IN THE BEGINNING

The year 1976 saw the birth of what we now know as RISIS, when SISIR (the former Singapore Institute of Standards and Industrial Research, presently known as SPRING – Standards, Productivity and Innovation for Growth) developed and perfected a process that immortalised the natural beauty of Singapore’s orchids in precious 24K gold. It was a moment that forged a nation’s pride in a brilliant blend of technology, art and nature and created a classic that would be cherished as Singapore’s gift to the world.

With the mastery of their patented processes; their commitment to research, development and aesthetic values, RISIS has won numerous awards (Certificate of Award for Good Manufacturing Practice by SISIR and Singapore Design Award) and accolades (first winner of the Best Tourism Souvenir award presented by the Singapore Tourist Promotion Board) that hold testament to RISIS core values: creativity and quality.
