POH KONG

In some cultures, gold holds a deep symbolism during wedding ceremonies. Poh Kong recognises this need and thus crafts yellow gold collections rife with meaning. For instance, the Gourdes of Fortune pieces (see necklace and earrings with tassles) gives prominence to the peony flower which symbolises wealth and honour, while the gourd functions as a feng shui element to ward off evil. The Blooming Happiness series features the lotus flower, as seen on the pendant and ring (top centre and bottom left)—always a classic, this series exudes an aura of truth, goodness and beauty. Inspired by the Ruyi knot, the Happy Love line (ring and pendant to the left) weaves an intricate ‘Hearts of Eternity’ design to reflect the intimate and deep bond between two lovebirds.
