About Us

Beauty-enhancing, Heirloom Treasures

Lechelle Petite began in Singapore as a conversation about beauty — specifically, why it had to cost so much to feel genuine?

We love our precious metals and could make all our ready-to-wear in solid gold, but chose not to.

Not because we can't, but because gold has a fluctuating spot price, and we don't think you should have to worry about that when you're buying something you love and plan to keep. Instead, we use a fine blend of silver and palladium, and an 18k gold overlay to achieve longevity and precious quality.

Lechelle Petite is jewellery you buy for yourself. Not an investment you're intending to sell but an asset because it highlights your beauty and elevates your sparkle. Something that fits your life, made to a standard you can feel the moment you put it on.

The craft is the same regardless of what the metal costs. We believed then, as we believe now, that a piece of jewellery chosen with a good eye and made with real craft is worth wearing every day, not saving for special occasions.

So we built a world where that was possible.

A word from Michelle

Dearest Clients and Friends,

Thank you for visiting our world of beauty.

I started Lechelle Petite because I believed beautiful jewellery shouldn't require a special occasion or a special budget — just a good eye.

The foundational vision of Lechelle is that jewellery is the most useful and enduring part of a well-considered wardrobe. It completes the outfit, and enhances a woman's natural beauty with colour, sparkle and thoughtful expression. As a former career-foreign political analyst in the diplomatic circuit, I appreciated how jewellery made an impact and enhanced its wearer's presence.

My mission was always to make high jewellery and fine jewellery accessible to every woman, to experience having impact and sparkle. We work to share our point-of-view: versatile jewellery that can be worn romantic, or styled into poised and polished looks.

We craft wearable art for women who are sharp when it matters and wonderfully themselves the rest of the time.

In 2024, Lechelle Petite was officially commissioned to design for HRH Princess Hitachi of Japan and Mrs Kishida, the former First Lady of Japan by our embassy. It was the commission that meant more to me than any other — and the one that confirmed what I had always believed: that jewellery made with genuine intention is recognised, wherever it is worn. The continued trust in our work has allowed us to present our orchid "Petale D'or" to HRH Princess Takamado in 2026, as well as have our jewellery collections presented at the esteemed Sakura Charity Gala in Tokyo, Japan.

We've now dressed women across four continents now and we hope every piece brings all cosmopolitan women great joy.

With warmth,

Michelle Joycelyn Tan

IS Lechelle Petite ethical?

Every Lechelle Petite piece moves through petite studios in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Thailand — work is completed and quality-checked in Singapore, where our standards begin and end. Our stones are lab-grown, sourced from reputable suppliers. Beautiful by design, not by extraction.

Our akoya pearls come from family farms in Ise-Shima, Japan — coastal communities that have harvested and traded pearls across generations, in waters they have protected for just as long. We choose these farms deliberately. The sustainability of Ise-Shima's waters is not incidental to what we do. It is the reason the pearls are what they are.

We believe that how something is made is inseparable from what it becomes. So we invest in the people and places behind every piece and we hold ourselves to the standard of improving, always, in every part of the process.
