The Gem Museum is proud to be invited to participate at the Singapore Jewellery and Gem Fair (SJGF) 2017 for their 5th year. There are more than 150 exhibitors from 19 countries including Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Myanmar, USA and Hong Kong. Exhibiting with the Diamond Exchange of Singapore, the exhibition aims to educate the public on the value of gemstones from mining to market.
Early detection of breast cancer could save lives. In order to promote breast cancer awareness, the exhibit features 3 sets of lingerie specially designed with precious diamonds and gemstones created by The Gem Museum.
* Pink Bloom – made with 1 piece of Ruby (0.49ct), 27 pieces of Tourmaline (21.47ct) and 22 pieces of Diamond (12.02ct).
Pink Bloom reflects the central theme of breast cancer awareness. It speaks of women empowered to take an active role and blooming in the pink of health. It features a simple flower design set with pink and red gemstones such as pink tourmaline and ruby. Diamonds are included to signify the blooming shine of the empowered women.
* Glowing Gem – made with 10 pieces of Pearl (10.51g), 19 pieces of Spinel (21.79ct), 29 pieces of Sapphire (22.32ct) and 6 pieces of Diamond (1.16ct).
Glowing Gem speaks of women shining brightly in the darkest times. It features beautiful gemstones that can naturally glow in the dark under ultraviolet light. These gems are diamonds, unheated sapphires, red spinels and Akoya and Mabe pearls. Most minerals do not exhibit fluorescence effect. Only about 15% of minerals have fluorescence visible light. The gemstones on this set of lingerie would be exhibited in a dark room illuminated with ultraviolet light.
* Blossoming Strength – made with 31 pieces of Jade and 46 pieces of Diamonds (14.25ct)
Blossoming Strength speaks of women cancer warriors who hold the fort and stand strong to fight against adversities. It is set in an armour-inspired design using precious A-jade pieces and champagne brown diamonds. Jade has the hardness of 6.5 – 7, similar to that of stainless steel, and is an extremely tough material that had been used to make weapons like neolithic knives and axe heads. It symbolises toughness and strength.
The Gem Museum stands together to support their partners in their efforts to promote breast cancer. Partnering with Parkway Cancer Centre, the centre will sponsor 1 mammogram for marginalised women under the care of Bloomback for every 5 pink bell jars sold at
