Earlier this month I mentioned that Miu Miu opened a store at in Singapore at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. This week another big name had its grand opening at the ultraluxurious resort. The first De Beers flagship store in Singapore opened with 200 of Singapore's elite in attendance to view one-of-a-kind haute jewelry creations especially flown into Singapore for the occasion. François Delage, Global CEO of De Beers Diamond Jewelers, and Tay Liam-Wee, Chairman of Sincere Watch, the Brand's partner in Singapore were joined by one of Asia's top female stars, Karen Mok to cut the ribbon. Mok wore the De Beers Pear Collar, a dazzler of 678 matching pear shaped diamonds totaling over 122 carats. To complement the Pear Collar, she also wore the Cocktail Fizz earrings and a five-line ring made of woven lines of diamonds.

The Singapore flagship store opening also saw the unveiling of the Talisman Wonder and brand new Swan Lake High Jewelry collection featuring fancy shaped white and fancy coloured diamonds. he Talisman Wonder is a one-of-a-kind piece featuring 691 rough and polished diamonds including a 17-carat rough diamond. Also on exhibition at the Singapore store opening were the famed Princess Lea Collection, and an incredibly rare collection of fancy colored diamonds including a 3.21-carat fancy vivid blue pear shaped diamond with a retail price of $6 million. The Princess Lea collection includes the Princess Lea necklace, a piece featuring over 315 D colored diamonds all IF and VVS in clarity and including a magnificent perfect 8.5-carat D-IF pear shaped diamond. Totaling almost 90 carats, this $3 million necklace took over 1200 hours to create.
