Treasure's Trove@ 8:59 AM
Each "One of a Kind" piece is individually handcrafted
About Us
Treasure’s Trove is a home base business started by Irynn Owyong and Chloe Tan, a mother and daughter team who are avid lovers of arts and crafts and all things beautiful. Irynn has been in the ladies’ fashion business for about 20 years and has vast experience in designing prints for fabric materiel and lingerie. God’s gift of creativity and experience thus made her colour combinations and style unique and tasteful.
On the other hand, Chloe as a child adores her mother’s unique sense of style. She would always watch Irynn work and often look forward to the visits to Irynn’s clients at boutiques, departmental stores and even to overseas buying trips. Chloe thus picked up the love for fashion and all things beautiful. It didn’t take long before her intuitive design and creative sense got her started to design prints for Irynn and handbags for her aunty. Both mother and daughter are constantly enchanted by eclectic designs they often see in the fashion world both locally and from overseas.
While attending church at Trinity Christian Centre, Irynn was given the opportunity to serve in the designing and decoration of the church buildings during Christmas, church events and weddings. As usual, the whole family got involved as well and thus Chloe has no lack of opportunity to display her creativity as well. In fact in the last 2 years, she was involved in designing the Christmas decorations and trees.
When Chloe fell ill for few years now, she took up music, painting as an emotional outlet before discovering her new found passion of jewelry designing and making. Therefore what started as a therapeutic hobby now becomes a business for Chloe. She finds great joy whenever she sees someone falling in love with one of her piece of jewelry that she finds matches the style of that one unique person. It gives her great satisfaction and confidence in herself.
What Sets Us Apart…..Our Unique Designs
We believe every individual is unique and special and understand their own style and individuality; therefore we do not just follow trends merely because they are in vogue. Neither are we gratified with just making pretty pieces or what is norm kind of jewelry.
Through our creations we strive to reflect our wearers’ own unique personality and style by offering unique, beautiful and inspirational hand-crafted designs that are personal and timeless. As such, in our creations we follow our hearts and not the rules.
As artisan jewelry makers, all our jewelry is hand-crafted – from conception to finished product. Our designs are passionately weaved using a bold palette of combined special semi-precious stones, fine quality crystals besides Swarovski crystals, pearls, unique Czech and Japanese Glass, fire polish crystals, natural and sometimes man-made beads and materials, so as to accent and compliment the designs.
Our creations are hand-crafted using innovative techniques to ensure that they are sturdy and durable that can withstand frequent use. Our jewelry is limited in quantity as we do not mass produce any of our pieces. This is to ensure exclusivity for our buyers. Even for remakes, please note that we will not make them to be 100% the same.
Customizations are welcome for that special one-of a kind gift to complete that special outfit.
Remember: There's only one you. Celebrate uniqueness.
