What is Si Dian Jin?
As part of the Chinese wedding tradition, Si Dian Jin（四点⾦ ）is a betrothal gift from the groom’s mother to the bride as a form of blessing and welcome into the family. Si Dian Jin（四点⾦ ）means four touches of gold, usually comprising a necklace, bangle or bracelet, ring and a pair of earrings made from gold.
The designs incorporated in a Si Dian Jin set are often symbolic, such as a dragon, phoenix, or cranes; they can also be in the form of calligraphy – a common one being ‘fu’ (福), which means ‘blessing’. Another common design is a lucky pattern called ‘pa sau’ (十三), meaning ‘thirteen’ in Cantonese, which is said to bring good fortune.
Today, many couples in Singapore embrace this cherished tradition with a contemporary twist. Modern Si Dian Jin designs offer greater versatility, blending traditional symbolism with sleek, minimalist aesthetics that appeal to brides with diverse tastes. These updated styles ensure Si Dian Jin remains relevant for modern weddings, where both tradition and individuality are celebrated.
Cherishing this tradition, LeCaine Gems uses excellent artisanal skills and cutting-edge techniques in a range of modern and traditional jewelry designs to suit our brides in Singapore.
