Bon bons in a gem
We all used to be dazzled by Christmas bon bons that come in shiny wrappers once upon a time. Now perhaps grown women will not be that impressed if you gave them gourmet sweets for Christmas. But, Bon-Bon, a new collection by Italian jeweller NANIS, is sure to impress. This is the perfect gift for your wife. They are colored charms made of natural stones and yellow gold boules engraved by hand, available at Goldheart Jewel Galleria at ION Orchard. Prices range from $1,688 to $8,348. No doubt, it is going to be a splurge but you know your queen deserves to be pampered. Besides, the gem-sets are highly versatile; they can be worn for day or night with almost any outfit.
