From time immemorial, people have been believing in creatures that don’t really exist. Chimeras, gargoyles, Loch Ness monsters, centaurs, and other semi-human semi-animals live in the legends and myths from around the world. However, there is no creature more powerful and contradictory than the dragon. It is considered a monster in some countries and a patron in others. Regardless of the location, people gravitate toward dragon jewelry. And this is why.
Dragons are symbols of Good luck, Success, and Wealth.
Dragons that supposedly live in the east (China, Japan, and South Korea) are good-natured creatures that help people in their endeavors. Although there is a wide range of variations – some dragons live in the sky, in the water, in caves – their meanings are centered around good luck, wealth, happiness, etc. Some species of dragons possess great treasures. To acquire such a treasure is to become a great person. Most often, these treasures are not physical but metaphorical since knowledge has the greatest value. The symbol of these treasures is the pearl that the dragon carries in its mouth, forehead, or chin.
Dragons are Symbols of Vice
Dragons that live in European countries are nowhere near as friendly as their Asian counterparts. They represent destructive forces, evil, vice, and hostility. Meeting such a dragon does not bode well. European dragons also keep treasures, but they don’t want to share them with anyone. Why wear jewelry with such a sinister symbol?
Because it represents the vices that you want to eradicate in yourself. The dragon is a daily reminder that you want to be a better person. The only sure way to achieve your goal is to fight the evil that lies within. Most commonly, jewelry that conveys this particular meaning depicts dragon-conquering knights. Sometimes, instead of a knight, you can see his attributes such as a sword, helmet, shield, lancet, etc.
European and Asian dragons have many differences. Chinese mythical serpents feature a slender supple body with legs but no wings. Their ability to fly is concentrated in a bump at the base of the skull. In addition, their head bears horns, and their chin has sort of a beard. European dragons feature a stocky physique; they often have a round belly. Mighty wings, somewhat reminiscent those of bats, lift them into the air. You will not see a beard or horns on the head of such creatures.
You should be careful when choosing dragon jewelry as your talisman since different types of dragons have different meanings.
Dragons and Their Representation
A lot depends on how your jewelry depicts the dragon. No matter if it is Asian or European, if it shows its teeth and claws, it symbolizes aggression. It is not necessarily an evil symbol. If you are used to achieving your goal despite the difficulties, if your enemies or life circumstances are not able to break your spirit, then such a representation of the dragon is exactly the right thing.
If your dragon pendants, rings, bracelets, etc depict the mythical creature asleep or pacified, they indicate a good disposition, meekness, friendliness, and a willingness to help those in need. A dragon holding a pearl is the patron saint of thinkers, doers, and innovators. Such jewelry is indispensable if you want to improve your cognitive skills or are looking for inspiration and creativity.
Dragons with golden scales are the patrons of the sky and the noblest of flying serpents. They are said to bring good luck and show the way to wealth.
A dragon with an egg can become a powerful talisman for mothers. It increases vigilance and helps to understand children. If you meet a woman with such a talisman, then most likely her family means the world to her, and she will go to great lengths to protect it.
How To Wear Dragon Jewelry
You shouldn’t have multiple dragons in your jewelry, as they tend to fight for the attention of their master instead of focusing on their protective functions. In addition, experts advise avoiding wearing talismans featuring mythical serpents around the heart area. This symbol has such a powerful energy that even good intentions may depress your vitality. Moreover, you should not wear dragon rings on your left hand because it is believed that it is connected with the heart. We don’t recommend using dragon hair accessories either. Being a domineering creature, the dragon can seek self-affirmation if you put it above your head. Instead, let your dragons rest on your chest, on your wrist, or the fingers of your right hand.
Esoteric experts suggest performing a special ritual to awaken the powers of your dragon talisman. To do this, you need to wake up at dawn and wash your dragon figurine in clean running water. The next step is to draw dots on its eyes with a new brush and put our dragon toward the east. After that, your talisman will gain its powers. And the last condition – you must believe in the power of your talisman. Your faith is the fuel for its protective properties.
