Capturing the Singapore spiritRisis began in 1976 with a simple idea of encapsulating orchids in pure gold, which was then transformed to jewellery. Today, the brand has expanded to include key chains, plaques, mementoes and more. This National Day, the Liuli Vanda Miss Joaquim necklaces come in orange, royal purple and emerald green. Also worth a mention is the Singapore Heritage Merlion plaque that is made using gold foil printing and features the iconic Merlion and orchids. These make great gifts for overseas clients and friends.
