Wedding bands are not just a piece of jewellery; they are a symbol of the love and commitment between two people. Many couples opt for customised wedding bands to reflect their unique style and personality.

Customised wedding bands offer endless possibilities to create something truly special. Couples can choose the metal, width, finish, and any special detailing they desire. They can also add engraving, which can be a special message, a meaningful date, or even a fingerprint.

One popular trend for customised wedding bands is incorporating a specific design or pattern that represents the couple's story or interests. For example, if the couple met while hiking, they might choose a wedding band with a mountain pattern. Or if they share a love for music, they could incorporate musical notes into the design.

Another option for customized wedding bands is to create a matching set for the bride and groom. They can choose the same metal and design but with slight variations to reflect their individuality. For example, the groom's band could be wider, while the brides could have a diamond or gemstone accent.

Customised wedding bands can also be a great way to incorporate family heirlooms. Couples can have their wedding bands made from a piece of jewellery that has been passed down through generations, creating a new piece that represents their love while also honoring their family history.

In summary, customized wedding bands allow couples to create a truly unique symbol of their love and commitment. With endless possibilities for design and personalization, these special pieces of jewellery will be treasured for a lifetime.

PARENTING

Modern Mums: “Different Phases Of Our Children’s Lives Require A Different Parenting Approach”

We speak to four modern mothers on navigating parenthood, what they’re doing differently, and more

by Michelle Lee  /   May 9, 2022

 

When it comes to parenting practices, there’s no doubt that it has changed over the years, especially with the rise of the Internet and social media, and a deluge of approaches and advice at our disposal. How are parents doing it now? What has changed compared to when they were kids? In conjunction with Mother’s Day, the Weekly speaks to four modern mums, on their mantras when it comes to raising their kids, how their own childhood has shaped their parenting styles, and their journey and struggles as a working mother.

“When kids are below 10, you are a teacher. When they are between 10-20, you are a coach. When they are above 20, you are a mentor,” Amanda Koo, 44, says, when quizzed about her parenting style. She also believes in treating her kids as adults when they’ve reached a certain age, including financial responsibility.

The single mother with three sons aged 12, 15, and 17 is the founder of local jewellery brand eClarity and its sub-brands, BA.sg and The Sample Line. She’s also a certified gemologist who graduated from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), and has an NUS degree in Computer Science as well as a Master’s degree in Counselling from Monash University.

Below, she shares more about having consistency in their schedules, encouraging her children to find their own voice and way in life, and prioritising family time amidst a busy work schedule.

How would you describe your own parenting approach?

1/7

Amanda Koo (AK):  Different phases of our children’s lives require a different parenting approach. When they are younger, the priority is discipline, to help them distinguish right from wrong. But as they mature, they learn that there are greys in life and this is when we assume the role of a “coach” to help show them the way, by explaining to them why things are, and to encourage them to find their own voice and way in life. I prepare myself to be a “mentor” in the next phase, and a mentor does not comment unless he or she is asked.

Fundamentally, my family takes pride in our family rules. We work hard and eat healthy on weekdays, play, relax and eat together on weekends. Children are impressionable and I take it upon myself to set a good example of what I hope they will come to value – for instance, dedicating my weekends to them. We cook and watch Netflix together on Fridays and go out on mother-sons dates and dinners on Saturday nights. This is a commitment that I never fail to deliver (and now I observe that they too automatically turn down their friends for weekend dinners), and it has helped to inculcate the value of prioritising spending quality time with family in my sons.

What parenting lessons have you learned from your own childhood and parents? How has it shaped your own parenting style?

2/7

Credit: Amanda Koo

AK: My dad expanded my mind when it comes to believing that the sky is the limit. My mother gave me only 20 cents a day for pocket money throughout my primary and secondary school days. In JC, my pocket money was in foreign currency, so I had to go to Lucky Plaza to negotiate the best deals to convert to Singapore dollars. I learnt frugality and financial planning through hard savings. I discussed ambition with my boys at a young age. Beyond that, I sat down to explore the paths leading to achieving their dreams. I did the same for my eldest son when he told me he wanted to be a defense lawyer as a teenager.

Growing up, my parents’ attention was also largely focused on building the family business. They did have their fair share of leisure time, but the business was a priority. When I became a mother, I looked to tweak my parents’ approach to raising children – by learning to let go, but at the same time, shower them with love and have fun together as a family.

I also believe in a statement that I read before – it is what you do during your free time that determines your success. Do you play games, read, code, or exercise during your free time? I think it is extremely important for children to be passionate about sports and music, which teaches them teamwork, sportsmanship, patience, and expression of emotions. My boys compete at a national level in sports (swimming and rugby) and they play the piano as well.

 

How do you react when your child is throwing a tantrum or having a meltdown?

3/7

AK: Wow, this happened quite a long time ago! I think there’s no one size fits all solution for this as every child is different. But my personal approach still stands – turn it into a joke.

My sons are more imaginative and visual in their learning approach. Once, my son sat in a Cold Storage basket, and refused to get out. I told him to pretend that he is a bird in a cage, and I am the feeder. We role-played this and I then slowly let the “bird” fly out from his cage – it worked.

What is one parenting mantra that you adhere to?

4/7

AK: I believe children require consistency to thrive. We adhere to a fixed timetable, and Saturdays are the designated family day. I also try to establish and enforce family rules. In many ways, I believe that past a certain age, children should be treated like adults to encourage them to behave like one. I sign ‘contracts’ with my kids, like outing application forms or phone update agreements and we have them agreed upon by both parties and stick them on the walls as a mark of their words.

I also believe that financial responsibility starts young. Kids want many things; they always want the newest shoes, newest watch, and so on. So, I started a co-payment system with my sons. Half of the item’s cost comes from me, and the other half from their own pocket money savings.

What do you love most about being a mother?

5/7

Credit: Amanda Koo

AK: I posted this on my social media on Mother’s Day last year, and I think it sums up my love for motherhood.

“The moment a baby is born, a mother is born too. We mum-up, from a mother holding a hand, to a mother waving her hands, to a mother having a hand to hold. In children, we learn to love.”

Do you ever get mom guilt or burnout as a working mother? How do you deal with it?

6/7

 

Credit: Amanda Koo

AK: Definitely, especially when they were younger. As such, it is important to instill discipline at a young age, with a strict timetable. Having three businesses to run, I need to focus my 100 per cent on the businesses on weekdays.

But I make it a point to send my kids to school personally every morning, so I get to check in with them for a bit before fully occupying myself for the rest of the day. When I do get pockets of time in between, I make an effort to meet with them at home, to have a quick lunch or meet up. And I outsource the rest, like cooking and cleaning. Sticking closely to our timetable, we know that from Friday night to Sunday lunch, we have that time to ourselves as a family, to do the things we love together. Once the structure is established, I no longer feel sense of guilt on weekdays, and am able to fully concentrate at work.

How do you find time for yourself in between raising kids, family and your career?

7/7

 

Credit: 123RF

AK: Sticking to a timetable, really – just blocking out time for both work and the people we love. For me, weekends are sacred and reserved for my sons and my own me-time. It is the time I give them my 200 per cent.

Channel 8 Live Interview – an Interview with our Director Amanda Koo, by Lee Yu Ting Part 2

 Lee Yu Ting: 首先可以跟我说一下这个珠宝的这个注解服务是怎样的一个服务吗？

Amanda: 顾客可以在我们的应用程序上观看到我们有超过1千样的货品然后他们选择了之后可以在我们的应用程序下订然后我们就会把珠宝送上门到他们的家然后每个月都会有不同的珠宝到他们的家里，可以给他们去佩戴自己喜欢的衣服啊，等等的。

Lee Yu Ting: 所以他是一个固定比如说他们可以任选他们喜欢的款式？

Amanda: 对，在我们超过1千样货品里面，款式当中都可以在里面挑选自己喜欢的，耳环，戒指，手链，还是坠子。

Lee Yu Ting: 有没有就是特别的种类？就是1千多样分为哪几种？

Amanda: 我们有不同的宝石，除了钻石之外，我们有红宝，蓝宝，绿宝，还有就是粉红钻，黑钻，都是很特别的一些设计。那一般上我们每个女生家里就是有固定的买了那一对耳环，那一只坠子。然后现在他们每一个月，都可以佩戴到很特别，那些平时不会买的珠宝，就不需要有这个浪费的这个成分。

Lee Yu Ting: 是什么时候开始这个服务的呢？

Amanda: 我们大概在去年8月到9月的这个月份开始，我们自己的团队设计了这个应用程序。然后，主力是觉得当时新加坡开始对于环保这个意识看得比较重。那第二呢，就是我们 17年来都在创造着不同的设计，然后通常首创版我们都不卖。首创版都是我们自己收集起来给自己可以重复的重订，那我们觉得就不要浪费资源在这个环保的意识里面，就开始了这个出租的服务.还有就是也觉得新加坡人也开始对于这个时尚感也开始比较浓厚一点，所以才去年大概8月到9月份创办了这个服务。

Lee Yu Ting: 首创版就是说sample这些展示出来给人家看？

Amanda: 对，因为eClarity是一个高端定制珠宝服务的公司通常长我们不会把首创版sample卖给顾客，他们通常来到了之后我们都会鼓励他们做一些改变，比如说本来是18K白金的可能要定做成18K红金，粉红金，黄金，或者光面换成沙面，粗度等等的都会改变。在改变了之后我们就会从做一个新的给顾客，那个首创版，自己的原创我们都不改也不卖。

Lee Yu Ting: 然后他们每个月订阅是多少？

Amanda: 因为珠宝的那个价值是从1千块，10千块，到100千的珠宝都可以出租所以我们有不同的配套。 最受欢迎的配套是99宽的，原价是199， 所以每一个月他们还99块都可以租到低过10千块的珠宝。

Lee Yu Ting: 99块算是最便宜的？

Amanda: 我们还有一个是59块的

Lee Yu Ting: 每个配套都可以租到几千的那个珠宝？还是？

Amanda: 对，所以比如说他还了99块之后，他的选择性就很大，所以那个最受欢迎。选择很多还有就是所有低过10千块的珠宝都可以租用。

Lee Yu Ting: 所以1千是所有配套加起来？有1千样可以选？

Amanda: 不是，那1千块就是那99块的配套，然后我们还有更多的，就加起来可能有2千多个吧。我们把那些做高端跟做低端的都没算进来。大概就是1千就是那个做受欢迎的系列。

Lee Yu Ting: 然后就是在这个防疫措施放宽之后，这个珠宝德租界需求有增加吗？

Amanda: 非常有持续，因为我们在3月尾4月头的时候突然之间有超过50%的增长在于那个询问还有订阅方面，还有就是本来的一些顾客，已经订阅了现在非常踊跃的会来找某某设计，希望可以配搭然后去上班

Lee Yu Ting: 你们有没有进行一些促销啊？

Amanda: 比如说母亲节，我们有个全年的配套。比如说买给妈妈的，原价是1188，现在是690. 那只要买给妈妈这个690能让妈妈想用一整年的珠宝租借服务，还能跟妈妈一起来我们这里选择想要租借的那个首饰。

Lee Yu Ting: 那你的顾客群是怎么样的?

Amanda: 我们的顾客群是从18岁到60岁的女性。那除了网红，艺人那我们有就是从事销售，property agent, sales, 各方面各行各业都有。我们最年轻的是一个17岁的 TikTok 游戏玩家，他在 TikTok 很有名，超过 1 Million 的 Followers。那他也是我们其中一个 Subscriber。

Lee Yu Ting: 那你觉得为什么他们会要租借宝石呢？

Amanda: 我觉得原因很多。第一就是当然选择很大。第二就是你也不需要配搭着非常典型的。因为可能当你要买的时候，你可能就会选择一些很安全很典型的设计但是租约了之后，你就可以每个月都换一些很特色的珠宝。比如说我们说黑钻吧，可能不是每一个人都要拥有一个黑钻戒指，但是如果我说99块可以给你订阅带一个月，那很多人都会很踊跃地询问这一个。 第三就是我觉得配搭衣服方面。比如说你知道你那一个月会有很多朋友聚会那你可能觉得你会穿红色的衣服，那你可能就可以订阅黄色的耳环来配搭那个衣服。总体来说我觉得这个共享经济也是年轻人现在非常了解跟非常能够接受的一个情况，所以大家也不一定要完全拥有能够共享的这个意识。

Lee Yu Ting: 在市场上这个算是一个首创的租界宝石的一个服务吗？

Amanda: 在我们的自己的调查里面，在新加坡好像就是完全没有这个服务。以前传统来说，你要租珠宝都是在你结婚的那一天，要么就是带首饰不然就是租那个一天的珠宝。对于这个每个月都可以订阅配搭不同珠宝的这个服务，我们应该是新加坡首创的。

Lee Yu Ting: 现在是疫情期间所以有没有做一些措施就是让顾客可以比较安心？就是因为租借的话就是要重复使用对吗？

Amanda: 对，这方面我们非常的理解，也非常熟悉。因为所有的珠宝，无论是在17年来eClarity创办以来所留下的首创版，我们也是非常小心的都会很小心的清洗，洗刷，我们也会去消毒，然后再刷亮。这是在珠宝方面非常重视的一环。

Lee Yu Ting: 为什么他们要租借呢？

Amanda: 我觉得有几个原因。第一就是这个环保意识在提升着。那么第二就是非常有时尚感的一个选择，可以配打着不同的珠宝。第三我觉得这个共享经济也是新加坡年轻人非常重视的一环。

Lee Yu Ting: 之前的那个需求是怎么样的呢？

Amanda: 其实我们算是幸运的了。在8，9月开始的时候也预料到了是一个低峰期，也没想象到有这么踊跃的需求。我们首先有兴趣的顾客群有网红，艺人，销售这个行业的女性们所以我们在短短两个月内有70多个订阅者，非常客观的。为了应付需求。

Lee Yu Ting: 然后因为这个服务需要而外的人力吗？

Amanda: 有，当然我们有我们新的同事专门负责开创这个项目。

Lee Yu Ting: 定期的那个需求增加，需要聘请更多人吗？

Amanda: 我们正慢慢观察着。首先我们已经做好准备，知道在这个开放的售后需求量会增加。如果我们继续的在人数方面继续增加的话，当然我们会需要，无论是在那个派送服务，还有就是在客服方面需要更多同事们来帮忙。

Lee Yu Ting: 所以你们不是主要做这个的，那这个占你们生意的百分之几呢？

Amanda: 目前当然是一个很小的部分现在可能是百分之5左右吧，因为我们的主力还是再买钻石还有宝石，还有就是做这个高端客厅服务。

Lee Yu Ting: 所以这个服务是不是你们在疫情期间想出来的一个方式可以帮到销售的？

Amanda: 其实真的是在这个环保的意识里面，So 我是个妈妈，那有一次我跟孩子去麦当劳要吃雪糕的时候，然后我的孩子就跟我说妈妈你不能再拿多一个汤匙了因为它会破坏这个环境。 在一个这样的情况里面，我了解到年轻人对环保的意识跟我们这个年代看环保的意识非常不一样的。那我们17年来有那么多的样版，然后也觉得这个的确是浪费资源的一个情况。如果我们可以把这一个出租出去，让新加坡人都变得更加漂亮，更加有时尚感，我觉得这个是一个双赢的一个情况。

Lee Yu Ting: 好，谢谢。
