Crafted by skilled artisans, this exquisite bracelet features an inlaid ebony bead adorned with a stunning scarab design and crowned with two pink gold-plated Sterling silver dragon heads. Meticulously molded to capture the essence of yin-yang dualism, these intricately crafted dragon heads showcase the nimble and creative artistry of the creators. The beads themselves are crafted from ebony wood, intricately carved and adorned with hand-cut scarab wings, culminating in a truly majestic and captivating design.
The two ‘contending dragons’, are the yin-yang forces of dualism, all opposites and complements, celestial and terrestrial powers; they usually have either the sun or night shining pearl, the moon between them; backing each other they symbolize the yin-yang and eternity; chasing each other’s tails they depict the two-way creative action of the yin-yang powers.
As a totem, Dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck for people who are worthy of it in East Asian culture. The Dragon is also the fifth of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. The Year of the Dragon is associated with the Earthly Branch symbol 辰, pronounced chen. According to Chinese zodiac compatibility, people born in the Year of the Dragon could get along well with Rooster, Rat, and Monkey.
