6 Symbolic Ways To Welcome Fortune, Wealth, Health, Prosperity, Peace And Joy This Year

Chinese New Year marks the start of a new lunar year, and those who celebrate generally use this festive period to wish for auspicious things, like good fortune, good health, wealth and happiness for the year ahead. 

It is also believed that displaying or wearing specific symbols and characters can make those wishes come true, which is why certain motifs are featured heavily in Chinese New Year decorations and outfits. Jewellery brand CHOW TAI FOOK has incorporated a wide range of these auspicious symbols into their 2022 Year of the Tiger collection, so you can roar into the new year with beautiful and exquisite special edition jewellery or a commemorative coin.

#1 Symbolising good fortune

The word 福 means good fortune, so if you’re wishing for good luck this year, why not wear the character around your wrist? This pearl bracelet from CHOW TAI FOOK comes with a dainty 福 gold charm, allowing the wearer to honour a Chinese practice in a modern way. The simple yet elegant pearl bracelet will go well with all of your OOTDs, from a cheongsam to a modern jumpsuit.

Thinking of gifting a bracelet to someone born in the year of the Tiger? CHOW TAI FOOK also has a range of adjustable bracelets that come with a 999 pure gold tiger charm. 

#2 Symbolising wealth

This adorable range of pendants from CHOW TAI FOOK also comes with characters like 富, 福 or 财 inscribed at the back, doubling the symbolism of wealth for the wearer. 

Wear this pendant around your neck or wrist the next time you head into a salary discussion and it might just give you the confidence boost you need! 

#3 Symbolising peace and health

The beautiful thing about charm bracelets is that you can mix and match them however you want, and CHOW TAI FOOK has other variations of this dangling charm to denote prosperity or wealth too. To complete the look, get any one of their tiger charms as well for the Year of the Tiger!

#4 Symbolising prosperity

Disney fans, this is for you. CHOW TAI FOOK has Tsum Tsum-themed gold charms, dressed according to the theme of the Year of the Tiger. Our favourite? The Tigger charm bearing the word 福 - it’s too adorable for words! Wear it on a bracelet cord or bangle, but it’s so versatile that you might just end up finding even more fun ways to wear it. 

By the way, CHOW TAI FOOK also has a wide range of gold coins, each with its own unique design and packaging - including one that features Mickey Mouse and a tiger! 

#5 Symbolising blessings of joy

Want both good fortune and happiness? With a bit of artistic flair and creative license, renowned artist Dr Man-Kit Lam has come up with these calligraphy-inspired pieces that turn the Chinese character for good fortune, 福, into a happy face. Quite avant-garde, and a little bit unexpected - this is definitely a piece of jewellery that needs to be showcased front and centre! 

CHOW TAI FOOK has embossed this special character on a gold coin for those who are looking for a collectible, and there’s also another version with Dr Man-Kit Lam’s calligraphy of auspicious sayings.
