Kenneth J. Lane Double Dragon Bracelet

NWS 5-1625

~ From America's Living Legend of fine costume jewelry, Kenneth J. Lane, comes this exquisite enameled and crystal bracelet. Originally only 200 of these double dragon bracelets were made, in a limited edition entitled, "Year Of The Dragon". In a single heart beat, all 200 bracelets were gone. Lane's adoring collectors demanded that he make more, so he did. Lucky us!

~ This bracelet has a tightly coiled spring hinge, a KJL trademark, which allows for varying wrist sizes, and joins the bodies of two exquisitely appointed green and crystal-clad dragons.

~ Magnificent green guilloche enamel has been applied by hand over the intricately outlined scales of the dragon's body, on a gold tone base metal.

~ Handset with Austrian crystals in four bands along each body, the crowning glory is the impeccable detail found on the heads of the dragons:  from massive, pavé-set crystal stones, to the turquoise cabochons framing the roaring dragons' mouths, this is one magnificent piece! Their white enameled fangs will protect you throughout your day when you wear this unforgettable bracelet!

~ Faux ruby cabochon eyes are included in the details.
