Origin of Si Dian Jin 四点金?
The custom of Si Dian Jin 四点金 was originated many years back in Teochew province in China. The architectural design of the houses in the province had four grand curved roofs that resemble the Chinese word “金”. Handed down from generation, these roofs indicated the status and wealth of the family. When the mother-in-law presented to the bride Si Dian Jin 四点金 jewellery, it is a way of saying, “You will always have a roof over your head and a comfortable life.”
Most Teochew families continue the practice of presenting Si Dian Jin to the brides on the actual big day. These jewellery set was earlier presented in yellow gold with a traditional design, solid gold 916 or 999 (22k or 24k) used to be the preferred choice of material for Si Dian Jin jewellery set.
