Raffles Bracelet
Paying homage to the architecture of Singapore’s grand dame, the Raffles Bracelet captures the city’s colonial charm and tropical modernity in one refined piece.
With a palette of white verandas, palm-lined courtyards, and soft afternoon light this is a classic design with a modern heartbeat.
About
Our iconic Singapore bracelets celebrate the places, people and moments that shape us. Our elasticised Singapore bracelets are handcrafted using Japanese glass beads and 24k gold plated beads. They are a modern keepsake the kind you wear long after you’ve left a place but want to keep your memories there close.
Size
This bracelet comes in two sizes 16cm and 17cm in length. If you need a size different from this, please get in touch and we can create any size you need or add it to the notes section when you checkout.

Care Guide

To maintain the longevity and shine of your bracelet, remove it before swimming and showering and avoiding contact with creams, lotions and fragrances.

The People Behind the Craft
At Strait Lights, our bracelets are more than just an accessory. To us they are a story of craft, community, and empowerment. Our makers are women from low-income families in Singapore, and we believe in creating opportunities that provide fair wages, skill development, and long-term financial stability.
a modern talisman
For centuries, people have worn talismans as reminders of what matters most, love, protection, and our relationships to the world around us. These objects hold stories, emotions, and history in a form that can be carried every day.
Our bracelets are a contemporary take on this concept. Each piece is handcrafted, inspired by real places, real moments, real memories. Whether it’s walks through the botanic gardens or the shophouse lined streets of Joo Chiat, quiet mornings at Tanjong Beach, or the silver steel of the city skyline, our bracelets are designed to hold meaning beyond the materials they’re made of.
we make high vibe gifts
At Strait Lights, we believe that exceptional design transcends aesthetics; it embodies responsibility and mindfulness. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our minimalist packaging, crafted from FSC-certified materials and locally sourced paper from RJ Paper in Singapore. We also measure and offset our carbon footprint through Trace, ensuring that our products support both people and the planet.
The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.
