Dior’s crowning jewel
Dior’s latest acquisition is an exceptional diamond that it christened after its historical Parisian address at 30 Avenue Montaigne. Recut from a 150-carat rough diamond found in 2020 at Kimberley mine in South Africa, Le Montaigne’s (above) precise 88.88-carat weight pays tribute to the number “8” that has long been a cherished symbol at Dior.
Displayed in the new boutique for its inauguration, the intense yellow diamond shines with an incomparable clarity and brilliance. It will eventually be mounted on a custom-made piece designed by artistic director of Dior Joaillerie, Victoire de Castellane.
Fred’s force to be reckoned
French jeweller Fred, known for its nautical-inspired creations and modular designs, returns to Singapore after a two-year hiatus. Displayed at its new Marina Bay Sands boutique, also its largest Southeast Asia flagship, are new bejewelled creations that have never before been presented in Singapore.
