Did you know Si Dian Jin is a Teochew tradition that dates back centuries to the Chao Shan region in Guangdong province, China. During the Guo Da Li ceremony, the bride’s mother-in-law will present a set of jewellery consists a gold necklace, a bangle, a ring and a pair of earrings to the bride as a betrothal gift. The Chinese word for “gold” (金) resembles the curved rooftops of Teochew houses, symbolising that the daughter-in-law is welcomed in her new home and that she will always be well taken care of.
Today, the tradition has now been adopted by other Chinese families amongst dialects. Teochew families typically gift a 4-piece jewellery set, while Cantonese, Hokkien and others may focus on getting one or two pieces of jewellery with the most common option is a pair of bangles.
While the components of the Si Dian Jin jewellery set may vary amongst families, the meaning remains the same: Si Dian Jin is a way for the groom and his family to show love and devotion to the bride For many brides and grooms, Si Dian Jin is more than just a set of wedding jewellery, it is also a symbol of their love, bond and commitment to each other.
In the past, Si Dian Jin was often kept away and not worn after the wedding day. However, many modern brides are opting to wear their bridal jewellery set not just on their wedding day but every day after. Si Dian Jin has since evolved over time to include contemporary designs and pieces made from different materials.
Yellow gold, both 916 and 999, are still the most popular choice as they remain as a good store of value and can be passed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms. Nonetheless, white and rose gold Si Dian Jin sets are also becoming more common. Different pearls and gemstones are also often used in modern Si Dian Jin, adding a pop of colour to the traditional gold. These contemporary designs better reflect the bride’s personal style and are more suitable for everyday wear.
