From Fortune to Cape diamonds

Typical Chinese: Xi Fu (Fortune)

The World Gold Council, in cooperation with China's jewelry apartment store Caibai, recently produced Xi Fu gold earrings, rings, and necklaces, for newly wedded couples and mothers.

In Chinese tradition, mothers will pass on a family heirloom to their daughters when they get married. The Xi Fu series promotes this idea of "passing jewelry from generation to generation," with some phoenix, flower and bell patterns to illustrate feminine beauty.
