The lattice design of the Ban Zu jewellery is emblematic of motifs found on the fine Chinese wares traded in the eponymous Ban Zu, a thriving port settlement in ancient Singapore. The Chinese voyager, Wang Dayuan wrote about Ban Zu during his visit to the island in the 14th century and his journals formed one of the few records documenting the early history of Singapore.

Utama Lacquerware Collection
Featuring a majestic lion, the Utama Collection is a nod to Sang Nila Utama, whom as legend has it, saw a mighty lion when he arrived in Singapore and named the island “Singapura”, or “Lion City”. The meticulous line-work illustration depicts a lion framed between the clouds and the sea, and wearing the crown of Sang Nila Utama, which was symbolically thrown overboard to secure the safe passage to the island for Singapore’s first Ruler.
