GPDA / FIA thoughts
So in (a rather belated, in my opinion) response to the penalty given to Max Verstappen for swearing in a press conference in Singapore, (and kind of also for Leclerc's 10k$ suspended fine in Mexico), the GPDA (Grand Prix Drivers' Alliance) has made an instagram and published an open letter to the FIA asking Sulayem to "treat them like adults".
I've seen a lot of praise for this from fans, but my view on it is that it's just missed the mark, and that the drivers' alliance is in severe need of a proper union representative who isn't a driver, and is ideally a specialist of some kind. The statement is a bit flimsy in general, and doesn't really lay down any kind of demand, nor a concrete threat should the demands not be met.
There's also some (rightful) criticism that this in particular is a weird hill to die on. We saw no collective action after Qatar, where there were serious issues regarding the conditions the drivers were racing in, which caused serious concerns from both teams and from fans. There was no action over racing next to military bases, or over the right to political statements within the sport (which in actuality acts as a ban on left wing statements rather than a ban on politics as a whole: see McLaren this year). There has been no noise at all regarding the very questionable stewarding at the Brazilian GP, which had even fans noticing the flaws in the systems in place regarding delays in VSC calls, yellow flags, and red flags, particularly in cases where rain is involved. Although safety in the sport has come a long way since 2014, and crashes are very, very survivable, it seems weird to want to tempt fate with recovery vehicles on track and low visibility. There's also been no threat of collective action regarding the way the schedule is expanding to become borderline unworkable for the personnel in and out of F1.
So, the swearing ban being the deciding factor in this is a little-- weird, to say the least. But the collective action for most of these issues would probably be the drivers not racing, which isn't something that will likely ever happen because of contracts, and because the teams don't want to miss out on points, prize money, or open up a gap. Ultimately if a driver refuses to race, teams have reserves waiting in the wings, and apart from maybe 2 or 3 drivers on the grid, all would face termination of their contracts. Given that for most of them, this career is a childhood dream, and given that even without the loaded nature of this career path, they would lose their job with little education or other options outside of motorsport.
So, what does the GPDA actually need to do?
For one, it needs to make its role clear. Are we primarily concerned with safety, or with defending the right to self-expression for the drivers? The GPDA CAN do both, but they need to be clear about it. The original statement lumping in jewellery and underwear rules (imposed for safety) with the swearing ban (FIA being overly controlling) isn't great because it muddles their points.
Second, it kind of needs to expand. I would argue it needs to expand to, at the very least, reserve drivers, and ideally into the teams themselves, i.e. Team Principals and other team figures who talk to the media. This is largely to strengthen the effect of any collective action taken by giving the drivers a support system. The teams themselves are also negatively impacted by the FIA's inconsistency, and by loopholes and negligence (Sainz's penalty at the Las Vegas GP in 23 springs to mind, but there are other instances).
The FIA's main issue, as is noted by many others, is their inconsistency as well as the lack of transparency on how they actually operate. An organisation that is simply meant to be there as a non-profit governing body, in the last twelve months alone, has had allegations of race-fixing, incompetent and dangerous stewarding, covering up and allowing a high-profile sexual harassment scandal despite being implored to step in and investigate it, and the President, on top of all that, has implied in interviews that he thinks the FIA should recieve more monetary compensation for doing their jobs. As a non-profit. Whilst not disclosing where the money collected from fines is going.
But ultimately the systems in place from both the teams and the FIA and liberty media mean that refusing to race is not an option, but there has to be some form of collective action threatened or carried through or else the drivers are just shouting into a void. And ultimately, whilst I love George Russell, and think he's a great spokesperson, he's also not educated enough to lead a union, nor should it be his job.
I also think that all twenty drivers and reserves should refuse to speak in FIA conferences, like Verstappen, until the issues are resolved. Takes no revenue from the teams, or from the press, who can still find drivers elsewhere in the paddock. It takes revenue from Liberty Media and the FIA and it will take a maximum of two races for them to give in given the inconvenience it causes.
But the threat and the action actually have to be there, past an instagram infographic or a vaguely worded open letter.

Practice makes perfect
Australian violinists Brett Yang and Eddy Chen tell Executive Editor Sumiko Tan that they set up TwoSet Violin to show how classical music can be fun, and to attract the young to it
Tumblr media
Violinists Brett Yang and Eddy Chen are joking that if they must name their least favourite composer, Johann Pachelbel would be up there.
“Sometimes, some pieces are really overplayed, they’re put out of context. That gets a bit annoying,” says Yang, referring to the German composer’s pervasive Canon In D.
So you won’t play Pachelbel at your wedding then, I ask.
“Nah,” Chen dismisses.
“No way,” protests Yang. “Maybe at my funeral, you can play that.”
“But it’ll make you so angry, you’ll come out of your grave,” comes Chen’s rejoinder.
They laugh their heads off at this.
I decide not to mention that Canon In D was in fact what I had chosen to play at my wedding, and one of the few pieces of classical music I enjoy.
The two guys behind TwoSet Violin aren’t music snobs, really. They are just very passionate about classical music and see it as their mission to educate people about that world.
In 2013, the Taiwan-born Australians decided to form TwoSet Violin to make funny videos about life as classical musicians, which they posted on social media.
Their YouTube channel now has nearly four million subscribers, and the 1,300 videos there have garnered more than 1.2 billion views. There are also videos on other platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram.
Their live shows mixing comedy and violin recital have been seen in more than 20 cities, and they are planning another world tour.
There’s also TwoSet Apparel, a line of music-inspired T-shirts, hoodies and cardigans.
Their videos are both hilarious and educational. Often looking as if they had just tumbled out of bed, they discuss everything from violin hickeys (neck bruises due to prolonged violin playing; I see one on Yang but not on Chen) to misconceptions about musicians (”musical geniuses are born, not created” really riles them up.)
A video of them critiquing a Guinness World Record holder for world’s “fastest violinist” has drawn 9.5 million views. Their Pachelbel’s Chicken video, played with a squeaky rubber chicken, has 3.7 million views.
I’m interviewing the influencers ahead of their Nov 16 concert with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO).
This was a rather more serious performance. Yang played Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, and then Bach’s Concerto For Two Violins with Chen. The latter performed the closing movement of Paganini’s Violin Concerto No. 2, better known as La Campanella, for an encore.
The SSO event was sold out within minutes and its livestream on YouTube amassed more than 986,000 views in two weeks.
Yang had asked over e-mail for restaurant suggestions. I give him four and he picks One-Ninety at the Four Seasons. The hotel says filming there would be difficult and suggests we eat at its quieter Jiang-Nan Chun Cantonese restaurant.
They are fine with Chinese food, and also agree to bring along their violins — in this case, two precious Stradivarius instruments on loan to them for the SSO concert.
In person, they come across as smart, decent and sincere. They also look as if they could do with more sleep.
Yang, 30, is the friendlier, chattier one. When he sees the camera crew milling around, he asks me: “Is everyone eating or is it just us?”
Just us, I say.
“Sorry, guys,” he waves to them.
With his floppy fringe and dark-framed glasses, his style is collegiate preppy.
Chen’s is more hip hop. He’s wearing trendy oversized wire-frame glasses, a big white T-shirt and a sprinkling of jewellery. He appears a little more distant at first, possibly due to a lack of caffeine.
You’re quieter than in your videos, I remark.
“Yeah, people say that a lot,” Chen, 29, says. “I am, actually. But I also think I just haven’t had my coffee today.”
Yang vouches for this. “There is Eddy pre-coffee and after,” he says, mimicking how a tortoise retracts its head in and out of its shell. It sets them off laughing again.
Over our two-hour set-menu lunch, they finish each other’s sentences and reaffirm the other’s opinion or observation, Chen warms up after his caffeine fix from the Chinese tea. They share the same humour and their affection for each other seems genuine.
Sharing similar backgrounds, they have been friends for more than half their lives.
Both were born in Taiwan. When they were four, their families moved to New Zealand before settling down in Brisbane, Australia.
Yang, whose Chinese name is Po-yao, adopted the name Brett in Taiwan when his parents asked his English teacher for Western names. She went down the alphabet in giving them suggestions. His older brother is Alan, he got Brett and his mother is Cathy. “We skipped D as we couldn’t find a good name. My dad’s Eric.”
Chen’s mother picked Michael for him when he started kindergarten in New Zealand, but there were three other Michaels in his class.
He asked her for a new name, and she told him to pick one himself. Chen, whose Chinese name is Wei-chen, decided on Eddy after a fighter character in Tekken, a PlayStation game.
They met when Yang was 14 and Chen 13, at a maths tutoring class in Brisbane attended by Asian students.
The next day, they ran into each other again at a youth orchestra rehearsal they had signed up for. They didn’t attend the same school, but the classical music world was so small that they stayed friends.
Chen’s father was a dentist and his mother a housewife. He and his sister, who’s five years older, learnt the violin and piano. When she was 18, she decided to focus on the piano. “My mum was like, ‘well, we have only one piano, so I’m not giving you piano lessons anymore.’” He did the violin.
As for Yang, his older brother played the cello for a while and is now a dentist — “he’s fulfilling that for my parents”. His father is a semi-retired architect and mother an artist and teacher.
Their childhood revolved around practice, performance and competitions. Both went to Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, one of Australia’s leading music and performing arts schools, and knew they would make a career in music.
Chen remembers what his father, who died in 2015, once told him.
“He said, ‘Look, I’ve done that whole make your Asian parents happy part, and it’s cool, but I’m staring at teeth every day from the moment I wake up till I go to sleep. So unless you’re really passionate about teeth, maybe think a bit about doing what you’re passionate about.’
“That stuck with me, which is why I chose to do music even though my mum was like ‘be a doctor, be a doctor’.”
Yang tells his friend: “Your dad’s the chillest dad.”
Did your father get to see your YouTube success before he died, I ask chen.
“We had just started. He saw a little bit, but he didn’t see our first world tour, unfortunately, which would have been cool,” he says, sounding wistful.
Yang adds comfortingly: “He left you with his blessing — and passion.”
Around the time they were in university, South Korean rapper Psy’s Gangnam Style video became a global hit. Inspired, they started to make videos.
There was then a popular duo called 2Cellos. Calling themselves TwoViolins would be lame, “like a copy-paste”, says Yang. “So our two set of violins? Okay, TwoSet Violin.”
They got jobs in orchestras after graduation — Yang with the Sydney Symphony and Chen with the Queensland Symphony.
The fanbase of their videos continued to grow. At the end of 2015, they left their jobs to do videos full time. Audiences lapped up content like 8 Most Epic Piano Performances Everyone Should Watch.
In 2017, they decided to raise funds for a world tour and, as they said at the time, “turn our viral classical comedy videos into one crazy recital”.
They busked and slept on the streets of Sydney, and hit their goal of A$50,000 (S$46,000) in five days. From 2017 to 2019, they performed in more than 20 cities, including Singapore.
INFINITE IDEAS
As classical musicians, they saw how audiences were ageing. A key motivation behind TwoSet Violin has been to win over young fans.
“At concerts, it’s a sea of white hair,” says Yang. “You see a few young people in the front, which is usually us, the students, going to watch their favourite artists on student tickets.”
Adds Chen: “In 20 years, what’s going to happen?”
Yang replies: “We’re not going to have a job... It starts from the younger generation appreciating these things.”
I wonder if making videos has felt like they were dumbing down.
Yang points out that they do play the violin. “It’ll be a different story if we were faking it... But we still offer the integrity of classical music.”
Chen reminds me that his partner would be playing the full Mendelssohn Violin Concerto with the SSO. “No YouTube violinist I can think of could do that, right?”
They love it when people tell them how the videos have inspired them to pick up or relearn instruments.
They are brimming with “infinite” ideas on how to make classical music entertaining.
Anything, it seems, can be turned into content.
An idea like whether one can play the violin on the moon could lead to a discourse on how sound and frequency travel in space.
Some videos critique the treatment of classical music in popular culture. 
Their recent parody of the Korean group Blackpink’s use of Paganini’s La Campanella drew flak from K-pop fans for being disrespectful, which they have shrugged off.
Blackpink’s treatment of La Campanella was “pretty artistically uninspiring”, says Chen dryly.
“They turned such a great piece into one of the most monotonous-sounding loops. Like they tuned it down, they processed it to sound almost like a machine violin, and then it was just looping like half the sentence.”
Their critiques aren’t mean-spirited, they add.
“I don’t think we’ve ever insulted someone for the sake of insulting. When we’re making videos, we’re coming from a perspective of sharing the world of classical music,” Chen says.
“So it’s like we’re educating about classical music but in a fun and entertaining way. We add some comedy to it, and sometimes with comedy there’s a bit more spice to it, and we add a bit of roast occasionally.”
As performers, they have had their struggles with stress and exhaustion.
When Chen was about 20, he couldn’t play the violin for about eight months and was in a wheelchair for two. He was preparing for a performance when first his arms, then legs, became mysteriously wracked with pain.
Eventually, a doctor diagnosed it to be psychological, and he had to learn to push through the pain. He has since recovered.
In 2020, Yang took about three months off, suffering from exhaustion.
They have since tried to take more breaks. They manage themselves, with a team of about 12, half of whom work part-time. Big agencies have asked to represent them, but they prefer to be independent.
Covid-19 put a halt to touring, but they held a virtual tour in December 2021. The duo, who are single and semi-based in Singapore, have announced another world tour for 2023/2023.
They don’t have any significant sponsors or government funding, and get income from YouTube advertising, concerts and apparel. “We try to make it work from the resources we have,” says Yang. “It forces us to be super creative.”
They are certainly changing the way classical music is perceived. At their SSO concert at the Victoria Concert Hall, they tied up with Tiger Sugar to serve bubble tea. (They are big bubble tea fans.)
A lot of their success — as well as their future — hinges on them staying in sync with the other.
Chen says they are on the same wavelength in most things and have hardly ever fought. “We are very much on the same page in our bigger outlook on life. Obviously, there will be smaller decisions that we might disagree on, but we just discuss it.”
Yang echoes this. They approach situations not from a “me perspective” but seek to understand each other.
As we wrap up the meal, I ask what they like about each other.
Yang says: “Eddy’s a very open-minded person, and he also thinks really deep. So it’s not just one-dimensional. You think broadly, you also think depth.”
Chen says he appreciates his friend’s ability to be in touch with people’s feelings and be considerate in social situations.
“He knows how to bring uncomfortable conversations up in a non-confrontational way. You know how sometimes people just bottle things up and then over time it explodes, right? But with Brett, it never feels like it has to get to that.”
Yang says softly: “Thanks, bro.”
The lunch crowd has gone, and we take over the restaurant to film the video. They play for us a segment of Augustin Hadelich’s arrangement of Por Una Cabeza by Carlos Gardel.
Yang e-mails me later to ask if I’d like a ticket to their SSO concert. I ask for one to their open rehearsal.
There’s nary a head of white hair among the audience. The seats are occupied by happy young people — mostly women — clapping wildly when they walk on stage and soaking in the Mendelssohn and Bach that follow.
I’m not a classical music lover, but, I, too, enjoyed myself.

1. Third day of the new year and I have discovered that one of my piercings is being eaten by my ear. I did not notice this before because the piercing that is affected is right next to another piercing with a massive keloid scar that I have not effectively treated, so I thought it was just the scar acting up again. I don't know what to do about this. I know I should go to a fucking piercing shop, but I really don't want to because the nearest one to me is run by a couple that have felt super judgey to me despite having been nice enough to help me for no payment and no appointment on at least one if not two prior occasions. But I really don't fucking feel like being scolded for the supposedly poor quality of my body jewellery or whatever because I have 16 piercings or something on my ears and I don't have $1600 to drop on jewellery, since almost everything they sell is like $100 for a piece of body jewellery.
2. I can't take it out by myself, which is also why I'm so fucking tired of dealing with my piercings. They are so fucking difficult to get out by yourself or do things to yourself without having to go to a piercer.
3. Every time something about my body comes up or I need to go do a medical thing or see a doctor, it is a Huge Fucking Drag. And at times like these I just want to go home to Singapore. It feels like a damn pain having to go see a doctor here because of being an international student. I can go see a doctor just fine but to claim the money or whatever I have to do admin and so I've never bothered. But I also don't trust the medical system here like for going to treat said keloid scar because ??? I seem to only have the option of going to private clinics, whereas in Singapore I just go to the National Dermatology Centre. Which is subsidised by the government.
4. Fuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkk I know I should go see a doctor or a piercer but I really don't want to and also the other reason I find having to go do a Medical Thing such a Fucking Drag is because public transport here is a fucking pain in the arse and I don't drive. In Sg I could wait a few more hours, leave the house, get on public transport and go to a piercing shop in a shopping centre that I trust that closes at 9pm or something without having to hurry. Here though I am beset by inertia.
5. I am going to use piercing spray and maybe try to soak it in some salt solution and then maybe use some ice and try to take it out by myself. If that doesn't work then tomorrow I will go out of my way to go to a body jewellery place at the shopping centre near my partner's apartment and see if they can get it out for me, since I wanted to buy something from there anyway.

Bridal Bliss: Finding the Perfect Wedding Jewellery Singapore
Introduction
Your wedding day is one of the most significant events of your life, and finding the perfect wedding jewellery is crucial to complete your bridal look. Singapore, renowned for its exquisite jewellery scene, offers a plethora of options to cater to every bride's taste and style. From timeless classics to contemporary pieces, the right jewellery not only enhances your beauty but also adds a personal touch to your special day.
Tumblr media
The Benefits of Finding the Perfect Wedding Jewellery
Enhances Bridal Attire: The right jewellery complements your wedding dress, bringing out its elegance and enhancing your overall look. The interplay of sparkling gemstones and finely crafted metals can transform even the simplest gown into a stunning ensemble.
Creates Lasting Memories: Wedding jewellery often becomes a cherished heirloom, passed down through generations, making your big day even more memorable. Each piece carries the story of your love, creating a tangible link to your special day that can be cherished for years to come.
Investment Value: Quality jewellery Singapore can be a valuable investment, appreciating over time. High-quality pieces made from precious metals and gemstones can hold significant financial value, providing both sentimental and monetary benefits.
Customization and Personal Touch: Customized pieces reflect your personal style and story, making your wedding jewellery truly unique. Customization allows for special engravings, unique designs, and personal touches that standard jewellery cannot provide.
Step-by-Step Guide to Choosing Wedding Jewellery Singapore
Understanding Your Style and Preferences
Traditional vs. Contemporary Designs: Decide if you prefer classic, timeless pieces or modern, trendy designs. Traditional designs often feature intricate craftsmanship and classic gemstones like diamonds and pearls, while contemporary pieces may incorporate unconventional materials and bold, innovative styles.
Matching with Dress and Theme: Ensure your jewellery matches the style and theme of your wedding dress and overall wedding decor. For instance, a vintage-themed wedding may call for antique-inspired pieces, whereas a minimalist modern wedding may be complemented by sleek, simple designs.
Researching Jewellery Stores
Reputable Stores and Brands: Look for well-known stores such as Lustre Jewellery and Timeless Moonstones, known for their exquisite collections and quality. These stores have established reputations for offering high-quality, beautifully crafted jewellery.
Online vs. In-Store Shopping: Consider the convenience of online shopping versus the personal experience of in-store visits. Online shopping offers a wider range of options and the ease of browsing from home, while in-store visits allow you to see and feel the jewellery in person and receive personalized advice from experts.
Exploring Types of Wedding Jewellery
Necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets, Rings: Identify the types of jewellery you need to complete your bridal look. Each piece should complement not only your dress but also each other, creating a harmonious and elegant ensemble.
Lustre Jewellery: Known for unique designs and bespoke services, Lustre offers a range of bridal jewellery that can be customized to your taste. Their pieces often feature intricate detailing and high-quality gemstones, perfect for adding a touch of luxury to your bridal attire.
Timeless Moonstones: Offers vintage-inspired and modern moonstone pieces, perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your wedding attire. Moonstones, with their ethereal glow, add a unique and romantic element to your jewellery collection.
Considering Quality and Craftsmanship
Materials: Choose from gold, platinum, diamonds, and other gemstones based on your preference and budget. Each material has its own unique properties and appeal. Gold, for example, is timeless and versatile, while platinum is known for its durability and lustrous finish.
Hallmarks and Certifications: Ensure the jewellery comes with proper certifications and hallmarks indicating its authenticity and quality. Certified pieces provide assurance of the value and quality of the materials used.
Setting a Budget
Prioritizing Pieces: Decide which pieces are most important to you and allocate your budget accordingly. For example, if you plan to wear a statement necklace, you might opt for simpler earrings to balance the look.
Balancing Quality and Cost: Aim to find a balance between high quality and a reasonable price. While it’s important to stay within budget, remember that high-quality jewellery is an investment that can last a lifetime.
Personalization and Customization
Custom-Made Pieces: Consider having custom-made pieces to ensure your jewellery is one-of-a-kind. Custom designs can incorporate elements that are significant to you and your partner, making your jewellery truly special.
Engravings and Bespoke Designs: Personalize your jewellery with engravings or bespoke designs that hold special meaning for you and your partner. Whether it’s a special date, initials, or a meaningful symbol, these details add a personal touch.
Timing Your Purchase
Ideal Timeframes: Start shopping for your wedding jewellery at least 3-6 months before the wedding to allow time for customization and adjustments. This timeline ensures you have ample time to explore options, make decisions, and handle any necessary alterations.
Allowing for Adjustments and Fittings: Make sure there is enough time for any necessary adjustments or fittings closer to the wedding date. Regular fittings ensure that your jewellery fits perfectly and comfortably on your big day.
Examples of Stunning Wedding Jewellery
Lustre Jewellery

Trash Into Treasure: 60-Year-Old Transforms 200 kg Of E-Waste Into Artistic Masterpieces, Sells Globally
Who is Vishwanath Mallabadi Davangere?
Eco-Artist Transforms Trash into Treasure : Meet Vishwanath Mallabadi Davangere, the Retired Wipro Exec Turned Master of Recycling. This Bangalore-based artist has a unique talent for turning discarded items into stunning works of art.
Who is Vishwanath Mallabadi Davangere?
Trash Into Treasure!
Making Art Out of Tech Waste
500+ Eco Art Out Of E-Waste
Trash Into Treasure!
With India facing a growing e-waste crisis, producing 10.1 lakh tonnes in 2019-20 with only 22.7% recycled, Vishwanath’s passion for recycling is more important than ever.
He focuses on retrieving items such as copper, gold, and multi-coloured wires, keyboards, and computer components that are useful based on their texture, color, and form.
This approach allows him to effectively utilize materials that would otherwise be discarded and contribute to the growing issue of e-waste.
Growing up, Vishwanath’s father was a renowned sculptor and painter, but he had hopes of his son becoming a doctor. But Vishwanath had other ideas. He was fascinated with upcycling second-hand objects from a young age, and decided to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Applied Art.
Even as a high-level executive at Wipro, working in Talent Transformation, Vishwanath couldn’t shake his passion for eco-art. In his free time and on the weekends, he devoted himself to experimenting with e-waste and creating one-of-a-kind masterpieces.
Now, he’s living proof that turning a hobby into a business can lead to a fulfilling and exciting career!
Making Art Out of Tech Waste
Vishwanath is a master of turning tech trash into treasure! He takes apart everything from computers and laptops, to data cards and even medical devices, and transforms them into works of art.
It all started as a fun hobby – making little animals out of scrap gadgets. But as he learned more about the harm e-waste was causing to the environment, he took his art to the next level, creating murals and sculptures that spread awareness about this pressing issue.
And the best part? It’s now turned into a successful business! After retiring two years ago, Vishwanath started selling his unique eco-art pieces and has built a global following, with buyers from Europe, the Netherlands, the US, and even Delhi.
From computer keyboard keys to resistors and even wristwatch parts, Vishwanath has transformed over 500 pieces of e-waste into stunning pieces of art! This eco-artist’s talent knows no bounds as he transforms trash into treasure with his visionary imagination and skilled hands.
500+ Eco Art Out Of E-Waste
He has created a six-foot-tall sculpture, a portrait of business tycoon Azim Premji, eco-jewellery, and even wearable art for a fashion show. Each piece is unique, crafted with care, and made from items that would otherwise end up in landfills.
The process of upcycling is not for the faint-hearted, but Vishwanath takes on the challenge with passion and determination. He carefully examines each item of e-waste, looking at its texture, shape, color and more, before conceptualizing the final product.
Turning trash into treasure! That’s the magic of Vishwanath’s art. In just a few short minutes, he can turn scraps of e-waste into stunning pieces of jewelry. But, when it comes to sculptures, the process might take weeks or even months. But it’s all worth it because sustainable initiatives and upcycled art are all the rage these days.
Companies everywhere are looking to adopt a more sustainable culture, and Vishwanath’s art is the perfect addition to any eco-friendly office or home.
He’s not only an eco-artist, but also a published author, with a paper about upcycling for sustainable living that was published by Springer Nature, Singapore in 2020. And the eco-artist is just getting started!
Currently, he’s working on a massive 20×30 foot public art installation that’s sure to turn heads. Using discarded parts of mobile phones, remote controls, and calculators, this work of art will showcase just how much beauty can be created from what some might consider “trash.”
And that’s not all, Vishwanath is also working on a mural installation and 3D sculpture that he hopes to showcase in the Bengaluru metro.

The Ultimate Diamond Jewellery Guide To Giving The Gift They Will Love
Tumblr media
It is true that because giving a gift is thoughtful, because giving a gift is personal, because giving a gift is an art, it becomes a lot more difficult to choose jewellery as your gift. Especially when it is for an exceptional occasion or a special someone. Hence, walking into a store and picking a piece such as colour diamond jewellery or gemstone jewellery can seemingly be a daunting process. But it does not need to be. Although the gifting options are endless, it all comes down to knowing what your recipient loves, specifically jewellery. Our purpose here is to give you the best guide to choosing and giving the gift which will be loved by you as well as your recipient.
Friends
Friends are an extension of your family, certainly. From living in the moment to making countless memories, life is seamless when you have trustworthy friends walking beside you. And yes, giving them a flawless gift is the least you could do, so why not do it with style. The first important thing is to clearly know their personality, their likes and dislikes. Some prefer bold, some prefer traditional and there are ones who whole-heartedly embrace contemporary. The most preferred jewellery to gift would be earrings, necklaces, or brooches as they are distinct and also reflect meaning. If you want to go all out, opting for customized gemstone jewellery that complements who they are sounds even more perfect.
Family
Oh yes, we won’t lie! This is a bit tricky. Family is personal. It’s about them being a priority always. So, a desirable gift here would be something personalized and sentimental. For your mom or sister, who you have been very close to, signature colour diamond jewellery like a colour diamond necklace or bracelet will express a lot on your behalf. Engraved jewellery pieces are also ideal to express your love and appreciation for them.
Your Beloved Partner
Here, it is simpler. Jewellery makes the perfect romantic gift. Whether it is an amazing present for her birthday or to celebrate your wedding anniversary or just to profess your love romantically, you really cannot go wrong here. But to be more impressive, we dare say that buying her an exclusive gemstone jewellery-based ring will be the most impressive thing to do. Show how much you love her with a gift that is as stunning as her beauty!
Buying fine jewellery in Singapore as a gift can be challenging. To solve your problem, we recommend Infiniti Jewels, a company renowned for being the most prestigious seller of diamonds and gemstones. With quality and trust, we celebrate beauty and love, one jewellery piece at a time; whether it’s bespoke jewellery or remarkable gemstone pieces. Witness what makes us the best by visiting our store today.
