This vintage 1950s cloisonné enamel dragon is an exceptional example of fine wirework and enamel craftsmanship, bursting with color, character, and incredible detail. A convertible brooch and pendant, it features a bold, mythical dragon with vibrant turquoise blue, bright green, and earthy red enamel on what appears to be gold over silver.

The dragon's scales are rendered in fine cloisonné wirework, giving it texture and life, while its curled whiskers, detailed claws, sharp teeth, and even the enameled back show the thoughtful artistry of this piece. It’s rare to see so much detail and dimension packed into such a wearable size.

This striking brooch is perfect for a lover of dragons, fantasy, or mythology, and makes a thoughtful gift for someone born in the Year of the Dragon—or a unique and powerful piece to treat yourself.
