Japanese Dragon Fan Pendant — .925 Sterling Silver & Brass
SKU: 3303
A brass dragon on a silver fan — Japanese motif, two-tone metal, and small enough to wear every day. This Japanese dragon fan pendant combines a traditional sensu (folding fan) shape in .925 sterling silver with a dragon detail in polished brass. At 25×35mm and only 7 grams, it’s the lightest pendant in this dragon collection. The fan’s ribbed surface is oxidized for depth, and the brass dragon curls across the front with a warm gold tone against cool silver.
Best Suited For
If you want dragon jewelry without the heavy biker aesthetic — this pendant reads as elegant and cultural rather than aggressive. The fan shape softens the dragon motif. It works with blouses, dresses, and casual wear. Not every dragon pendant needs to weigh 20+ grams and look intimidating.
If you love Japanese art and design — the sensu fan is a classic element in Japanese visual culture. Adding a dragon to the fan connects two traditional motifs. The two-tone silver and brass reflects the metalwork you see in Japanese craft objects.
If you layer necklaces — at 7 grams and 25×35mm, this is a layering pendant. It doesn’t overpower other pieces. Stack it with a thin chain and a small charm above or below. The compact size gives you room to build a layered look without bulk.
What Wearing It Actually Feels Like
You barely feel it on the chain. Seven grams is light enough to forget you’re wearing a pendant. The fan lays flat against your chest — no three-dimensional bulk, no catching on fabric. The two-tone contrast is subtle from a distance but visible up close, which is part of the appeal. It’s jewelry that rewards a closer look rather than announcing itself across the room.
The Details That Matter
What People Want to Know
Q: Is this pendant designed for women?
It's designed as a women's piece based on its size and weight, but jewelry is personal. The fan-and-dragon motif is culturally unisex, and the 25×35mm size works on just about anyone. Plenty of men wear it layered on a thin chain. Wear what you like — the proportions don't lock it to one gender.
Q: What kind of chain works best?
At 7 grams, almost any chain works. A delicate 1–2mm box chain, a thin curb chain, or a simple ball chain all complement the pendant’s proportions. There’s no minimum chain thickness requirement for this weight.
Q: Will the brass part age differently than the silver?
Yes. Silver oxidizes to a grey-black patina in recesses. Brass develops a warmer amber tone. Over time, the contrast between the two metals actually becomes more pronounced. If you want to maintain the original look, clean each metal separately with the appropriate polish.
