Gold jewellery has always held a significant meaning for the Chinese, and many people purchase gold jewellery during the festive season. It is also a tradition for the Chinese to gift gold jewellery as a festive gift, further justified by its sentimental and appreciating value. This is why many people continue to practice this tradition every Lunar New Year, and purchase gold jewellery for themselves and their family.
Of the 12 Zodiac animals, the Dog represents intelligence, loyalty, honesty, righteousness, reliability, and affection. Since ancient times, the Dog has inspired accessories and decorative items in the form of the “Canine of Prosperity”. Due to its talismanic effect which also wards off evil, it has long been a symbol of auspiciousness and even a deity for the Chinese people. Poh Kong’s latest 2018 release is inspired by the “Canine of Prosperity”, which has a deeply rooted cultural and traditional heritage. By evoking “Good Fortune” and “Auspiciousness” and inspired by Feng Shui elements, the Auspicious Canine Series was created.
The Poh Kong 2018 Auspicious Canine Jewellery Series combines traditional elements with an injection of modern design, with a wide variety of gold jewellery that blesses all families with an auspicious and prosperous Lunar New Year!
