With a deep respect for heritage and an eye on the future, Gina Philips is leading the family business into its next chapter—one defined by craftsmanship, connection, and contemporary elegance
Famously known as a woman’s best friend, diamonds have long been seen as symbols of love, strength, and permanence. Cherished for their brilliance, rarity, and timeless allure, it’s no wonder they are often the gift of choice to celebrate the enduring qualities of a meaningful relationship. But perhaps even more precious is the bond between mother and daughter—a connection defined by quiet resilience and shared memory; a relationship that evolves over time but remains constant at its core.
Bringing together the two is luxury jewellery house Amee Philips, whose legacy is now being reimagined by the founder’s daughter, Gina Philips. Raised among vivid gemstones, design sketches and her mother’s unwavering commitment to excellence, Gina grew up immersed in the quiet glamour and precision of the atelier. Now at the helm of the brand’s Singapore boutique, she is charting a bold new course: one that honours her family’s heritage while speaking to the sensibilities of a modern audience.

This generational transition marks a significant new chapter for Amee Philips. With a focus on digital storytelling, visual branding, and refined design, Gina brings a fresh lens to the brand, while staying grounded in the values that have long set it apart: integrity, craftsmanship, and genuine connection. Her direction has brought renewed attention to signature collections such as the Amee line, featuring a patented V-Clip mechanism that transforms pendants into earrings, highlighting the brand’s emphasis on versatility without compromise.
At the heart of the maison’s quiet evolution is a unique mother–daughter collaboration. While creative differences are inevitable, they are also productive. “Sometimes we see designs differently,” Gina shares. “But that tension leads to beautiful results. Often, we create both versions to serve different client preferences.” Their partnership reflects the very essence of the Amee Philips brand: a seamless balance between timeless and contemporary, legacy and reinvention.
As Amee Philips deepens its presence in Singapore and beyond, it continues to remain a destination for connoisseurs of coloured gemstones. Individuals seeking not only rarity and luxury, but intimacy and storytelling. “We’re not just selling jewellery,” Gina says. “We’re sharing stories, artistry, and a little magic with every piece.”
