Here’s how Poh Heng Jewellery upholds traditions with its new Si Dian Jin collection

A trusted name for over seventy years, the local jeweller introduces its largest bridal collection which combines modern sophistication and exquisite craftsmanship

There is nothing quite as exciting as celebrating a wedding in the family. In addition to the prospect of welcoming a new family member, there are easily several, if not dozens of customs and traditions related to Chinese weddings to familiarise yourself with. The most well-known and anticipated one? The Si Dian Jin gift.

For starters, the Si Dian Jin gift is a part of a larger ceremony known as Guo Da Li. Practised in southern China for centuries, the Guo Da Li ceremony (also known as the betrothal ceremony) symbolises the groom’s family’s sincerity in welcoming the bride into their family. About two to four weeks before the wedding, the groom’s family usually presents the bride’s family with a set of items that represent prosperity and fertility, including dragon and phoenix candles, traditional wedding cakes, oranges and the Si Dian Jin.

Understandably, Si Dian Jin doesn’t need much introduction. The four-piece jewellery set typically consists of a gold necklace, a pair of bangles, a ring and a pair of earrings, which represents continuity, balance, commitment and perfect union respectively. Plus, the jewellery pieces are often designed with auspicious symbols like dragon, phoenix, flowers, or the Chinese characters of “Double Happiness”. However, it is also becoming increasingly common for prospective mothers-in-law to consider their future daughters-in-law’s personal style before purchasing the Si Dian Jin so that the gifts will be practical, wearable heirlooms.
