echo Jewellery. So simple and subtle, and yet, it makes a world of difference when it comes to taking an otherwise mundane outfit to a whole new level.
In the jewellery edition of our ONzz Malaysian Urban Brands Online series, Sunway Echo Media is proud to be spotlighting six lovely homegrown jewellery brands that deserve some love, just in time for Chinese New Year too!
The Straits Finery
If you’re looking for fine jewellery with a trendy modern twist, check out The Straits Finery! Their gorgeous Malaysian culture-inspired pieces are exclusively made with solid 14K gold, perfect if you’re the type who leaves their jewellery on all the time. Why 14K gold, you may ask? 24K gold is crazily expensive, while regular jewellery often causes allergic reactions, so 14K gold is the perfect compromise – it’s 58.5% pure gold mixed with alloys, so we still get the positive qualities of gold, but at a reasonable price point!
With the impressive range of jewellery available, Straits Finery has something for everyone – whether you like ornate tassel earrings that catch the light or dainty necklaces with beautiful iridescent mother of pearl charms.

To sweeten the deal, The Straits Finery throws in free shipping for orders above RM150.
VLT
There are few Malaysian jewellers who do diamond jewellery at an affordable price, and VTL is one of them! Their solid gold jewellery (take your pick from 14K and 18K gold) features twinkling diamonds in various styles. Some of their earrings are suitable to be worn on the cartilage too – perfect for those of us who are looking to bedazzle their upper ears!
VLT’s breathtaking Privé collection has exquisite jewellery pieces with lustrous South Sea pearls as the star of the show – just see for yourself!
But if their ready to wear pieces don’t tickle your fancy, VLT offers custom and bespoke pieces too!
Plenty
Love all things minimalistic? Then Plenty is the right place for you. They have the best minimalistic and cute jewellery along with reasonable prices for those who wanna look boujee on a budget. Just from their Instagram, viewers can look at their wide variety of fashionable and aesthetic demi-fine jewellery (jewellery that has been crafted using precious metals and techniques such as vermeil plating).
Plenty also encourages its customers to take good care of their jewellery by raising awareness and providing tips on jewellery care.
