Safekeeping Stories since 1872
Officially established in 1872, B.P. de Silva Jewellers is amongst Singapore’s first luxury labels. The brand's rich heritage and legacy can be traced back to the 19th century when the Founder, Balage Porolis de Silva, set sail from Ceylon and travelled across the world before settling down in Singapore to open the first B.P. de Silva Jewellers Atelier on the prestigious High Street.
Fine Jeweller to Royalty
B.P. de Silva also received royal patronage as members of royal families commissioned the brand to create special heirlooms. The brand's first royal commission was by the Duke of Connaught (pictured above).
B.P. de Silva also received the great honour of being the appointed purveyor of jewellery to His Majesty, The King of Siam. Our story still being told today at the National Museum of Singapore's History Gallery.

B.P. de Silva Jewellers, sets a good example in integrating ethical and sustainable practices into their business...
B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are companies verified by B Lab to meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
Across the five generations, B.P. de Silva, like many private family-run businesses, has lived out its values through its decision making from the family and like-minded managers , but it was important for our Creative Director, Shanya, that B.P. de Silva integrates its value-backed decision making across the organisation – especially beyond the family in a more structured way to empower the teams to incorporate its principles at all levels of decision making. So when her brother Navin shared about B. Corp’s mission and certification, she was excited to explore more and found it a very valuable tool to view and assess the business moving forward.
In 2020, B.P. de Silva would begin the stringent process of examining its supply chain and standard operating procedures extensively.
