Jamie Chua: A Glitzy Life with a Touch of Love
When you scroll through Instagram, you see a whirlwind of designer gowns, glittering chains and the ever‑sparkling smile of Singapore’s elite socialite, Jamie Chua. But behind the perfectly styled photo‑ops and high‑fashion wardrobe lies a surprisingly tender, familial side.
From Glam to Grandma‑Glimpse
During our chat, Jamie’s usual polished aura faded the moment we shifted gears to talk about her daughter, Calista. The conversation turned quick and gentle, as if the world had suddenly dropped the glossy filter.
A Tale of a Heart‑Shaped Heirloom
-
“I slipped the idea of a heart‑shaped solitaire pendant into my mind a decade ago, it was just a nine‑year‑old ripple with the hope of a future casserole of sparkles.”
-
“When I had Calista’s age, I used my savings to buy the pendant and matching ring at a jaw‑dropping $300,000. I’d love to give my little girl a grand gesture.”
-
“All of my precious jewellery eventually becomes part of her treasure trove, yet this specific set carries a production line of a mother’s love (“All”right” mentioned that）の s “”).
The Emotional Adornment
With a sparkly ring set in a heart‑shape, this piece symbolizes the much‑larger gesture of a mother’s love – more valuable than the glitter and gold that inhabits it. The mother naturally has a killing touch of design – that’s it, the end; as I posted her image with these captions that made her love me more personally.
Bottom Line? That ball!
Jamie’s public profile may shimmer with endless luxury, yet her real treasure is the affection she lovingly gifts to her daughter. That’s a lesson we should keep: beauty doesn’t have to stand alone – it thrives as though living and hurting.
Heart‑Shaped Rarity: A 44‑Year‑Old’s Legacy
Picture this: a 44‑year‑old who normally skips the quirky heart designs, but when she looked at her daughter Calista, the gem felt just right. She wanted something timeless—an heirloom that could survive family circles for years without losing its charm.
Why a Classic Piece?
She’s all about that classic look. The style is so simple, so refined — that’s why she believes the piece will stay fashionable even in the next generation.
Passing Down Meaning
- “I hope Calista eventually passes this piece on to her daughter too,” she confides, dreaming of a new family tradition.
- She grew up in a modest home, “We never had a lot of jewelry,” she says. It’s the reason she’s collecting now—to compensate for the time she missed.
- “Our focus is on meaningful heirlooms, not flashy bling,” she adds, looking forward to the next chapter of her family’s story.
Keeping the Spark Alive
In a world of fast‑fashion sparkle, she’s carving space for enduring elegance. Her treasure isn’t just a stone—it’s a story of love, resilience, and the hope that the next generation will treasure what she did for her.

When She Hinted at Her Mom’s Investment Diamonds
Picture this: Calista’s mother decided to drop a whole set of glossy, investment‑ready jewellery onto her girl’s doorstep when she was just a youngster.
“I was very young when my mum bought this set for me, so I didn’t particularly appreciate the meaning behind it,” she reflects. She’s been pretty candid about her feelings around inherited treasures.
- No Objections to the Family Heirlooms: She says she’s open to carrying forward jewellery, clothes, or bags.
- Until She Grows Up: “I don’t like fancy things right now, but that might change when I’m older—I’ll probably cherish this jewellery set more then.”
While she’s not quite ready for the bling lifestyle yet, Calista hints at future excitement for those sparkling treasures.
