Vintage Chinese Silver Lapis Lazuli Necklace Double Dragon Pendant Multi-wear

About the Item

This vintage beaded Lapis necklace is a striking piece of jewelry that exudes both elegance and versatility. Measuring a generous 42 inches in total length, the necklace offers multi-wear options, allowing it to be worn either as a single loop or doubled for a layered look. The beads, approximately 8mm in diameter, are crafted from high-quality Lapis, a gemstone renowned for its deep blue hue and golden flecks. These beads are complemented by patinated silver accent beads, adding a touch of vintage charm and sophistication to the piece. The crowning glory of this necklace is its intricately carved and pierced double dragon Lapis pendant, measuring 5.2 x 5.4 cm. The double dragon motif is a symbol of power, strength, and good luck, making this necklace not just a beautiful accessory but also a meaningful talisman. The necklace is secured with a patinated silver clasp, which not only ensures durability but also seamlessly blends with the overall aesthetic of the piece. This vintage beaded Lapis necklace is a perfect blend of craftsmanship, beauty, and symbolism, making it a timeless addition to any jewelry collection.
