5 modern essential 'si dian jin' sets for Singapore brides

Planning for your big day? While it is important to find the perfect wedding dress, sorting out the customary wedding traditions can be quite a handful.

In this case, we're zooming in on si dian jin – a cherished tradition, of which the si dian jin (translated as "Four Touches of Gold") is both symbolic and beautiful for the Chinese bride.

Given as a betrothal present from the groom's family, this set usually consists of a necklace, a bangle or bracelet, a ring and a pair of earrings.

However, over the years, si dian jin in Singapore has transitioned from a marriage tradition to one that goes beyond the wedding. Bearing in mind that you'll be wearing these pieces for the long term.

With that being said, ahead, we've rounded up some of the latest si dian jin designs in Singapore for you to consider for your wedding day.

SK Jewellery 

Featuring traditional meaningful symbols, the si dian jin collection by SK Jewellery is one worth considering if you love something that's affordable and looks good at the same time.

From the 999 pure gold range, you'll find some of the most extraordinary pieces including the Double Happiness Dragon & Phoenix 999 Pure Gold Bangle, which complement each other to create balance for successful matrimonial bliss, and the Love Eternity Lily Earrings that are inspired by the Chinese name of Lily that's found in a phrase which essentially means in good harmony for hundred years, and are often used to congratulate a new marriage.
