In PAK SIU-YAU (LEE SZE KEE, LOUISE)'s eyes, her three daughters are just as perfect as diamonds. She believes that the greatest blessing for a woman is to marry a wealthy man. To guarantee a better life for her daughters, she has started training the girls since they were young, hoping that they will marry into the richest families when they mature.

YAU's first daughter HONG NGA-YIN (SIU MEI KI, MAGGIE) does not agree with her on her values. Yet when she sees that the man YIN is going out with is KO CHEUNG-SING (LAM, BOWIE), who is very well-off, she decides to let YIN go with her choice. YAU's second daughter HONG NGA-TUNG (LAI CHI, GIGI) is hopelessly romantic but does not seem to have much luck with men. To make it up to her, YAU seeks to match her up with HO CHIT-NAM (CHAN HO, MOSES), the son of Hong Kong's most powerful business tycoon HO FUNG (NGOK HUA). Being the youngest in the family, HONG NGA-SZ (CHOI SIU FUN, ADA) is well aware of YAU's concerns. Having recovered from divorce, SZ now decides to pin all her hopes on FUNG.

YAU's persistence pays off and her daughters have all found a wealthy husband. But money does not really bring them happiness and the sisters are gradually losing themselves in vanity.

鑽禧 - 關淑怡

作曲: 趙增熹
填詞: 林夕

花枝擠天地 憑名氣 憑靈氣
憑傻氣 憑什麽可採探自己
招展惹妒忌 誰狂喜 誰隨喜
誰揚起 一身珠光寶氣
*風眼下耀眼的對象 沒有心眼又怎鑒定 心底的精確賣相
經過金粉擦亮 誰又堅貞得跟鑽石較量
誰曾在 華麗國浮蕩流盡冷汗
頓覺可以被擁抱著 看星光 更風光
誰曾盛放 為了可以被看 都不鑒辨婚戒便瘋狂
多少卡寶藏 是要將愛念永久珍藏
多少卡感動的鑽禧 都矜貴耐看

多姿的演技 純如鑽 強如鋼
求完美 無暇得可收買自己
多彩裡競技 隨時機 隨玄機
隨年紀 找真假的福氣

Repeat *
