In most ancient cultures, including the Celtic tradtion, dragons and serpent/beasts were associated with the Earth as guardians and protectors. Dragons in those times were benevolent unless the energy of the Earth was in peril. I wanted to convey this energy, and hopefully brought this non threatening talisman to life with this representation.

This design was developed and crafted as an artistic challenge to use all forms of celtic art on one design.  These forms include: knotwork, spirals, key patterns and natural form.  Is it possible that the Dragon has awakened in these modern times and within us to defend our beloved planet? As far as our awareness as humans is concerned, may it be so!  

This size design at around 1 1/4" tall, is a nice dimention for the design, and expresses a clean lineweight of the intended pattern without being too large or small. This piece works well on the 1.5mm chain for women, but is better on the 2.0mm (shown) for men and women who like more chain presence (chain not included). I have included some size references, and the group shot includes the medallion size for comparison with the quarter for size correlation.
