Singapore 2017 Wedding Jewelry
Issue date 12 July 2017
Singapore Post has issued a special Wedding Jewellery souvenir Sheet featuring four exquisite and intricate necklaces used during weddings. The limited edition wedding jewelry (1,888) serialised Collectors’ Sheets comes with four $10 stamps with a total face value of $40. These sheets are specially printed using offset lithography with 22K gold and shiny film hot foiling with embossing to bring out the intricacy and details of the necklaces.
The first stamp in the series features a Heavenly Match necklace, part of the Si Dian Jin (四点金) set of dowry jewellery, with interlocking dragon and phoenix motifs – well-loved mythical creatures that, according to Chinese tradition, bring good fortune and protection. The necklace is an illustration of the famed Chinese phrase, Long Feng Pei (龙凤配), which represents the idea that both majestic creatures are a perfect couple - a match made in heaven.
The second stamp is of a Peranakan Intan necklace with flora and fauna motifs. This piece has been designed in an art nouveau style combined with Asian aesthetics.
The third stamp features a mangalsutra, an ornate necklace of yellow gold with a design based on a wedding bell. This is one of the many jewellery items worn by an Indian bride to symbolise different aspects of the union with her husband.
The fourth stamp is of a necklace with diamonds set in yellow gold. This piece, named My Fair Lady, is inspired by jewelry worn by members of the Eurasian community.
