Dancing Crane Necklace

Dancing Crane

Dancing Crane is a necklace shaped like a crane. The long neck of the crane is bent into a slender arc and forms the collar. Simple lines outline the overall shape and contrast with the detailed lines of the tail and the wings. The head is linked to the tail, so the bird appears to look back and comb its feathers. White diamonds, black diamonds, ice jadeite and a ruby are set into the gold body. Hidden buckles behind the collar allow the piece to be separated. The tail becomes a brooch, the wings become a pendant, and the remaining head and neck form a simple necklace for daily wear.
