Chinese Silver Enamel Coral Dragon Bracelet

By Susan January 17, 2008

As a collector, I love to find variations on a theme …the two dragons chasing the pearl is one of the most common images in Chinese ornaments and this is the third dragon and pearl bracelet that I have written about.

Hand cut salmon coral beads; threaded and wrapped … sliver dragons with blue enamel highlights … solid silver pearl.

Just look at the three bracelets …. they say more about the creativity and ethnic diversity of the Chinese silversmith than I can.
