Very eye catching costume jewelry necklace featuring captivating copper colored metal Shinto style dual dragons holding a beautiful purple glass jewel with an amazing dichromatic style effect that looks like a mystical portal. It is extremely dynamic and changes with every angle and when light hits it. This particular form of dragon looks very much like the dragons in Japanese culture revered as Kami - or powerful spirits, particularly in Ryūjin shinkō a subset of Shinto that regards dragons as beings to be revered as spiritual guides. These dragons represent protection, agriculture and the balance between creation and destruction. They are often seen as having power over the water, the rain and the ocean and therefore life and abundance providers. The center glass bead looks like the movie special effect that indicates magic- swirling unknowns… ya dig? The clasp is very unique and sturdy featuring a flower embellishment. Measurements- chain stretched out: 30 1/2” long Main droplet Dragon pendant: 1 3/“ long 1 1/2” wide
