Wykidd for Soo Kee Collection: Black diamond necklace, $20,348
White diamonds - every girl knows are her best friends. But black diamonds? Yes, they can be your next new bunch of best friends.
You may know by now that Wykidd Song has collaborated with Soo Kee Jewellery to create a range of black gold and diamonds. They seem to be the antithesis of a good sparkler, but these gems show off an understated elegance that would make them look comfortable adorning any neck or finger.
Wykidd adds:"I was initially influenced by the abstract geometric shapes of flowers, and the kaleidoscope of colours they represent. Then I began to look at the roots and soil, the dark element of earth, which black represents. "
Some of the designs are whimsical with coloured gems and geometric floral forms. But the addition of black gold and diamonds breathe a new found elegance. It's exciting to introduce a non-colour, adds a bit of an edge."
Wykidd's favourite piece from this collection is the black diamond necklace (See above).
For more black jewellery, look out also for Elliot & Carmen at Singapore's JewelFest. It carries Asian-inspired jewellery, and its signature piece that will be featured during the exhibition is a necklace made of black diamonds.
