FAQ about shopping for Si Dian Jin in Singapore
What is Si Dian Jin?
Si Dian Jin translates to ‘four touches of gold’, referring to a gift set that comprises four pieces of gold jewellery: a necklace, ring, bangle and a pair of earrings. As part of an age-old Teochew tradition practised in Chinese families, it is gifted by the groom’s family to the bride as a blessing for prosperity and a good marriage. It is usually given during the guo da li, also known as the betrothal ceremony.
Who selects the Si Dian Jin set?
Traditionally, the groom’s parents (specifically the mother-in-law) will pick out the pieces. However, brides today are becoming more involved in the jewellery selection process.
Does Si Dian Jin have to be pure gold?
Si Dian Jin sets are traditionally crafted from yellow gold and often feature dragon and phoenix motifs which symbolise prosperity and harmony in Chinese culture. But with the evolution of modern Si Dian Jin sets, they now come in various designs and materials, including white gold, jade, pearl and coloured gemstones. Some brides also choose to customise their sets for a personal touch.
How much does a Si Dian Jin set cost on average?
A Si Dian Jin set in Singapore typically costs between $3,000 and $10,000, depending on the material, gold purity, craftsmanship and design. High-end or custom-designed sets can exceed $15,000, especially if they feature intricate details or precious gemstones.
