Chinese legend tells that pearls are the essence of the moon. In scrolls and embroidered robes, dragons chase after a pearl that may represent wisdom or qi, the life force that underlies Chinese medicine. In this handcrafted necklace, substantial baroque pearls alternate with asymmetrical oval hoops to create a distinctive conversation piece. Made in China. 14-karat gold-plated aluminum and pearls. Adj. 18–19 3/4"L. Note: all pieces are unique and the pearls may not look like what’s pictured.
