Shop S'pore-designed jewellery inspired by artefacts from Asian Civilisations Museum

SINGAPORE - Fashion and art have always been closely intertwined, and a new home-grown collaboration is bringing that relationship to the fore.

The Textile and Fashion Federation (TaFF) Singapore and The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) have partnered to present The Museum Collection, a first-of-its-kind collaborative retail initiative featuring home-grown and Singapore-based designers.

Pearl speciality label Pearly Lustre's nine pieces ($88 to $288) - including earrings, necklace, and bracelets - are inspired by antique jewellery pieces from Asia, and given a fresh spin with pearls.

Founders Caroline and Wilson Tan started the brand to make pearls - once the preserve of royalty, the wealthy or elder women - a more inclusive gem that is not limited by age and class.
