Our Story


THE COMPANY

eClarity.com.sg is an award-winning jewellery company known for its premium bespoke engagement rings, wedding bands, and fine jewellery, celebrating love. Founded in 2005 by Gemologist Amanda Koo, winner of the 2013 Young Entrepreneur Award, eClarity offers weekly Gemological Diamond Webinars. Its subsidiary, BA.SG, specializing in lab-grown diamonds, is one of Southeast Asia's largest online retailers of certified lab-grown diamonds.

Together, eClarity and BA.SG offer over 20,000 GIA-certified natural diamonds and 5,000 IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds with live real-time options. As a leader in environmental responsibility, eClarity also launched The Sample Line, Southeast Asia’s first jewellery rental subscription service.


THE NAME

In 2000, Amanda, a National University of Singapore graduate, registered Wah Chan Consolidated Pte Ltd—a sentimental name combining her grandparents' names. After gaining experience in banking and telecommunications, Amanda pursued her dream of owning a jewellery business. In 2004, she moved to New York, earned a GIA Graduate Gemologist diploma, and launched eClarity Pte Ltd in 2005.


THE FIRST SHOP, THE FIRST WEBSITE

eClarity's first shop opened in Shaw Centre in 2005, featuring "Japanese-style" wedding bands. The company's online retail site, eClarity.com.sg, started with just 20 hits per month. Despite skepticism, Amanda's determination led to success, and the wedding jewellery market in Singapore was forever changed, with the first retail event generating $8,869 in sales.


THE ASSEMBLY LINE

In 2006, eClarity launched its "majestic designs" collection with locally set diamonds. The collection’s popularity led to rapid expansion, becoming a leader in production of high-quality, locally crafted designs. Today, eClarity's Singapore and Hong Kong service centres are home to accredited gemologists and skilled craftsmen, using cutting-edge technology for customized wedding bands.


THE EXPANSION

Word of mouth fueled eClarity’s growth, with customers praising its professionalism, sincerity, and passion. By 2007, the company expanded its offerings to include 31 trays of wedding band templates, bridal jewellery, and princess cut diamonds. The business grew rapidly, evolving wedding jewellery for Singapore’s young elite.


THE FUTURE

eClarity continues to help couples find their ideal engagement rings, wedding bands, and jewellery. By 2009, eClarity expanded its online presence to the USA, Australia, China, and Malaysia, achieving multi-million dollar turnover in just a few years. eClarity’s commitment to customer satisfaction has solidified its reputation and rapid growth.


AMANDA'S FAMILY LEGACY

THE STORY OF WAH CHAN IN MALAYSIA

Amanda’s late grandfather, Mr. Koh Kui Wah, founded Wah Chan in Malaysia in 1955. In 1975, Amanda’s father, Mr. Koo Quay Keong, took over and expanded it into one of Malaysia’s leading jewellers. Wah Chan pioneered many industry firsts, including being the first to use calculators in jewellery stores and to decorate with themes other than red. Today, Wah Chan is a prominent brand in Malaysia and internationally, with a prestigious clientele including celebrities and royalty. While eClarity and Wah Chan differ in design and production, their shared history provides valuable insights and experiences.
