About Lechelle

Lechelle Petite began in Singapore with a simple belief: beautiful jewellery should exist for every occasion.

Established in 2020, Lechelle Petite champions original designs that blur the boundaries between handmade wearable art and fine jewellery. Our vision is to create exceptional collectibles across the entire spectrum of jewellery.

We believe every piece has its own purpose.

About Us

Beauty-enhancing, Heirloom Treasures

Some are destined to become heirlooms, crafted with large amazing natural stones, in solid gold or platinum to be treasured for generations. Others are everyday companions, pieces you'll reach for every morning, travel with, and enjoy.

For us, luxury has never been about using the most expensive material at every opportunity. It is about choosing the right material for the life a piece is intended to live. Our ready-to-wear collections are handcrafted in a fine blend of silver and palladium with a thick 18k gold overlay, offering precious quality, longevity, and the freedom to build a jewellery collection that grows with you. Our bespoke commissions are crafted in solid 18k gold and platinum, creating future heirlooms designed to last lifetimes.

The craft remains the same regardless of the material. Every Lechelle Petite design is conceived with the same attention to proportion, finish, and wearability because we believe great jewellery should be collected for every occasion, not reserved only for the rarest moments.

Lechelle Petite also benefits from our founder Michelle's direct access to exceptional Akoya pearls from Mie, Japan. Combined with our in-house design and small-batch craftsmanship, this allows us to create collections that are distinctive, thoughtful, and genuinely collectible.

Key Tenets of Beauty

Meaningful Symbolism

There is great meaning in beauty.

We believe beauty can hold something deeper — a memory, an idea, a quality we value, or a reminder of who we hope to become.

A piece may celebrate a quality already within us, mark a moment that changed us, or remind us of something we wish to carry forward.

A closer look

There is great meaning in beauty.

We have always believed that beauty is more than something we see. The things we find beautiful often carry something deeper — a memory, a feeling, a quality we admire, or a reminder of the person we hope to become.

Jewellery has always accompanied the important passages of our lives. It marks love, celebration, achievement and remembrance. It is given between generations, carried across cultures and kept long after the moment in which it was first received.

At Lechelle Petite, we see jewellery as something even more intimate: a beautiful way of giving form to meaning.

A pearl can speak of quiet composure. A flower can remind us that life continually renews itself. A piece inspired by the discipline of a ballerina can celebrate the determination behind apparent effortlessness. Jade can carry ideas of continuity, heritage and balance.

Our jewellery is explored through six ideas:

Serenity. Love. New Beginnings. Independence.

There are seasons when we need the courage to move forward. Others when determination asks us simply to continue. There are moments for new beginnings and moments when what we seek most is balance. With time, we may discover that grace is as much about how we respond to difficulty as how beautifully we move through ease — and that serenity can exist even in a life that is wonderfully full.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons humans have always made beautiful things. We keep them close because they can hold what words sometimes cannot.

A piece of jewellery becomes entwined with the life lived while wearing it: where we went, whom we loved, what we overcame, what changed, and who we became along the way.

Our Story

Dear Clients and Friends,

Jewellery has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

I began designing and making jewellery when I was fourteen, and by fifteen had launched my first jewellery brand online. It was an exciting time, and I was fortunate to be featured in Singapore's national newspapers as one of the country's youngest online entrepreneurs.

Although jewellery was my first love, I have always believed that creativity grows through experiencing the world beyond one's own craft.

I paused my jewellery journey to pursue my studies in Sydney and the United Kingdom, where I read International Law and Political Economy. Those years broadened my perspective immensely. Beyond the classroom, I immersed myself in fashion, attended fashion weeks, wandered through museums and galleries, and developed a deep appreciation for design in all its forms. I came to realise that beauty is shaped as much by culture, craftsmanship and history as it is by aesthetics.

My career then led me into diplomacy as a foreign affairs analyst before later joining my family's education business. Looking back, those experiences continue to influence the way I design today. Diplomacy taught me that elegance is rarely loud. It is thoughtful, considered and quietly confident. Working across cultures deepened my appreciation for the many ways beauty is expressed around the world, while reinforcing that craftsmanship and sincerity are values understood everywhere. Education, in turn, reminded me that the things we create should have purpose, longevity and meaning.

Throughout every chapter of my life, jewellery remained a constant. I found myself observing how a thoughtfully chosen piece could transform not only an outfit, but the confidence and presence of the woman wearing it. My perspective as a designer today is shaped as much by those experiences as it is by years spent at the jeweller's bench.

When the world slowed during the pandemic in 2020, Lechelle Petite quietly came back to life, and what began as a return to an old passion has become one of the greatest privileges of my life.

In 2024, we were deeply honoured to be commissioned by the Embassy of Japan in Singapore to create jewellery for Her Imperial Highness Princess Hitachi of Japan and Mrs Yuko Kishida, the former First Lady of Japan. It was a moment that affirmed something I had believed from the very beginning: jewellery created with genuine intention is recognised wherever it is worn.

That journey has since continued. In 2026, we had the privilege of presenting our orchid creation, Pétale d'Or, to Her Imperial Highness Princess Takamado, while our collections were also showcased at the distinguished Sakura Charity Gala in Tokyo.

Today, Lechelle Petite is worn by women across four continents. Every collection is still designed in-house with the same curiosity, thoughtfulness and appreciation for beauty that first inspired me as a teenager.

To everyone who has welcomed Lechelle Petite into your collection, thank you. Your trust has allowed a lifelong passion to grow into something far greater than I could have imagined. It is a privilege we never take for granted, and I hope our jewellery accompanies you through many of life's most meaningful moments.

With warmest wishes,

Michelle Joycelyn Tan

Founder & Creative Director

Each piece is an expression of something meaningful — a quality we possess, a quality we seek, or a moment in life we wish to remember.

As we move through different chapters, Serenity, Love, New Beginnings, Independence take on different meanings for each of us. The jewellery we choose becomes deeply personal: a reflection of where we have been, what matters to us, and who we are becoming.

Beautiful to wear. Meaningful to keep.

IS Lechelle Petite는 윤리적인가요?

모든 Lechelle Petite 제품은 싱가포르, 홍콩, 태국의 소규모 스튜디오를 거쳐 제작되며, 작업은 싱가포르에서 완료되고 품질 검사를 받습니다. 여기서 우리의 기준이 시작되고 끝납니다. 저희의 스톤은 평판 좋은 공급업체로부터 공급받은 실험실에서 재배된 것입니다. 추출이 아닌 디자인으로 아름다움을 만듭니다.

저희의 아코야 진주는 일본 이세시마의 가족 농장에서 옵니다. 이 지역은 세대를 거쳐 진주를 수확하고 거래해온 해안 공동체로, 오랫동안 그들이 지켜온 바다에서 진주를 키워왔습니다. 저희는 이 농장들을 신중하게 선택합니다. 이세시마 바다의 지속 가능성은 저희가 하는 일과 무관하지 않습니다. 그것이 바로 진주가 지금의 모습을 갖게 된 이유입니다.

저희는 무언가가 만들어지는 방식이 그것이 무엇이 되는지와 떼려야 뗄 수 없다고 믿습니다. 그래서 저희는 모든 제품 뒤에 있는 사람들과 장소에 투자하며, 과정의 모든 부분에서 항상 개선하는 기준을 스스로에게 부여합니다.
