A relief-carved dragon amulet that earns a second look.

A deep red disc carries a dragon coiling through clouds, its scaled body raised in relief above a pierced openwork ground. A greek key border frames the design, and a small crowned dragon head sits at the very top of the disc, giving the pendant a talisman quality that a plain chain never achieves. The black braided cord is dressed with a red barrel bead incised with characters and a single round red bead above the pendant. The deep red reads against black lace, leather, a slip dress, or dark academia knitwear. Wear it long over a high neckline, or knot it short so the dragon rests at the collarbone. The dragon motif carries luck and protection symbolism, which gives it weight as a birthday gift, a witchy gift, or an anniversary gift for someone who names her aesthetic. Each order is one pendant necklace on cord.
