State Property is an award-winning contemporary fine jewellery label, designed for the world with a proudly Singaporean touch.
Founded by a jeweller and an industrial designer, the brand marries modern approaches to design with the enduring quality of traditional craftsmanship.
Our work draws from culture, literature, and history, but it’s an innate sense of wonder that breathes life into our signature creations. These designs juxtapose structured silhouettes in precious metals with the soft textures of the body, elevating fine jewellery into wearable art that resonates.
Now available in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, State Property is quickly gaining an international following, with admirers including Michelle Obama, Nicole Kidman, and Lady Gaga.
THE FOUNDERS
Lin Ruiyin is an award-winning jeweller trained in Central St Martins in London under the tutelage of industry heavyweights in the contemporary jewellery scene, and whose personal works are part of gallery collections in London.
Afzal Imram was trained in Industrial Design at the National University of Singapore by leading designers and thinkers in Singapore, with personal works that have been exhibited in Milan, Paris, and Singapore.
Jewellery to them is the perfect platform not only to play with the boundaries of both art and design, but also to explore the complexity of the human body and individual personality.
To quote art historian Damian Skinner’s Contemporary Jewelry in Perspective, “The body moves in the public domain, and makers hope their work will piggyback on this mobility in order to engage with reality, be relevant, modern, activated.”
