The weeks leading up to the Lunar New Year festivities are an exciting time, with those who celebrate finding themselves busy with all sorts of preparations.
In the midst of it all, don’t forget to squeeze in some self-care, and for some, that means shopping.
Apart from the perfect looks for the season and the right shoes and bags, be sure to set aside some time to pick out jewellery to complement your looks.
Nothing says festive like an opulent-looking ring, so let Habib’s Conch Pearl and Diamond Ring, set in 18K white gold, inspire you.
Conch pearls are exceptionally rare, and to find even one, the search can involve 10,000 to 20,000 shells, making them a coveted gem among collectors.

Striking pendants are the “less is more” of accessorising – with the right one, you don’t need much else to make an impact.

Another chic choice when it comes to necklaces is Gucci’s Tiny Dragon Enamelled Charm necklace.
