In my earlier post, I shared my reservations about getting Si Dian Jin for my dowry. I was terrified they would look gaudy on my wedding gown!

But you know what, that mindset was based on my exposure to Si Dian Jin from watching period dramas. And boy, was I in for a surprise when Goldheart Jewelry presented their interpretation of Si Dian Jin.

Here’s what I have come to understand in my wedding journey with Goldheart: Si Dian Jin is a symbolism of MIL’s gesture to reassure that I will be taken care of throughout my marriage. However, the craftmanship of the Si Dian Jin is opened for interpretation, and this is where Goldheart really shines.

The MODE GOLD 916 Si Dian Jin collection boasted such extensive, elegant and excellent designs that I seriously questioned if it is “Si Dian Jin” at first glance – they seemed to be designed for daily stylish wear (as opposed to occasion wear, such as a wedding)

My MIL wanted to gift me Si Dian Jin as part of tradition, while at the same time, she wanted me to pick a design that I would be proud to wear for the wedding (and, I believe, even after to demonstrate my appreciation for her gift). This is going to be a win-win situation with Goldheart’s MODE GOLD 916 Si Dian Jin.

I know my taste for jewellery designs I’d be wearing on a daily basis, so it was a cinch in picking out my Si Dian Jin set. My taste in jewellery can be defined as modern minimalist, versatile and nothing that looks obiang… so check, check and check – Goldheart has got them all!

Just like the process of picking out the wedding bands, identifying and trying Si Dian Jin designs was an enjoyable session. In fact, it opened up new ideas and inspirations for future stylish ensembles … and I caught myself wondering if we can actually push past “Si”, if you catch my drift. The Si Dian Jin designs are made and designed in Italy, and I must say they are definitely on point for looking contemporary and so easy to accessorise with!

For those of you who are new to Si Dian Jin, it literally means “four touches of gold”. It is also a figurative for “four corners of a roof”, which is an expression to mean that the bride is promised security by having a roof over her head in the groom’s family. The “four touches of gold” corresponds to a necklace, a ring, a bangle and a pair of earrings.

Here’s a look at some of the MODE GOLD 916 Si Dian Jin that I browse at Goldheart Tampines:

First few designs that I tried on and it is SPELLS ME!!! Minimalist with a touch of details perfect to accentuate (virtually all) my outfits!

Oh, and this collection design comes in a ring, dangling earrings and a long necklace too!

 

This man made a joke that made me giggle. I kinda forgot what he said but lol this was my reaction! But I certainly remembered how perfect the ring looked on my finger!

And, OMG, this piece is so pretty! Can you believe this is even a part of a Si Dian Jin collection?

There is always joy and laughter when I’m with him, which I believe made this session incredibly effortless and memorable as one of our many milestones of my lives together!

And the next design has a dressier, nature-theme look with its the butterfly motifs. Although I didn’t pick this design ultimately, I wanted to show this in order to give you an idea of the range of designs that MODE GOLD 916 Si Dian Jin is capable of. If you have a taste for elaborate and flashier designs, Goldheart has got it covered!

I wasn’t the only one shopping! This design caught Hao’s eyes and he suggested it for me. However, my intention was to own a SI Dian Jin that I can wear on a daily basis; personally, I felt this design may be too “dressy” for my wardrobe to be worn regularly.

 

Since he really to see this piece on me, why not try it on to show him! Wouldn’t you guess – it glammed me up just like that! Thanks, dear for showing interest for me!

After picking out the wedding bands and Si Dian Jin, it is time to put them all together for our Big Day. Stay tune on my blog and Instagram, as I will be revealing more in the next couple of days!

 

 

 

I guess for most brides-to-be, she would hold dear to her heart the careful process of picking out wedding bands and SI Dian Jin designs. After all, this is an investment that she would want to wear for a long time after her wedding!

Well, I’m getting married come 31 August and so I had also gone through this process. There are two parts to my story that I shall share. In Part 1, I shall talk about the importance of shopping in a conducive environment, and in Part 2, I shall take you through my journey in choosing my Si Dian Jin design.

Goldheart Jewelry, a leading jeweller in the love and romance category, will floor you with their huge array of wedding bands designs that will surprise even the most discerning couples.

There are five broad categories of wedding band collections Celestial®, Le Pure, Enchantine, Intimo and Felicité. Celestial® features Goldheart’s iconic world’s first 73-facet starburst diamond, which possesses a superlative brilliance, scintillation and more “fire” than any other diamond.

Le Pure uses platinum to represent the ultimate gesture of purity, strength and pricelessness of pure love. For couples who desire their wedding bands to be imbued with a thematic message, the Enchantine collection uses artisanal craftsmanship to create intricate and whimsical designs that capture the charisma of a couple’s “happily ever after” love; the Intimo collection encapsulates the intimacy and unshakeable bond between soulmates and lovers; the Felicité bands deliver a “comfort fit” for the wearer and a physical representation of the most genuine and natural expression of wedded bliss.

Where does one even begin? When I embarked on my journey to pick the wedding bands and Si Dian Jin, I discovered two factors that brides-to-be may overlook: one, environment and two, service quality. When you are making long term investment decisions for your bridal jewellery, these factors make a world of a difference to your final purchase.

Let’s talk about the boutique. Goldheart Tampines now sports a new concept design entitled “The Contemporary Communal”. Unlike typically jewellery store, the walls of the shopfront are removed for an open frontage, which allows shoppers to take in all at once its beautiful interior that now takes the form of a contemporary living room.

In particular, I’m delighted by the lounge area – where the wedding bands counter is located – as it provides cosy high-back sofas that offered us a degree of privacy as we browse the extensive collection at our pace.

The customer service staff who attended to us was very patient and took time to listen to our needs and wants, and did not hesitate to present a variety of options for us to inspect. The entire session was unhurried and enjoyable, and I did not feel any pressure to decide on my purchase even as more customers start to pour into the store. This really put me at ease to make up my mind.

I did finally pick our wedding bands from the Felicité collection. I know you are curious about the design I chose, and I promise I will reveal the designs at a later date!

Here are some photos of us at Goldheart Tampines picking our wedding bands.

 

We tried on the different wedding bands designs before I picked an eternity ring from the Felicité Collection. This is because I intend to stack the wedding band with my engagement ring, and I found the perfect fit in terms of design. The staff was very nice to “loan” me a solitaire ring that closely resembled mine (which I kept safely at home), so that I can visualise how the Felicité would look when placed together.

PS: Thank you baby for being so patient with me throughout this process. With you, I really found “the one”… as in the ring!

PPS: Of course YOU are The One. I found you first!!!
