Dragon Scale Cuff
925 sterling silver, lost-wax cast
Overlapping scales chasing each other around the wrist, tapering at both ends into a point. Cast in one piece using the lost-wax method, so no two cuffs carry exactly the same scale depth.
This is the heaviest piece in the Dragon Line at 28 grams of solid silver. It has real presence on the arm — cold for the first minute, then warm.
Open cuff, gently adjustable. Fits wrists from 14cm upward.
What it means
The Dragon
In Chinese cosmology the dragon is not a monster to be slain — it is the steward of rain, rivers and good harvest. Unlike the fire-breathing Western dragon, it is a bringer of abundance. Scale patterns specifically signify protection: overlapping plates that leave no gap for harm to enter.

The long version
The Dragon, in context
In Chinese cosmology the dragon is not a monster to be slain — it is the steward of rain, rivers and good harvest. Unlike the fire-breathing Western dragon, it is a bringer of abundance. Scale patterns specifically signify protection: overlapping plates that leave no gap for harm to enter.
If you want the fuller history — where this form first appears, how it travelled, and the variations that exist across regions — our symbol guide covers it in about fifteen hundred words per entry. No fluff, and we cite where we can.
