One of the pieces in the private banker's edit used to belong to Elizabeth Taylor
The allure of shining diamonds and precious jewellery is something few women can resist. Private banker and restauranteur Serene Chua agrees—she admits to having a long-term fascination with beautiful gems and sparkly bling.
Jewellery to her is not just a form of adornment—it is also a mode of self-expression. “Growing up, I was very introverted and painfully shy. So, because of my shyness, my personality really came out through other things, like my creativity…I’ve got an appreciation for beauty and things that are shiny. That eventually evolved into collecting jewellery,” said Serene.
