This handcrafted Dragon Medallion is a powerful statement piece forged in solid sterling silver. Designed from a long-held vision, it was originally inspired by a desire to create something meaningful for my nephew—and years later, it has come to life as a tribute to ancient legends, personal strength, and spiritual growth.

The dragon depicted here is not fierce and menacing, but happy, old, and wise—a symbol of maturity, power, and thoughtful strength. The pendant has a satin finish with a darkened background that adds depth and contrast to the intricate design.

The Meaning Behind the Dragon

Dragons are legendary creatures rich with symbolism across many cultures. In some traditions, they represent chaos and destruction, often breathing fire and flying on mighty wings. But in others—particularly in Asian cultures—they are revered as guardians of wisdom, prosperity, and strength.

This medallion is influenced by my time living in Lao P.D.R., where the belief in water dragons—serpentine, wingless beings dwelling in rivers like the Mekong—is part of local folklore. Though I didn’t share the belief, witnessing the excitement and reverence for such stories was unforgettable. This pendant draws from that memory, embodying the serpent-style dragon that wraps around itself in a protective, meditative coil.

Wear this pendant as a symbol of your inner strength and wisdom, and as a reminder that you have the power to overcome challenges and become more than you imagined.
