About MeA pendant comprising a cabochon sapphire surmount from which hang three seed pearl chains attached to two enamelled sinuous dragons, supporting a large freshwater baroque pearl suspended between with three further pale sapphires collet set as drops.

The dragon motif is an interesting feature reflecting perhaps the artist's interest in collecting items from China and the Far East.
More About Me
This lovely piece of jewellery represents an interesting fusion between the Arts and Crafts style and Chinese influence as seen in the dragon motif.
