Best Bohemian Dragon Magnifier Pendant Necklace Necklaces

Art jewelry inspired by a Met treasure.A celebration of whimsy and artistry, this handcrafted magnifier pendant nods to the exquisite foliate detailing on an imaginative Bohemian ewer (a vase-shaped pitcher) (ca. 1680) in The Met collection. A tangle of fantastical tails and scales supports a smoky rock-crystal basin fiercely protected by a dragon, whose serpentine form creates a handle. The Museum’s remarkable Renaissance-style vessel is attributed to the workshop of the 17th-century artisan Ferdinand Eusebio Miseroni (Italian, active Prague, working 1656–84); however, certain elements indicate that it was reworked in the early 19th century.
