The Golden Tesserae Collection is a contemporary jewellery series inspired by the rich visual heritage of Peranakan culture. Drawing influence from the intricate geometric motifs found in traditional Peranakan tiles and the elegant architectural details of Singapore's historic shophouses, the collection reinterprets these cultural elements into wearable pieces crafted in gold and Akoya pearls. Tesserae are the small pieces used to create mosaics.
Designed as a modern heirloom collection, each piece celebrates craftsmanship, heritage, and timeless beauty while offering a refined aesthetic for the contemporary wearer.
