SK Jewellery is proud to be one of the main sponsors for MediaCorp Channel 8’s latest Chinese drama “Blessings” (祖先保佑), which is slated for telecast on 23 July 2014, from Monday to Friday at 9pm.
This collaboration marks the first time SK Jewellery has worked closely with MediaCorp to design and produce an exclusive set of 999 Pure Gold and Hetian Jade pendants, which are integral to the storyline of the 20-episode time-travel drama.
“Blessings” is about a man, played by Shaun Chen, who lives in Singapore in the year 1948. By accident, he travels through time to 2014. During his adventures in the modern times, he meets and befriends his descendants (played by Yao Wen Long and Chen Han Wei). Comedy ensues as the time traveler strives to understand each of them. As he develops relationships with his descendants, the central themes of the drama – courage, diligence, trust, filial piety and joy, are featured.
SK Jewellery collaborated closely with MediaCorp’s Chinese Drama section for 2 months to ensure that the design of the pendants is exactly what the producers have in mind. After which, SK Jewellery’s master craftsmen took 3 months, combining traditional jewellery crafting skills with modern technology, to craft the set of pendants.
Each pendant features a flawless circular cabochon of creamy white Hetian Jade, which is the highest quality of nephrite jade from Xinjiang, China. Shiny and warm-toned 999 Pure Gold is set in the middle the cabochon for colour and textural contrast.
Beautifully and intricately engraved on each of the five pendants are Chinese characters, namely勇 (courage) to inspire the wearer to live life fearlessly; 勤 (diligence) to encourage the wearer to work hard to achieve his/her goals; 信 (trust) to remind the wearer the importance of trustworthiness; 孝 (filial piety) to inspire the wearer to treasure and honour the bonds between himself/herself and his/her parents, and last but not least, 喜 (joy), the most sincere of blessings for a blissful and fulfilled life.
The breathtaking set of pendants is as beautiful as it is deeply meaningful. 999 Pure Gold symbolises auspiciousness, success and attainment, while the Chinese characters reflect the desirable character traits and values that form the cornerstone of many Oriental tales.
The pendants represent what SK Jewellery’s 999 Pure Gold products are about – beautifully crafted jewellery pieces, inspired by the best of Asian values, traditions and stories. Lovingly handcrafted with meaningful stories, the “Blessings” pendants will definitely be a deeply heartfelt gift, to be worn, cherished and passed down for generations.
