Once in a Lifetime Encounter 一期一会
一期一会, which means “one time, one meeting" describes the concept of being present in all moments. We understand that all moments fleetingly pass by. The proverb stresses treating each moment as a unique experience, enjoying it fully before it disappears as such moments may never be replicated.

C stands for Carats which is the weight of the diamond. The higher the Carat weight, the heavier the stone is.
Never store diamonds and other jewellery together as diamonds are very hard and can scratch gold and other gemstones.
Use hot water and mild dish detergent to soak for 10 minutes before brushing with a soft toothbrush. Try to avoid ultrasonic cleaning (unless taken to jeweller who can check all your stones after) as the vibrations can loosen settings over time.
Regular cleaning can keep the diamonds looking shiny and free from oil, dirt trapped in the settings.
A Gemstones hardness is classified by the Moh’s Scale. Depending on the gemstone, some can be more sensitive to scratches. Diamond is the strongest followed by sapphire, ruby.
Avoid perfume, lotion, hairspray, sunscreen, sea water and harsh chemicals. As a result, it is very important to take your jewellery off when washing your hands, bathing, exercising and when going to the beach.
Use a clean, soft, damp cloth after wearing. Very porous stones such as turquoise and emeralds should be cleaned using a dry, soft cloth only. Do not use tissue paper or paper towels to clean gemstones as they can cause scratches.
K stands for Karat which is the purity of the gold. The higher the karat, the more gold there is out of a total of 24 parts. The other parts are made with copper in order for it to be harder and more durable.
Never store diamonds and gold jewellery together as gold will get easily scratched. Store them in the pouches we provide to keep them looking shiny and new.
Use warm water and mild dish detergent to soak your gold jewellery regularly.

CHAIN LENGTH GUIDE

Choker (14"): This style sits snugly around the neck and is perfect for those who love a bold, fashionable statement that highlights the neckline.
Collarbone (16"): Resting just above the collarbone, this length is versatile and works with a variety of necklines. It is also our most popular length.
Standard (18"): Often referred to as "princess length", it elegantly falls just below the collarbone creating the "V" visual that elongates the neck.
Below Collarbone (20"): Ideal for a more relaxed look, draping just over the collarbone.
Chest Level (22"): Falling at or above the chest, this length is perfect for layering with shorter pieces or wearing alone for a statement.
Each length offers a unique way to express your style and compliment outfits beautifully.

Let customers speak for us
from 22 reviewscustomised a character with a gold chain and really happy with how the whole piece turned out (: the process was also really collaborative right up to the nitty gritty details like having a stroke slightly longer or thicker. Thanks!
I wear this pendant everyday as I bought it in memory of a special someone. It’s beautiful. The sheen on the pearl and character really standa out. I get compliments often.
My staple piece, my everyday wear. I customised it with my birth stone and it's such an understated look. Love it.
Lilian listens with intent and patience to my requests and requirements when I was looking for a personalized gift for my mom for Mother's Day. She gave ideas and when the final piece was crafted, it looked so beautiful and was indeed a very meaningful gift for my mom.
A beautiful piece which blends elegance and comfort featuring customizable Chinese character. The cord is also made of high quality thread which makes it very durable for daily wear. Absolute love and highly recommended as a gift or for personal use.
I am super happy with my bespoke piece from Rhapsody in Gold. Lillian is super attentive and took the time to try different combinations of character size and chains to design the most suited and versatile piece for me.
The craftsmanship is exceptional — delicate yet substantial, with incredible attention to detail. Every element felt thoughtfully considered, from the proportions of the character to the finish of the gold (which can all be customized!) The final piece is not only modern and elegant, but also deeply personal, making it truly one‑of‑a‑kind. I have gotten so many compliments on my piece!
I'm always wearing my Rhapsody in Gold piece and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to create a meaningful and timeless piece that can be worn for years to come.
Lillian has made a few liittle pieces for me. Each and every one of them is perfect. We will be wearing these pieces for many years to come.
Bought this for my niece for Christmas and am super excited to give it to her. The whole process was professional and efficient all the way from initial character design to delivery. Bracelet turned out better than I expected - highly recommended!
The design is minimalist and versatile, making it super easy to go with my everyday look. It genuinely gives me a little spark of joy whenever I look at it :)
Love this necklace so much! I ordered this when Lillian had a popup at Perk by Kate in Singapore and having the chance to see her gorgeous jewellery in real life sealed the deal for me. I already have another customized bracelet coming my way and looking forward to getting that too!
Thank you for this beautiful piece of jewellery. I am very happy about this unique piece and look forward to wearing it every day. The quality seems to me to be very high and I am very enthusiastic about the characters!
I haven’t taken my new necklace off and was wid erful meeting Lillian in store!
I have always wanted to have the feeling of having my loved ones "close to my heart" and have been searching for the perfect idea. After seeing Rhapsody in Gold's (Chinese) poems stitched together By the yard necklace, it helped me visualize having the names of my loved ones as a necklace. I love how it incapsulates the meaning of keeping your family close, reflecting our heritage , and in a practical everyday piece that you don't need to ever remove.
The bespoke jewelry creation process was effortless and personal. Lillian gave me useful and artistic suggestions throughout on placement and style. That made my decision making a whole lot easier. Thank you ! I never take it off now :)
The packaging, design and attention to detail was amazing and impressive
. The entire design process felt very personal and it was very apparent that you would be getting a one of a kind piece. The rose gold shade is very flattering and the overall quality of the piece feels really nice! Thank you Lillian!!
I love this piece so much as I received it as a gift when I got married.
Every time I wear it, I’m reminded of the happy times of celebrating my marriage.
I love that it’s dainty and I can wear it everyday and it goes well with any outfit and can be layered with my other necklaces.
