Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace, "Chinese Zodiac Dragon"

Jantana designs a fabulous jewelry collection inspired by the Chinese zodiac. The style of the pendant recalls China's millenary paper cutting art known as jianzhi. It is masterfully cut by hand from a sheet of brushed sterling silver symbolizing the dragon. As the mightiest of the signs, people born under this sign are said to be dominant and ambitious. Dragons prefer to live by their own rules and if left on their own, are usually successful.

A sign under the Chinese zodiac is determined by year of birth rather than the day of birth. There are 12 signs, symbolized by animals. The particular sign rules a whole lunar year therefore it is only repeated every 60 years.
