Get Dragon Jewelry

1. Choose a Western or Eastern dragon for your jewelry depending on which appeals to you more. For example, Eastern dragons tend to be associated with luck and protection, while Western dragons are thought of as symbols of pride and strength.
2. Buy dragon jewelry that has gems incorporated into the design. Many dragon jewelry pieces feature real gems like rubies and emeralds which greatly increases the value of each piece.
3. Choose a dragon design that features the dragon swallowing its own tail. This is meant to symbolize timelessness and perpetuity. Rings will often feature a dragon swallowing its own tail.
4. Head to an art walk or an independent art festival. Often there are artists who produce a wide range of dragon products, including candles, statuettes and jewelry.
5. Get a dragon claw pendant, one of the more popular forms of dragon jewelry. Dragon claw pendants feature a dragon's claw holding a stone. Sometimes the stone is simple glass but pearl or opal is often used.
6. Get a Tibetan silver dragon bracelet. Highly popular in that mysterious Far East region, the Tibetan silver bracelet features an intricate silver weave that ends in the heads of two different Eastern dragons. They are typically one size fits all since they require no clasps.

Tips & Warnings

• Buy a necklace independently of a dragon charm. Often the necklaces provided with charms are not intended for regular use and susceptible to damage.
• Choose jewelry that is hypoallergenic. Some people have reactions to silver, leather and other materials. Just ask what materials are used to make a dragon piece before you get it.
• Be aware that some dragon jewelry could be considered a choking hazard for children. Be careful what size charm, ring or necklace you're giving to one of your younger loved ones.
• Note that some dragon jewelry should be considered more of a novelty and only worn very rarely. This is because many independent artists might use less durable materials like clay to create their jewelry.
