Product Details
Some dreams wait patiently to be fulfilled. This is the story of a man who carried his vision for years—a bracelet that would bring his love for dragons to life. When he came to me, he brought a single emerald, a rich stone with history, and a deep desire to create something extraordinary.
Together, we embarked on a journey of artistry and craftsmanship. The design began with that emerald, a brilliant 8.6-carat Colombian treasure, embraced by the dragon’s coiled tail, forming the perfect teardrop. But the soul of the piece lay in the dragon itself—a creature of legend, fierce yet elegant, strong yet refined.
Carved by hand using the ancient disappearing wax technique, the dragon’s head emerged in 18K yellow gold, a composition of multiple parts to ensure balance—light enough to wear with ease, yet solid enough to last a lifetime. Its hollow structure allows light to pass through, illuminating the ruby-set eyes, capturing the intensity of its gaze.
A matte finish, accented by polished highlights, adds depth to the scales and contours, making the bracelet feel like a relic from another time—one forged in fire and shaped by destiny.
This is more than jewelry. It is a piece of a dream made real, a guardian wrapped around the wrist, carrying with it a story of passion, craftsmanship, and the magic of a vision finally fulfilled.
Let’s create yours.

again around a different stone and a different idea, and it will be

the client brought to me.

Shipping
Every order leaves my Jerusalem studio by FedEx or DHL Express, insured and signed for, door to door. There are no exceptions to this.
How long a piece takes to leave the studio depends on what it is:
- In stock: within 3 business days
- Made to order: about two weeks
- One of a Kind and commissions: agreed with you before work begins
Once a parcel is collected it usually goes on a flight the same day, and reaches most destinations within 1 to 3 days. Customs processing can add time, and that part is outside my control.
Duties and Taxes
Orders shipped outside Israel may be subject to local VAT and import duties. These are set by your own country and are your responsibility as the recipient, not mine. They are separate from the price you paid me and are not refundable.
Rates vary from country to country. If the amount matters to your decision, check with your local customs office before you order.
Commissions and Custom Design
Every commission begins with a design fee of $250 USD for each rendering. This pays for the time I spend developing a detailed 3D visualization of your piece, usually several days of work.
The fee covers up to three rounds of revisions on that rendering. Further revisions are $80 USD each, agreed with you in advance.
If you request more than one design direction, each rendering carries its own $250 fee, because each one is a separate piece of work.
When you go ahead with the order, the full amount you paid in design fees is credited against the price of the finished piece. You do not pay twice.
If you decide not to proceed after a rendering is complete, the fee is not refunded. The work has already been done.
The design itself, including every rendering and drawing I produce, remains my work and my property. It is sent to you so you can approve the piece, and it is not licensed for production by anyone else.
Particularly complex models may carry an additional design fee. I will tell you before starting, never after.
Returns, Refunds and Warranty
In short: ready-made pieces from the catalogue can be returned within 14 days, unworn and in their original packaging. Pieces made to order, One of a Kind pieces and commissions cannot, because each one was made for a specific person. Every piece I make is covered against defects in material and workmanship.
The full terms are set out in my return and refund policy, my shipping policy, and sections 5A to 5C of my terms of service. If something is wrong with your order, write to me before anything else. I would rather fix it than have you keep a piece you are unhappy with.
