One such tradition took shape in China centuries ago.<\/i><\/p><p><b class=\"special\">I<\/b>n the Teochew province, houses often had four elegantly curved roofs resembling the Chinese character \u91d1 pronounced \u201cjin\u201d, or gold. These were usually referred to as \u201c\u56db\u70b9\u91d1 Si Dian Jin\u201d, and were the focal point of a home, indicating the status and wealth of the family.<\/p><div class=\"banner\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">OA_show(5);<\/script><\/div><p>In those days, marriages were arranged and fixed through go-betweens and the bride and bridegroom rarely had a chance to meet or get to know and trust each other. So, 14 days before the wedding, the bridegroom would express the sincerity of his intentions with a lovely gift for his bride-to-be. His mother would hand over this gift of four ornaments in pure gold. It spoke of commitment and trustworthiness; and it was a way of saying, \u201cYou will always have a roof over your head and a comfortable life.\u201d This beautiful gift came to be known as \u56db\u70b9\u91d1 Si Dian Jin, four touches of gold that blessed every union.<\/p><p>Poh Heng presents this tradition in all its authenticity and beauty with one essential addition; a sense of today. Take a look at the wide selection of \u56db\u70b9\u91d1 Si Dian Jin sets as they play with motifs old and new. All are beautifully-crafted, and may be worn individually or as a set.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Poh Heng \u2013 Si Dian Jin\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Screen-shot-2010-12-13-at-PM-12.09.37.png\" alt=\"\"  \/><p><b>COLOURS OF A PROMISE<\/b> Yellow, white, rose, the colours of gold work their magic together in this Si Dian Jin set<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Poh Heng \u2013 Si Dian Jin\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Screen-shot-2010-12-13-at-PM-12.09.52.png\" alt=\"\" \/><p><b>LINKS OLD AND NEW<\/b> The classic link motif takes on a new, more open dimension in this set of Si Dian Jin jewellery<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Poh Heng \u2013 Si Dian Jin\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Screen-shot-2010-12-13-at-PM-12.10.03.png\" alt=\"\" \/><p><b>A STRING OF JOY<\/b> The everyday bead is looked at afresh and strung with ingenuity.
