Kristine Goh, Gabrielle Tan, Najwa Mokhtar and Sarah Shahdan exude radiance and confidence, dressed in the latest Bvlgari Serpenti Seduttori watches

Luxury jeweller and watchmaker Bvlgari is known for putting a spotlight on feminine strength through its beautiful creations. Since the 1940s, its Serpenti range of watches and jewellery can often be found coiled and draped on some of the the world’s most glamorous and wealthiest women, including Elizabeth Taylor.

Making its debut in the Serpenti line this year is the Serpenti Seduttori, a collection of watches that continues to embody the maison’s style-meets-substance philosophy.

A tribute to the magnificence of gold, the collection features styles in all three shades: rose, white, and yellow. It takes a certain type of charisma to carry these fine pieces. With that in mind, we've selected 4 stylish and dynamic women to share their stories of success, glamour and strength, qualities also embodied by the Serpenti.

What does the phrase ‘going for gold’ mean to you?

My interpretation is that it can refer to choosing what’s real, concrete, and authentic— be it making friends or deciding on important life choices.I was recently blessed to have made a few close friends. Despite our diverse backgrounds, we connected and we like how straightforward, genuine and compassionate our friendship has evolved.

How do you feel when you wear beautiful jewellery?

I feel humbled. One does not wear jewellery to feel important but to celebrate a piece of art that one is privileged to wear.

I think jewellery is a bit like spice. Add too much and it overpowers the woman. Sprinkle just enough and it complements what’s already there. It reflects who the woman is and how she achieves her goals in life.
