A golden dragon ring, meticulously crafted, showcasing a swirling dragon motif intricately carved from 9k gold, adorned with a dazzling array of diamonds set in black rhodium. Along the dragon's back, a scarab motif intricately inlaid within black rhodium plated silver adds a touch of mystique. Rubies grace the tail, lending a fiery elegance to the design. The dragon's head is a masterpiece in itself, featuring diamond settings in black rhodium plated gold. Its horns, crafted from black rhodium plated silver, culminate in a stunning green tsavorite setting in 9k gold atop each one. With vibrant ruby eyes that seem to breathe life into the piece, this ring is truly a captivating work of art.
The scarab beetle was holy in ancient Egypt and China because of its remarkable reproduction process. Each piece is carefully selected according to color and is shaved to the desired thickness and then carefully glued on. The color of each piece is extremely fast and will last for several hundred years. It will also change from green to blue depending on the light. This is an exotic and magical set of jewelry which requires great skills to produce.
Throughout diverse cultures and histories, dragons are woven into a rich tapestry of symbolism. In Chinese lore, they symbolize power, good fortune, and rulership over the elements—Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind. As the fifth of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals, the Dragon is associated with the Earthly branch symbol, pronounced chen. Often depicted chasing a flaming Pearl, it symbolizes energy, wisdom, prosperity, power, and immortality. In Greek myths, dragons intertwine with heroic quests, such as Heracles' encounter with the Ladon. Dragons serve as multifaceted symbols, representing storms or regality, villains or protectors. In East Asian culture, the Dragon, as a totem, is a powerful guardian and guide, symbolizing good luck for those deemed worthy. LAdV embraces this universal allure, blending tradition with modernity to craft expressive, stylish, and playful dragon-themed designs.
