TO celebrate the Year of the Snake, jeweller Tomei has unveiled its 2025 Spring Festival Collection.
This year’s collection reflects three auspicious blessings: bountiful harvests, family prosperity and eternal vitality.
These themes reflect Tomei’s commitment to celebrating Chinese cultural heritage and sharing joy with customers nationwide.
The five-series collection was launched by Tomei group managing director Datuk Ng Yih Pyng at the jeweller’s “Auspicious Year of the Snake” event.
Also present were Tomei general manager Mary Lu, group marketing deputy head Ng Yi Jia and product development manager Jane Ngew.
The collection is now available at over 50 Tomei outlets nationwide.
The line-up includes:
> The Auspicious Snake Collection – Highlighting the elegance of the zodiac snake.
> The Glorious Culture by Tomei – A blend of cultural motifs and feng shui.
> Tomei Blissful Collection – Offering blessings for loved ones.
> Tomei Fortune Collection – Attracting financial growth.
> Tomei Chomel CNY Series – Youthful, heartwarming pieces for the younger generation.
Yih Pyng said the inspiration for this year’s collection drew deeply from the cultural symbolism of the Year of the Snake, aligning it with contemporary aspirations.
Each product in the collection incorporates distinctive elements to highlight its auspicious meaning. For example:
> The snake scales adopt the tortoiseshell pattern, symbolising health and longevity.
> The snake’s flicking tongue embodies keen perception, reflecting blessings of foresight and opportunities.
> The coiled tail of the snake signifies harvesting and gathering abundance.
Other traditional Chinese patterns − such as the ripple motif −symbolise wealth, happiness and eternity, reinforcing the collection’s core messages of prosperity, family well-being, and endless vitality.
This year, Tomei also has lion dance-themed designs, including gold ang pow, pendants and charms, to support the joint Malaysia-China application to list the lion dance as a Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage.
“The lion dance is beloved by all Malaysians and represents unity and cultural pride.
“Tomei is honoured to play a role in raising awareness for this iconic tradition through our designs,” said Yih Pyng.
