Orchard Road, the Bustling Street of Singapore for Food, Shopping and Finding Your Dream Wedding/Engagement Ring

Please tell me more about it!

Please read information below to know more.

Introducing the must-visit spot for food and shopping in Singapore, the long stretch of road with tons of shopping malls, food places, bars, and hotels. Due to the small size of Singapore, all the action is available in the heart of town. Covering 3 MRT stations, Orchard, Somerset and Dhoby Ghaut, you can find all sorts of food, bars, shopping, and activities along Orchard Road! Let me bring you a guide to covering Singapore’s most hip area!

A shopping paradise, Orchard road

Get off at Orchard MRT station, and you will find yourself lost and confused as it is surrounded by two big shopping malls and underground walkways. To prevent overcrowding on the streets of Orchard Road, the Orchard area does not have a lot of crosswalks; instead, they have underground walkways where you can get lost. The main underground walkway from Orchard MRT brings you to Marriott Tang Plaza, where the famous Marriott Hotel is situated. Turning left into the underground walkway will lead you to Far East Plaza, Scott’s Road and Shaw House. However, please do not panic and ask any of our friendly Singapore passers-by for directions.

On one side is ION Orchard, where you can find luxury brands such as Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Dior, Louis Vuitton and many more—tired from shopping? Head down to Level Two of ION Orchard where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a cup of premium tea with a high tea set of freshly baked scones and savoury goodies with your friends or significant other at Singapore’s very own TWG Tea Salon. Not your cup of tea? (Pun intended) Head further down to Basement 4 where you can find a variety of cuisines that are inexpensive and delicious! Try our famous Hainanese Chicken Rice, Hokkien Noodles, and many more local dishes inside Food Opera!

Here we come, Wisma Atria

On the other side of Orchard MRT, you can find Wisma Atria, another shopping mall where you can chill with your friends with the delicious food available there. Level 2 has Paris Baguette where you can get sandwiches, danish, cakes and salad. Besides Paris Baguette, you can try an Alice in Wonderland themed restaurant with velvet plush sofas and dim, romantic lighting. Their foie gras pasta is a must-try there as well as their wide variety of cakes.

At Level 4, you can find a Food Court with delicious local food and my favourite Japanese restaurant in Singapore, Koh Grill and Sushi Bar. Their Sashimi is super fresh, and you must try their signature “Shiok Maki”, a sushi roll stuffed with unagi, avocado, and cucumber and wrapped with a thick piece of salmon before its signature sauce is poured on and blowtorch. Incredible. Wisma Atria has many fashion and jewellery stores for you to shop in. Branded goods like Tory Burch and Coach are located on Level Two whereas jewellery stores like ours are located in Basement One, right next to the MRT. Just a 3minute walk from the MRT along the Basement of Wisma Atria, you will be attracted by the sparkling, glittering, welcoming exterior of our VENUS TEARS store.

VENUS TEARS at Wisma Atria

VENUS TEARS store at Wisma Atria recently opened in February 2020 and received much praise and popularity from its customers!

For example, you can see every spike on the back of Gengar and the cute expression on Pikachu’s face. Do you know that there is a difference between female Pikachu and male Pikachu? The end of a female Pikachu’s tail is shaped like a heart whereas a male Pikachu is straight. Our skilled and experienced craftsmen have replicated such fine details too!

No worries, we guide you step by step on how to create your one and only ring!

We make and design our rings with our customers in mind, let us know how you would like to make this ring uniquely yours and we would do our best to make it come true for you. See a ring design that you like? We can customize the material of the band and the claw, and choose from a variety of materials from Platinum, K18 Yellow Gold, K18 Rose Gold or K18 White Gold. Many of our rings are two-toned as well so choose from your favourite combination. Make the ring into something special by engraving your initials, anniversary date or significant other’s name on the inside of the ring as well as a secret inner gem! Whether you are looking for something plain and simple, vintage, extravagance, unique or elegant, we have all the selection for you!

Let us share with you about a Diamond Ring, GIA, 4Cs

As our rings are customizable and made-to-order in Japan, we differentiate ourselves from our local competitors that we do not have ready-made rings that you can purchase on the spot. It would usually take a minimum of 2months for the ring to be ready for collection. So please do come down early before your wedding/proposal to choose your designs and diamond. All our diamonds in our shop are internationally certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) which grades the diamonds according to its Carat, Color, Clarity and Cut, also known as the 4Cs. Carat refers to the size of the diamond so usually that’s what most people look out for first in an engagement ring, followed by the other 3Cs depending on your budget. If you are unsure of where to start when looking for a ring, our friendly and professional staff would be delighted to help you navigate your way around our wide variety of engagement and wedding rings.

Many more places to explore on Orchard Road!

Stepping out of our store, you can cross the underground walkway that connects Wisma Atria and Takashimaya Shopping Center. You can find a lot of well-known luxury items here at Takashimaya Shopping Center. Owned by the Takashimaya Group, you can find many things related to Japan there.
