The Dragon clip from Van Cleef & Arpels’ private collection is a magnificent tribute to the Chinese mythical animal. Dragon stands for happiness, immortality, procreation, fertility and activity, it is believed to ward off evil spirits.
Created in a very realist style, it is portrayed as long, scaled, serpentine creatures with four legs. It is made of yellow gold and the eyes set with emerald. He has chased a ball in the form of a carved cabochon coral.
