Singapore Neighbourhood Bracelets — Raffles, Orchard, Botanic Gardens
Strait Lights makes a series of bracelets named after Singapore's most recognisable neighbourhoods — Botanic Gardens, Raffles, Orchard, River Valley, Emerald Hill. Each design uses a different combination of beads, cord, and finishings that nods to the character of the neighbourhood it's named for: greens and naturals for Botanic Gardens, deep reds for Emerald Hill's Peranakan shophouses, clean metallics for Orchard. Every bracelet comes in 16 cm and 17 cm sizes.
Handcrafted inside Singapore by a working jewellery studio. The designs are original — Strait Lights is the only studio producing them — which is why these bracelets have become a signature Singapore gift for tourists who want something beyond a Merlion keychain.

Why these bracelets make a distinctive Singapore gift
Named for real neighbourhoods
Every bracelet carries a Singapore place-name and visual reference — Botanic Gardens, Raffles, Orchard, River Valley, Emerald Hill. Not random fashion jewellery; a gift that actually means something in Singapore.
Designed and handcrafted in Singapore
Strait Lights is a Singapore studio. The bead selection, cord, and clasps are sourced and assembled locally — not factory-made and re-branded.
Two sizes, direct pricing
Every design comes in 16 cm and 17 cm sizes. Avendi stocks the same catalogue at the same prices Strait Lights charges on their own site — no tourist-district markup.
Frequently asked questions about Singapore bracelets
What is the meaning behind each Strait Lights bracelet?+
Botanic Gardens uses greens and earth tones to echo the UNESCO-listed garden. Raffles features a cleaner, more formal palette referencing Singapore's colonial-era civic heart. Orchard picks up the district's metallic, modern retail character. River Valley uses blues and neutrals for the riverside. Emerald Hill leans into deep reds and Peranakan colours of the Katong / Joo Chiat shophouses.
What sizes are available?+
Each design comes in 16 cm and 17 cm. 16 cm fits slimmer wrists (roughly up to 15 cm wrist circumference); 17 cm fits average-to-larger adult wrists. If you're between sizes, the larger one is usually the safer choice since the clasp sits at the end.
Are the materials hypoallergenic?+
Most of the bracelets use brass, plated metal, or sterling silver hardware with glass, natural stone, or wooden beads. If you have a specific allergy (nickel, latex), check the individual product page — Strait Lights lists the exact materials on each SKU.
Can I gift-wrap these?+
Strait Lights packages every bracelet in its own branded box suitable for gifting — you don't need separate wrap. If you want a handwritten gift note included, add it to the order notes at checkout.
Which bracelet is the best seller for tourists?+
Botanic Gardens and Raffles are the most-requested, probably because they reference the two most-photographed attractions in Singapore. Emerald Hill has a strong following among visitors who've spent time in Katong or Joo Chiat and want something more cultural than scenic.
