Concepts behind jewellery: From ancestral inspirations to purification of the body and the soul.
That holds the truest when it comes to the Dragon jewelleries in new-age designs, something that helps to heal a wearer. It’s different from charms, yet has special powers and capable of bestowing good luck. The nomenclature relates to the mythological dragons that are held as the epitome of guardianship and emanates power according to the metaphysical ideologies they are built upon and also captures the cosmic reflections.
But to the fashion oriented, the catchiest feature about dragon jewelleries is that they are here to stay, outliving the trends that come and go every year. Quite so, for when did diamonds, sapphires and rubies on yellow gold go out of fashion? From brooches to pendants, from rings and earrings to necklaces, the range is a varied one even if we don’t take into account the multi colored semi-precious stone collections that are equally captivating.
At the heart of it, dragon jewelleries are essentially Asian in their origin and Chinese brands (e.g. Caibai, Yuewang and Yunnan) rule the roost in this regard. Ancient Chinese tradition now seeks to have a look of the whole wide world around, so it goes without saying that modernity blends perfectly with the conventional Asian artistry.
Are they expensive? Yes and No; considering the styles and the material, they are not; for those willing to graduate from oxidized metal or junk stuff, they definitely are; however, the range being varied, there are lots that everyone can afford.
