Year 2023 is a “double spring leap year” in the lunar calendar, meaning that there are two days that mark the beginning of spring.
Approximately every three years, an additional, or leap month, is added to the lunar calendar to remain in sync with the solar calendar, resulting in two springs in a lunar year cycle when that happens.
And in Chinese culture, that makes an auspicious time to tie the knot. Needless to say, all gathering restrictions are finally lifted too, to double the long-anticipated celebration of love for the newlyweds.
Head over to Harbour City with your better half as you look for the most perfect pair of wedding rings. The one-stop hub is where you can discover trendy designs as well as the classic heirloom-worthy pieces to treasure for a lifetime.
Rosy tint
Clean lines always make the most classy styles that stand the test of time. For the groom-to-be, Tiffany’s T Collection True 8 mm Ring in 18K Rose Gold features graphic angles with intricate links of the interlocking letter T motifs in a bold alternating pattern, celebrating strength in love and partnership. The bride-to-be, meanwhile, will love the True Wide Ring from the collection. The same design in striking round brilliant pavé diamonds makes the mark as a bridal band.
Thanks to the added copper alloy, not only does rose gold symbolize true love, it is also a harder metal than pure gold to withstand day-to-day wear.
Forever yours
If you and your partner have cooler skin tone, bright and silvery metals may flatter you better. De Beers’ Infinity Band in 18K white gold artfully embodies the interwoven design codes with twisting bands meeting, the ultimate symbol of grace and beauty.
Drawing inspiration from the Greek myth of Penelope patiently awaiting the return of her husband Odysseus for over 20 years, the Infinity Collection captures the enduring commitment. Besides the 6.5 mm style, a daintier version Infinity half pavé band is also available, featuring a delicate row of round brilliant diamonds. Both designs can be worn seamlessly together with your engagement ring and apart.
Statement-making promise
Contemporary and one-of-a-kind, Boucheron’s Quatre Classique Wedding Band is a modern design that combines pink gold, white gold, and brown PVD, engraved and polished at the Place Vendôme workshops in France.

The harmony between facets of the studs and the smooth edges of the design symbolizes the romantic bond between the newlyweds.
Match made in heaven
