Environmental Impact Statement

At 128.6 grams, this necklace’s reuse of existing materials is estimated to avoid 17.7 kg of CO₂e, roughly the tailpipe emissions of driving 71 kilometres in an average car, and 141 litres of freshwater.

Estimated environmental savings are based on the materials and weights in this piece and Asymmetric by Design’s proprietary environmental-impact model, commissioned by Asymmetric by Design and developed by Oxia Initiative. Results estimate the impact avoided by reusing existing materials instead of sourcing an equivalent quantity of newly produced, mined or sourced material. Figures are modelled estimates, not direct measurements.

Questions about this dragon necklace

What does a dragon necklace symbolize?

I have always loved the symbolism of dragons: empowerment, good luck, fortune and prosperity. This piece is inspired by the legendary black dragon, a symbol of power, mystery and protection, so it is a necklace for claiming your space in the world.

Are the dragon pipes antique?

No. I found the antique dragon pipes in Vietnam, and this necklace uses replicas of them. The agate is old stock and the silver Afghan beads are vintage.

Buying a piece

How long does shipping take?

Orders leave within 1 to 3 business days by Express Post and arrive in 2 to 5 business days across Canada, insured and tracked. International orders travel by Canada Post in 2 to 3 weeks, with duties paid by the buyer.

Can I return a piece?

Yes. Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery, with return shipping at the buyer’s cost.

Will it fit, and can the length be changed?

The necklaces featured in my collections run from 16 to 18 inches, and each product’s Details tab gives its length. A length or clasp change is $20 CAD plus materials, and matching earrings are $25 CAD. Write to me before you order and I will tell you what the piece allows.

Is it really antique or vintage?

I describe every material exactly as I know it. Most of my components are antique, vintage or recycled, with some recent ones, and each product page names which is which. Write to me to ask what is known of any piece before you order.

Why is each piece one of a kind?

Most designs are one of a kind, because they are built from treasures I have collected since 1978, and no two components are the same. Occasionally, limited quantities of particular components allow related designs. When a piece is gone, it is gone.

What if I have a metal allergy?

The metal content of antique and vintage components cannot be guaranteed, so please tell me about any allergy before you order. I will tell you what I know of the piece, or suggest one that suits you better.
