Small Antique Inspired Chinese Dragon Hair Comb
The rise and fall of the great dynasties forms a thread that runs through Chinese history. China can trace her culture back to a blend of small original tribes which have expanded till they became the great country we have today. Chinese society has progressed through five major stages: primitive society, slave society, feudal society, semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, and the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1st, 1949, China has become a socialist society. Chinaâs ability to evolve and conform to the demands of every new era is what makes it a powerful superpower and something to be revered and respected. With so much relevant history and influence today no matter where we are in the world, China is a part of us as a people of the globe. With this ever progressing, ever present culture of united people I bring you my 3rd collection of Chinese inspired jewelry. This small Chinese inspired sterling silver dragon hair comb is the fourth piece in my 3rd Collection of ancient Chinese inspired jewelry. Graced with two dragons facing each other at the top with an ornately designed background, this piece is very lovely! Measures approx 2 1/2' by 1 1/2'… This comb is for decoration, so it would require one to pre-pin up the hair or style the hair then add in as additional decoration…not to be used to hold the hair up…I find myself re-teaching alot of young women and girls the art of self adornment… Sold solo, but would be perfect worn as a pair! Upon ordering please let me know if you'd like antique, satin, or polished finish. All Alberto Juan jewelry comes in a protective Velvet black bag also shown in some listings.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Flowing forth from the heart of its head designer and founder, Bruce Snell, every Alberto Juan creation is shaped from a particular point of view, usually detailed more specifically in its description.
There's no way to put your finger on Alberto Juan designs, with each new piece and unfolding collection, the inspiration varies and is as multi-faceted as Bruce has inspirations or dimensions of personality .
He is continually influenced by modern trends as well as recalling the eras of jewelry's antiquity. With each new evolution, new insights re-shape and revive those periods with a fresh yet classic perspective, allowing us all to re-live in moments long past.
The one of a kind collection comes from this love of vintage and estate finds of which various parts are repurposed to fit a certain theme, often reflected in its name.
In June of 2007, Bruce began casting his first collection of Ram motif jewelry and in early 2008, incorporated the Alberto Juan LCC.
