Launched in 2020,
romantic fine jewellery
collections crafted by hand
in Singapore
Lechelle Petite began as a hobbyist jeweller's sharing of her creations on instagram during the lockdowns of the global pandemic in 2020. Discovered by British Vogue and L'Officiel, it was not long before Lechelle Petite grew into a well-loved official atelier based in Singapore. A lover of art, Michelle collaborates with artists from around the world to create one-of-a-kind designer wearable art pieces of the finest handmade quality. The collections heavily feature luxury pearls -- capitalising on Michelle's access as a direct distributor of luxury akoya pearls from Japan. Each piece is meticulously and thoughtfully designed to enhance natural beauty and timeless romantic elegance.
​
Akoya Pearls
the ethereal gemstone
Lechelle Petite is part of the akoya pearl supply chain and our access to a wide variety and range of luxury akoya pearls is unparalleled.
Cultivated and processed in Mie & Kobe, Japan, our pearl strands are handled by experienced Japanese pearl masters.
Pushing boundaries
between handmade &
fine jewellery
Years of experience with mix media and handmade art has culminated into beautiful pieces masterfully crafted by Michelle. Every new creation is opulent but petite & tasteful. Details are beautiful up-close, yet every piece is designed to complement, rather than overwhelm a look. Lechelle Petite's creations are meant to be built into every woman's (or man's) individual style & look. Living life with some panache and colour, is our passion.

Hello there!
Thank you for visiting my world of beautiful!
I am Michelle and I design every single piece on this page by hand. I have been working on jewellery professionally for more than 10 years now, since I was in my teens. Back then, my label "JChelle" was featured in Singapore's national papers the Strait Times and the Today Business supplement. JChelle was recognised as one of the pioneer online enterprises, and I a pioneer online entreprenuer.
A little more on my personal journey. JChelle closed when I left Singapore for the UK and Sydney, Australia, to further my studies. I chose to pursue my passion and a career in Foreign Affairs and diplomacy. After serving as a foreign affairs analyst for a number of years, I then made a difficult but meaningful decision to leave the diplomatic service to join my family business in education. It would mean working more closely with the communities in Singapore and bridging the gaps in education. Though it was an extremely emotionally-trying decision -- I truly loved being an analyst and a diplomatic envoy -- the decision was definitely a God-led one that led to great joy.
Today, I not only have the honour and joy of working with the next generation of Singapore, but I am also able to carve out time to return to my first loved hobby of creating fine-jewellery for ladies. Education and nurturing young minds excites me, while creating beauty inspires and gives me rest.
As a hobbyist creator, I make jewellery pieces in small batches and endeavour to work creatively with both local and international artists. I want to disrupt the jewellery scene and redefine luxury -- producing unique collectibles that are of quality, and completely accessible to any lady regardless of age and background.
Timeless, ageless and romantic.
Lechelle Petite jewel drops are highly versatile, attention-grabbing but never overdone. They beautify you through your professional workday and add pizzazz to your glittery nights out. Ladies who appreciate boldness, beauty, joy and fun, but also treasure clean lines and great thoughtfulness.
I hope you love my little treasure trove and may it fill yours with great joy. Style every piece into your own look and make it yours! Then please share those looks with me! It is a great source of inspiration, joy and much love for me.

I wish you only the best in all you do and may your life be always filled with progress, love and joy.
