SK Jewellery marks Singapore’s landmark Golden Jubilee with
a never-before-seen exhibition titled Transcending Gold at ION Sky.
The special event was opened today by guests-of honour Mr. Teo Ser Luck, Minister of State, Ministry of Trade and Industry and Mayor of North East District, Mr. Prakash Shah, Director of World Gold Council Far East and Mr. Albert Cheng, Adviser to World Gold Council Far East, together with Mr. Peter Lim, Chairman of Soo Kee Group and Mr. Daniel Lim, Executive Director of Soo Kee Group.
Affirming its status as the leading 999 Pure Gold jeweller in Singapore, SK Jewellery boldly pushes the boundary, and goes beyond gold jewellery with the ground-breaking concept of Art-Pairing, which bridges the link between visual art and the tradition of gold jewellery. The exhibition’s concept also recognises the close bond and mutual respect between artisanal gold jewellery designers and craftsmen, and artists, as their works inspire one another.
“The Transcending Gold exhibition is a deeply meaningful event for SK Jewellery, as we boldly champion the innovative concept of art-pairing and launched many ‘firsts’ in this exhibition. We also mark the Golden Jubilee through our support of the local art community and have worked exclusively with five of the most talented local artists to produce art work inspired by our signature 999 Pure Gold jewellery pieces,” said Mr. Daniel Lim, Executive Director, Soo Kee Group.
The five local artists were presented with some of SK Jewellery’s most iconic 999 Pure Gold pieces for inspiration for their art work. In line with SK Jewellery’s tagline “Beautifully Crafted, Meaningfully Told”, the artists were not only visually stimulated by the intricate 999 Pure Gold pieces but also immensely moved by the stories behind their creations. Through their extraordinary vision and unique interpretation, the artists have produced stunning and inspired art pieces especially for the Transcending Gold exhibition.
The artists include renowned local artist Andre Tan, whose work, titled “Grace of the Phoenix”, was inspired by a magnificent 999 Pure Gold Grace of the Phoenix Si Dian Jin from SK Jewellery’s popular 999 Pure Gold Bridal Collection. Other prominent local artists include finger-painting artist Adeline Yeo, who will be painting ‘live’ at the event blindfolded, fashion illustrator Grace Ciao, watercolourist Foo Kwee Horng and Frank Zhen.
As part of their continued efforts to engage local artists and show their support, SK Jewellery has also announced that they will be making a donation of S$10,000 from the proceeds of the sales from the SG50 Golden Jubilee 999 Pure Gold Bar Collection to the Autism Research Centre (ARC)’s Care and Share Program. The donation will go towards ARC’s collaboration with Pathlight School’s Artist Development Programme to uncover artistic talents in students and develop their potential.
SK Jewellery unveils many never-before-seen pieces especially for the exhibition. Setting the benchmark for SG50 memorabilia is SK Jewellery’s brand new 100-gram 999 Pure Gold SG50 Golden Jubilee Gold Bar, titled The Golden Legacy.
Measuring 30 cm x 12 cm, the gold bar is the largest of its kind and features a juxtaposition of iconic images from the past five decades of nation-building. It cleverly tells the story of how Singapore grew from a humble third-world country to a first-world metropolis in chronological order from left to right.
In addition, guests at the exhibition will be greeted by a magnificent 999 Pure Gold wall mural, made entirely of 500 gold bars, featuring the image of Vanda Miss Joaquim, from the jeweller’s SG50 Golden Jubilee 999 Pure Gold Bar collection. As a creative and visually impactful art piece, the 999 Pure Gold wall is created to reflect the jeweller’s immense pride as a home-grown brand and represents the jeweller’s hopes for Singapore.
SK Jewellery also presents a giant 999 Pure Gold statue of Disney Cuties Minnie Mouse, measuring 42 centimetres in height. Weighing 3.8 kilograms, the Disney Cuties statue is crafted using the latest 3D technology, with extra attention dedicated to create the exquisite details on the statue.
In addition, Transcending Gold showcases many signature pieces from SK Jewellery’s six key 999 Pure Gold collections, including its Treasures Collection, Baby Collection, Gifting Collection and Mod Gold Collection.
