The saying “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” rings true for Zoie Teo, the founder of local bespoke jewellery brand Carat 55. “I invest in jewels, but not just for myself. I buy pieces that I can eventually give to my daughter. For example, a tennis bracelet is a must-have piece you can wear every day.”
The 31-year-old shares that she gifts a different coloured stone to her four-year-old daughter every birthday. “I’ve bought her a lavender spinel and a pink sapphire. No diamonds yet! When she’s older she can choose what she wants to do with the stones. I don’t believe in toys, I believe in things that she can keep.”
