In Singapore, Chinese wedding traditions are an important component of weddings here. Not only does it honor our ancestral roots, wedding traditions such as the gifting of the <i>Si Dian Jin<\/i> (\u56db\u70b9\u91d1), the betrothal jewellery, also serve as blessings for the newlyweds\u2019 marriage and future.<\/p><div class=\"banner\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">OA_show(5);<\/script><\/div><h3>The History and Significance of Si Dian Jin<\/h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/CHOW-TAI-FOOK-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><p>Literally translating into four pieces of gold, the tradition of <i>Si Dian Jin<\/i> originated from the Chaosan region of Guangdong province in China. As the Chinese character <i>Jin<\/i> (\u91d1) resembles the sloping rooftops of the houses in the Chaosan region, the gifting of four pieces of gold to the bride during the <i>Guo Da Li<\/i> (\u8fc7\u5927\u793c) ceremony came to symbolise that she will always have a roof over her head, signifying that she will be well taken care of and provided for.<\/p><p>Today, the gifting of <i>Si Dian Jin<\/i> during the <i>Guo Da Li<\/i> ceremony has come to symbolise the bride\u2019s welcome into the groom\u2019s family, and is one of the wedding traditions still widely practiced by soon-to-be newlyweds.<\/p><h3>The Bond to Love Pure Gold Bridal Collection<\/h3><p>Meticulous care is taken into the selection of the four pieces of gold that will be given to the bride.
