graduate Gemologist, on top of being a podcast host, author, philanthropist, and an NFT advocate. We also speak to Céline Assimon, the CEO of De Beers Jewellery, about the morality of diamonds and jewellery in the age of digitisation. Closer to home, Michael Koh, Founder of homegrown jewellery Caratell, has embarked on a new journey to develop a microchip for our jewels.

Solitaire celebrates the festive season the best way it knows how – with fun, opulent, and luxurious jewels that are indeed merry and bright.

Join us on a fantastical journey in this edition of Solitaire as we highlight high jewellery masterpieces, intricately carved gemstones, and the most exciting trends. Plus: An in-depth look at the Watches & Wonders 2022 releases.

Solitaire’s summer holiday special celebrates fantastic destinations and beautiful jewellery inspired by some of the world’s most exciting countries. Happy reading and even happier travels!

Beyond the glitz of gold and the glamour of precious stones, jewellery as a luxury item is going through an evolution.

This issue of Solitaire allows for a peek into the exciting and ever-evolving future of jewellery: From eye-opening designs and trends to technological advancements and promising names to watch out for.

Watch drama unfold as you go through this issue of Solitaire, which celebrates the grandeur, colour, and fabulosity of the newest high jewellery collections.

This issue of Solitaire is a celebration of design; of the unforgettable forms jewellery takes on through the imagination and hands of talented designers.

This issue of Solitaire is a celebration of the jewellery brands we love and also includes a comprehensive guide on one of the travel destinations on the top of our list – Switzerland.

This issue of Solitaire celebrates jewellery through a "modern classics" lens - with a focus on the new high jewellery collection from Mikimoto, the revival of ancient jewellery techniques, and a wide array of earring styles to keep an eye out for in 2021.

To help uplift the spirit and engage the imagination, we look to fantasy for this issue of Solitaire. Jewellery, with its brilliant colours and imaginative forms, will allow for a glittering and hopeful view of the months to come.

While we are still celebrating jewellery associated with weddings in this issue, the idea behind the theme "Lasting Union" also takes on a completely different meaning at this time. The stories here will remind you of the lasting commitment jewellers have with their craft, clients, and the people that depend on them.

Shining the spotlight on subtle statements — a fine selection of jewellery that boast minimalist shapes, classic styles, and clean lines perfect for everyday.

In this issue of Solitaire, we celebrate what we truly love. We aim to find romance in artistry, exquisite creations, and the unexpected; to fall in love with stories and ideas behind jewellery creations and magnificent timepieces.

As the world around us changes, the state of luxury is in flux as well. For some, its has gone beyond material goods and instead, replaced by experiences or a state of mind. In this issue, we explore the different ways brands and consumers are approaching it: From jewellery enthusiasts buying pieces on their own terms to new and creative applications of luxurious materials like gold and platinum.

The allure of the unknown, the new, and the exotic is intoxicating. It
draws all of us like moths to a flame, especially when we attempt to understand
something that’s usually beyond our comprehension. And this is exactly what we want to highlight in this issue of Solitaire.

Jewellery is more than just a finishing touch — it's a lifestyle. This is something we've highlighted in the revamped version of Solitaire, so allow us to present this issue with the theme "Feast for the Senses", which will hopefully excite and inspire as you flip through the pages. Marvel at beautiful works of art in the form of statement earrings; at the imaginative forms of the latest collections launched in Paris and Las Vegas; at the exquisite craftsmanship each respected brand we've chosen to feature boasts. Finally, immerse yourself in our newly introduced lifestyle stories that will allow you to fully indulge in the fine art of jewellery and living.

Welcome to our bridal issue! As always, we celebrate the modern bride the same way we honour wedding traditions. It’s interesting to note that each culture has its own interesting custom when it comes to bridal jewellery — take a look at four of our favourite global brides. To keep you in the loop on what’s new and covetable for your wedding needs, we asked some industry experts to give us a lowdown on the latest bridal trends — from flowers and cakes to wedding gowns and bridal jewellery, of course!

For our 100th issue, Solitaire pays tribute to the amazing jewellers that we have worked with during the past 16 years, whose stories and journeys inspired, touched, and motivated us in ways that often go beyond the sparkle of the jewellery we write about. From Australia and Italy all the way to the US and Vietnam — from big, famous brands to up-and-coming designers, we explored the world to find them and share their passions and stories with all of you.

For most women, diamonds still shine the brightest. From Dior and Bvlgari’s new collections, to Nicole Kidman’s favourite diamonds pieces, this issue — our DIAMOND EDITION — is packed with all things pretty and brilliant.

As always, our Festive Edition is full of fun and exciting ideas on how to make your holiday season all the more bright and dazzling. From industry leaders’ jewellery gifting tips, to stunning stocking stuffers and fashion features, our carefully curated contents for the festive season are enough to get you in the holiday mood.

As a nod to our Asian heritage, fine jewellery legacy, and traditional craftsmanship, we shine the spotlight on some of our talented local jewellers and sought-after jewellery brands and collections. From the unmistakable Asian-inspired designs and inspirations to our homegrown designers who are making a mark internationally, we take pride in bringing you Solitaire’s October-November Edition, with a distinctly Eastern flair.

For our annual Colours Edition, we celebrate life and jewellery in the most vibrant of ways. From Bvlgari’s new Wild Pop collection to Singapore jeweller Simone Jewels’ tribute to poetry and Hong Kong’s bespoke jewellery offerings, we let colourful fine jewellery creations take the spotlight. Delight in our flora and fauna-inspired jewellery curations, or take a cue from our transition season’s fashion features. Before summer officially bids farewell, let us help you enjoy its last remaining days with our delectable Colours issue.

While saying “I do” — with love and commitment in mind — wearing a fabulous dress and stunning jewellery in front of friends and family is still very much the norm, most brides these days prefer to ‘customise’ their wedding, allowing their own personality to shine through the whole affair. For our Bridal Edition, we celebrate the modern bride, one who isn’t afraid to defy convention and set her own trend. From unique wedding gowns to unconventional wedding jewellery, this issue is filled with ideas and inspirations to help you ‘own’ your wedding look.

To celebrate the warmer days ahead, we pay tribute to the season’s trendiest and warmest hue — GOLD. From one-of-a-kind statement necklaces to dainty, stackable pendants, nothing packs more punch in the style department than your good-old and decadent gold jewellery. For our annual Gold Edition, we feature Italian Jeweller Fope’s popular flexible gold jewellery pieces and New York Jeweller Rebecca Koven’s intricate and wearable art. Check out the latest collections from Piaget, Chanel, and Bvlgari, which highlight the classic beauty of this favourite precious metal. And last but not least, join us as we explore India, The Land of Gold – and its enchanting cities and top fine jewellers.

Recent surveys reveal that almost 50% of women would rather prefer to receive long-lasting gifts - a hint for something sparkly, perhaps? - still, 70% of them admit that they don't mind receiving flowers on Valentine's Day. Well, why not give them both? After all, every woman deserves flowers and, yes, diamonds - not only on special days.

‘Tis the season for holiday soirées! Whether you love your understated LBDs or are partial to vibrant, glam looks, the holiday season is all about celebrating with panache. From Boucheron’s winter-inspired collection and Louis Vuitton’s new iconic high jewellery, to our favourite statement accessories, our Festive Edition will inspire you to show up in style.

Wearable pieces that carry Eastern traditions and cultural significance have enduring global appeal, bridging the gap between east and west, one fine jewel at a time. For this issue, we pay tribute to the brands, designers, and inspiring jewellery collections that promote the beauty of our beloved Asia.

Dive into the deepest blues of sapphires. Delight in the intense reds of rubies. Or relax in the cool greens of emeralds. This issue, we celebrate the wonderful world of coloured gemstones. From Chaumet’s Summer Spirit collections to Rihanna and Chopard’s colourful collaboration, our latest Colours Edition is all about the beauty, spunk, and intensity of our beloved vibrant gems.
