Red and gold jewellery: Fantastic festive finery for CNY

While in some cultures, the colour red may signify aggression, in China, red is the most auspicious colour of all. Especially during Chinese New Year, there’s an abundance of red everywhere, from red lanterns to red packets. Legend has it that, once upon a time, a vicious monster Nian would haunt villages during Chinese New Year, eating crops, cattle and even small children. Apparently, Nian was only afraid of two things: fire and the colour red. The beast was finally beaten weaponizing the colour red, and from then on, red has come to symbolise the good luck in Chinese culture. So what better time to flaunt your love for red than during the Chinese New Year. Check out our collection of premium red and gold jewellery to embrace good vibes not just during this auspicious period but for the whole year.
