A Chinese bride can wear not just one dress but as many as four different dresses throughout the wedding day. For each she will have a new set of jewelry. In the morning when the groom collects her for the ceremony of offering tea to her new in-laws she’ll wear the traditional hong gua. This is the red and gold jacket and long skirt heavily embroidered with the dragon and phoenix.
Traditional Dress, Gold Jewelry
With this she wears the ornate heavy gold jewelry bought by both sets of parents. But it must be the “four nines” - 999.9% or 24 carats, often bought from Chow Tai Fook a jewelry store in Hong Kong since 1939, with branches in China and Taiwan. This will be a pair of solid gold bracelets with designs of double happiness or long life characters, or the dragon and phoenix representing the emperor and empress, which the couple are for the day.
Other relatives will give gold pendants, rings and earrings. Since there is little opportunity to wear the traditional heavy jewelry after the big day, it is stored away, and many brides make a quiet trip back to the jewelers to sell it when the money is tight. Lighter, delicate styles are more popular today.Mystery shopper
