John Hardy Naga Collection sterling silver and 18 karat gold dragon earrings set with a single ruby as the eye of the dragon and pave diamonds round drop. First purchased at the launch of John Hardy's Naga Collection in 2008 and has been in original owner's collection since that time.

While John Hardy's Naga collection has continued to include many beautiful variations, these earrings with the diamond pave drops were exclusively part of the original 2008 launch collection and thus rare.

John Hardy’s Naga Collection is based on a powerful story of love and protection. The Naga dragon lives alone on the Tiga Gunung volcanoes, but his one true love, the pearl, lives in the sea. At Twilight, the dragon dives into the sea to visit and kiss the pearl. On his way back to the volcanoes his wet scales send water upon the rice fields, making the soil fertile and rich.The John Hardy Naga Dragon was first introduced in 2008 as the jewelry designer’s first figurative piece. Black woven leather, silver and precious 18K gold, and beautiful scale-like patterns have been used to create bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and rings. The results are abstract and figurative interpretations of the revered dragon. Pieces that feature the dragon can be worn facing inward to bestow love and abundance, or outward for protection.
