When Emma Reimersma said she was heading on vacation we couldn't help but picture her deep in the heady wanderlust of South East Asia wearing some of our Celestial collection.

Discover how Em styled our pieces including the Sunburst Earrings, Celestial Charm Necklace and our Artisan Necklace. We adore how she linked the 2 chains to make a longer drapy necklace for a more relaxed vacation feel.

Welcome to our first issue of Travel Diaries: postcards from the muses who inspire us, wherever the road has taken them. We talk slow mornings and sun-warmed afternoons, found treasures and favourite corners of the world, the pieces they carry with them, and the moments that changed how they see it all.

In Emma's words she is happiest experiencing life, travelling, eating, discovering different cultures, learning, laughing, making memories being somewhere with salty hair, no fuss and a little luxury. We couldn't agree more...

 

There’s something so special about wearing incredible pieces while travelling. Somehow, they make every moment feel a little more meaningful, a little more elevated — and over time, they become part of the memories themselves.

I love the idea that beautiful jewellery can travel with you. That each piece becomes connected to a place, a person, a celebration or a special moment, holding a little piece of the journey long after you’ve returned home.

Singapore

Singapore was such a beautiful chapter of our family holiday.

I wore a maroon and pink dress from Wolfgang to high tea at Raffles with my mum, Gloria, my sister Mandy and my daughter, Magnolia. Having 3 generations of women together would have been special enough, but sharing such a beautiful afternoon at Raffles made it feel truly unforgettable.

There are some moments in life that you know you’ll remember forever — and this was one of them.

 

While we were in Singapore, we stayed at the Pan Pacific on Raffles Boulevard, which was incredible. The club facilities were amazing, and one of my favourite rituals was enjoying French champagne at six o’clock every evening. We’d sit together, talk about the adventures of the day, laugh, share stories and plan what we would discover next.

Travelling with the whole family is always about finding something that makes everyone happy, and Singapore delivered. We visited Universal Studios, explored the incredible Gardens by the Bay and spent time at the aquarium.

And then there was the rain!

One afternoon, a spectacular Singapore thunderstorm arrived while we were in Gucci. The downpour was so intense that we were happily stuck inside for an hour and a half. My mum, my sister and I decided to make the most of the unexpected detour — and all three of us walked out with a little something special. Sometimes the best holiday memories are the ones you never planned.

We also shared a very special family lunch at LAVO Italian Restaurant at the top of Marina Bay Sands, overlooking Singapore’s incredible contemporary skyline.

Bintan Island, Indonesia — Banyan Tree

After six beautiful days in Singapore, we took a one-hour ferry ride across to Indonesia and the breathtaking island of Bintan, where we stayed at the incredible Banyan Tree.

Our villa was perched high on the hill, surrounded by lush forest with spectacular views stretching across the South China Sea. Below us, enormous granite boulders rose dramatically from the water, creating the most extraordinary natural backdrop. It truly felt like we had arrived somewhere completely untouched and magical.

Our Indonesian-style villa was beautiful, with an enormous private pool and plenty of space for all six of us to relax and enjoy being together.

Life slowed down almost immediately.

Our days became a beautiful rhythm of long, lazy breakfasts, swimming in the different pools, wandering along the beach, delicious meals and simply spending time together. We had an incredible day snorkelling, discovering colourful little Nemo fish beneath the crystal-clear water, before returning to more delicious food and plenty of laughter.

 

After the excitement and energy of Singapore, Bintan was exactly what we all needed. It was our chance to exhale — to put our feet up, reconnect as a family and enjoy the luxury of having nowhere we needed to be.

There was something incredibly restorative about those days. The kind of rest that goes deeper than simply taking a break. Time together, surrounded by nature, beautiful food, warm water and the people we love most.

It was the perfect little slice of paradise — and another beautiful collection of memories to take home with us.
