The lack of modern South-east Asian jewellery in the market is what prompted the SG fine jewellery label to get things started in October last year. Its latest showcase: bangles for contemporary times, inspired by South-east Asian cultures. Designed here, but produced by artisans in Thailand (the country is more experienced in and better equipped for making jewellery), they come in three designs (Hue, Iskandar and Lotus), and in 24K gold or rhodium. From www.forbiddenhill.com with free courier delivery islandwide. Or you can make an appointment at customer.service@forbiddenhill.com to visit the brand’s showroom. $195-$285 – ST
