9 Stores For Stylish & Affordable Jewellery
If you're shopping for delicate demi-fine jewellery to add to your wardrobe, check out homegrown jewellery brand Mondays Made, created in 2023 by founders Sheaufen Tay and Sharlyn Koh.
It carries pretty pieces with whimsical touches, from vermeil jewellery to ones crafted with natural gemstones and moissanite. Best-sellers include the garden-themed In Full Bloom collection (we love the cheery sunflower designs), as well as the timeless and versatile "Moments to Hold" series starring twinkling moissanites. The latest Carved by Nature series stars four distinctive stones: Malachite, Lapis Lazuli, Pink Opal Copper, and Rainbow Oyster Spiny Turquoise. Choose from a coin spinner ring, a reversible coin charm, and a necklace in silver, gold and rose gold finishings.
Thoughtful details and functionality have been woven into the designs, like the adjustable bracelet and necklace chains with a slider for easy adjustment and a proprietary magnetic closure that keeps the extra chain from dangling.
Price range: From $69 for a ring to $139 for a necklace
Visit Mondays Made at #01-K8 The Centrepoint or shop on its website.
