Poh Heng presents a new, elevated collection consisting exclusively of pièces uniques with a wide range of design influences

For over seven decades, Poh Heng has dazzled clients with its myriad creations, and built a reputation for being the gold standard in trust and reliability. As it grows from strength to strength, the jeweller has also evolved alongside its customers. One needs only to look at its jewellery collections, which are becoming ever more sophisticated in creativity and craftsmanship, as well as its newly revamped design-approach to their boutiques. The brand is now on the cusp of a wider transformation to even better serve its clients. To that end, it has introduced Poh Heng Couture, a new line of jewellery that embodies luxury and exclusivity through rarefied designs and production techniques.

Poh Heng Couture was conceived to showcase the jeweller’s best and most unique creations. As such, each piece of work from the line is one-of-a-kind, whether it’s an elegant fine jewellery bracelet or a maximalist high jewellery necklace. Design inspirations are varied, and range from chinoiserie to minimalism and even post-modern architecture. The breadth of influences here is matched by the craftsmanship on display; from gem-setting to gold filigree, every piece here is a stunning—and entirely unique—work of art.

Unsurprisingly, Poh Heng Couture has been making waves since its launch. One recent highlight was the opening night of Jeweluxe, where the Couture collection scintillated on the necks, wrists and décolletés of models walking the Lai Chan runway showcase. 

With every creation being a pièce unique, Poh Heng Couture’s line-up is constantly evolving. Here are some noteworthy works.

This statement piece consists of a lace-like bib necklace crafted in 22-karat gold, which is accentuated with additional flash-cut diamond beads and gold beads on one side for an asymmetric sensibility. Thanks to its fabric-esque construction, the necklace drapes effortlessly to follow its wearer’s neckline.

Best worn as a complete, coordinated set, the Odyssey is a series of four pieces that celebrates Poh Heng’s jubilee. The creations are thematically linked by intricate filigree work, which was used to create the delicate floral motifs, as well as their common silhouette. In addition, the necklace, pendant and bangle bear the “VII” hallmark that alludes to Poh Heng’s seven decades in the business.

A minimalist twist necklace at first glance, the ORO22 necklace has a bold yet simple design that exudes confidence, just like its wearer. It is actually an interpretation of the Möbius strip though, thanks to the half twist that presents itself front and centre. This clever design vocabulary is hidden in plain sight, but will reveal itself to eagle-eyed observers.

Poh Heng presents another set of matching jewellery pieces in the Voyage series, this time with a play on colours. By matching yellow 18-karat gold with white gold, then accentuating this combination with diamonds and blue sapphires, the perfect balance of warmth and cold is created to match any skin tone. The set presents different guises depending on the distance—while the unique colourway of the pieces offer visual interest from afar, examining them up close reveals details that were previously invisible.

La Signora d'Oro (lit. “The Gold Lady”)

A masterpiece that was handcrafted in 22K gold by local artisans exclusively for Poh Heng’s showcase at JeweLuxe, La Signora d'Oro is a high jewellery creation that’s worn like a cape. The epaulette-like detailing starts off on the shoulders, before continuing down to reach the lower arms as finer, daintier chains.
