An auspicious Chinese dragon bracelet; his vigorous sterling silver body wraps around the wrist. His repoussé head is wrought in exquisite three-dimensional detail, with fierce silver whiskers and fiery coral eyes. His clawed feet stand on lapis lazuli clouds. Delicately engraved scales cover his sinuous body, inside the bracelet and out. The entire surface of this fantastic bracelet is elaborately worked and amazing from every angle. This bangle is hinged and fastens on one side with a small screw. Circa 1970.

The Dragon is the most potent symbol of good fortune in the Chinese pantheon of symbols. Historically, Chinese emperors believed themselves to be descended from dragons, emphasizing the Dragon's revered position within the culture.
