Type: Gold "Dragon" necklace with gold chain necklace

Description: 14k yellow gold dragon design holding a bezel set, pear shaped Australian black opal suspended from a clutch/slider bail on a 14k yellow gold necklace.

Method: Dragon design, bezel, and clutch bail were hand fabricated in 14k yellow gold. Dragon design was "carved" by hand using engraver's tools from a piece of sheet gold and attached to the custom fitted pear-shaped bezel for bezel setting the opal. Clutch bail was fabricated with articulated links to suspend the opal/dragon piece. Cork was used as a "clutch" inside of this bail to provide slight friction on an Italian manufactured 14k yellow gold chain.

Dimensions: Pendant: approx. 28mm by 12mm overall; necklace: approx 20 inches in length

Circa: 1978
