Don is the founder of Diamond Ateliers. In 2019, he embarked on an exciting and heartfelt mission to establish Diamond Ateliers in Singapore. His goal was simple but ambitious—to create the perfect ring for young couples, without them having to pay a fortune. Jewelry runs in his veins. His grandfather was a retailer, and some of his fondest memories involve accompanying his father to tradeshows in his early twenties. These experiences exposed him to the intricacies of the jewelry trade and ignited a deep-seated passion for diamonds and craftsmanship. As he ventured into the corporate world, working with notable companies like PwC and Salesforce, the dream of founding his own jewelry business never waned. He saw a gap in the market—young couples in Singapore were being priced out of owning beautiful, custom-made rings. Diamond Ateliers was born to fill that gap. Don connects consumers directly with manufacturers by eliminating the middleman and keeping operating costs low. This approach allows him to offer free customizations, enabling each customer to have a truly unique ring without breaking the bank. Diamond Atelier's mission is not just about selling rings; it's about creating cherished memories and making high-quality, bespoke jewelry accessible to everyone.
