From ‘Yes’ to ‘I do’: The jewellery behind every promise

Every milestone in a couple’s wedding journey carries its own symbolism – the promise made during a proposal, the commitment exchanged at the altar, and the blessings of joining a new family. One of the most symbolic ways to honour these moments has always been with treasured jewellery. 

Not only is wedding jewellery worn as a mark of the special bond between two people, they are also cherished as keepsakes and heirlooms, which makes quality, craftsmanship and design matter as much as sentiment.

As one of Singapore’s most established jewellery houses, Poh Heng Jewellery has long been known for its heritage and expertise. Today, it continues to appeal to the modern romantic with its latest creations that balance tradition and individuality. 

Its new collection, named “V.O.W by Poh Heng – The Wedding Collection”, comprises three signature jewellery lines that reflect every chapter in a couple’s journey of love – from proposal rings to wedding bands and modern betrothal gift sets of si dian jin and si dian zuan.

Chapter 1: V for Valentine – The Promise

Symbolising a pledge of love, a diamond engagement ring is often the first major symbol in a couple’s wedding journey. 

While classic solitaire designs remain beloved, Poh Heng’s Trust Diamond collection presents three exquisite and meaningful designs for the contemporary bride. 

For those who prefer a pared-back, timeless style, the Trust Ethereal and Lovage rings in 18K white gold feature clean silhouettes with poetic inspirations. 

The Trust Ethereal Ring is inspired by the tender moment a flower first blooms, signifying the moment when love comes fully into being. It showcases a diamond that appears to float above the finger, an effect created by an innovative tension setting. 

The Trust Lovage Ring, with its entwined setting, reflects how two lives grow stronger together over time.

Prefer something bolder? Poh Heng’s 2CT Trust Invisible Diamond Ring in 18K white gold makes a statement with a central diamond that is suspended in a near-invisible frame. Its diamond-set shank adds radiance, while the floating effect represents the unseen strength of trust – a foundation not always visible, but deeply felt. 

Chapter 2: O for Oath – The Commitment

A wedding band is the mark of commitment that is worn for life, an everyday piece that makes comfort and longevity essential.

Poh Heng’s Cherish collection was created with this in mind, while incorporating design details that give these rings a contemporary touch.

Crafted in 22K champagne gold, the Timeless Love Band and Endless Love Band feature subtly faceted edges that lend a sculptural feel to the otherwise classic form. This makes them versatile pieces that are perfect for couples who want their wedding jewellery to be unique, while complementing other accessories they might be wearing at the same time.

With its engravings and the memories they accumulate over time, each band becomes more meaningful as the years go by.

Chapter 3: W for Wedding – The Legacy

In many Chinese weddings, betrothal gifts such as si dian jin (which translates to “four pieces of gold”) remain a meaningful part of the celebration. 

Traditionally presented during guo da li – a customary betrothal gift exchange between families – si dian jin consists of four gold jewellery pieces presented to the bride by the groom’s family. 

They represent blessings and welcoming of the bride into her new family, and are usually intended to be heirloom keepsakes. 

With the Treasure of Adoration collection, Poh Heng introduces a vibrant take on si dian jin jewellery. The four-piece set, comprising earrings, a ring, bracelet and necklace, is adorned with auspicious traditional Chinese motifs such as the dragon and phoenix, and crafted in 24K yellow gold.

As wedding custom evolves, a contemporary version of si dian jin is gaining popularity with brides who want to be able to wear their betrothal pieces as everyday jewellery. 

This is where si dian zuan comes in. Meaning “four pieces of diamond”, it is similarly a set of four jewellery pieces, but in diamond-set white gold and modern designs that match well with their daily outfits.

Poh Heng’s Shimmering Cascade with Diamonds collection is an exquisite example of si dian zuan, blending contemporary aesthetics while retaining the sentiment behind the tradition. 

Presenting both these sets of jewellery evokes the idea of “double happiness”, which is the auspicious representation of the couple’s union, as well as the doubling of joy and good fortune.
