Wendy Brandes Yellow Gold Dragon Earrings With Pearls, Diamonds, and Tsavorites
About the Item
This one-of-a-kind pair of earrings was inspired by the 7th century's Empress Wu -- the only female ruler of China to refer to herself as “Emperor” during her reign. Historians changed it to “Empress” later. As happens to many powerful women -- in the past and the present -- Wu was referred to as a "dragon lady." Wendy was inspired to take that pejorative and turn it into a work of wearable art. Giving these stunning earrings a 3-dimensional, sculptural look worth of an empress took Wendy's artisans months to accomplish. No detail was spared — you can even find an 18K rose gold tongue inside of of each dragon's mouth.
Approx. 1 oz (combined weight) 18K yellow gold, satin finish.
Each dragon has a forked tongue in 18K rose gold.
The diamonds in the horns are set in platinum.
Black rhodium detail.
Two 1.7 point tsavorite eyes in each earring (3.4 points total for pair).
6.5 points of diamonds in each earring (13 points total for pair).
Pearls.
One-of-a-kind.
As seen on supermodel Bella Hadid for Paper Magazine.
Additional details: Lever closure ensure a comfortable and stable fit.

Wendy Brandes Jewelry
About the Designer: Jewelry design is Wendy Brandes’s second career. Wendy started out as a business journalist at the Wall Street Journal and CNN, later switching to pop-culture coverage during her tenure as managing editor of People magazine’s website. Her story-telling skills remain as strong as ever, but they’re now expressed in carat weight and grams of gold instead of word count. Wendy's “Fine Jewelry for Witty People" is distinguished by its stellar workmanship; warm, satin finish; hidden and symbolic details, including mechanical parts; and wry commentary on everything from history to iPhone addiction. Her award-winning 18K yellow gold collection -- featured here -- is inspired by fascinating women, and all designs are limited-edition or one-of-a-kind. Wendy has been featured in the New York Times, W Magazine, and British Vogue, and her jewelry has been spotted on Rihanna, model Bella Hadid and Britney Spears.
