Artisanal Jewellery Handcrafted Right Here In Singapore?

RULE OF THREE

“She is clothed with strength and dignity, she can laugh at the days to come.” So reads the verse in the Book of Proverbs that homegrown label 3125 gets its name and inspiration from. Six years ago, LASALLE graduate Caroline Goh turned her school project into an independent enterprise with the aim of instilling confidence in other women through the medium of jewelry. Sourcing materials like natural gemstones and freshwater pearls from Southeast Asia, Japan, and China, Caroline crafts every item by hand in her studio along Jalan Sultan, with designs built around themes such as fruit, flowers, seashells, and the like.

Made with upcycled glass beads and pearls gathered during Caroline’s wanderings overseas, the new YOU line comprises one-off creations in buoyant shades, each necklace reflecting the unicity of its wearer, while the refreshed Charms & Hoops collection features petite pendants of differing shapes and semi-precious stones that can be threaded onto earrings for an extra dash of fun. What’s more, 3125 donates 10 per cent of all proceeds to Tamar Village, a non-profit that supports youth at risk in Singapore, so you’ll look good and do good at the same time.
