Description

The Bi disc or circular jade with a hole in the middle can be traced to the Neolithic period. According to Chinese scholars, this symbolized the sky or the sun's orbit, and was used in ritualistic ceremonies. The distinctive jade Bi disc from the Southern Song dynasty is one of the precious collections of the Museum. Its grain patterns have been reproduced onto the pewter cufflinks.

132 years of Craftsmanship

Since 1885, our designers and craftsmen have expressed their love and understanding of the material by continuously pushing the envelope in pewter design while staying true to our heritage of craftsmanship. Each Royal Selangor item is hand cast by pouring molten pewter into steel moulds quickly and efficiently.

After cooling, each individual pewter piece is polished and soldered onto other appendages such as spouts and handles, all done by hand. This attention to detail and precision has made Royal Selangor's pewter pieces durable and timeless.
