Our Welsh Dragon Pendant features a wyvern-styled dragon based on the heraldic standard of the flag of Wales in hand-cast sterling silver. The necklace pendant measures 1.5 inches across and comes with a sterling chain in 18, 20, 22 or 24 inches.
The great venomous serpent (beithir-nimh in Scottish Gaelic) often appeared on Summer nights during lightning strikes. The closest thing to a Western dragon in Scottish mythology, beithir began life as dead serpents. If a snake were beheaded and the head weren’t separated from the body by enough distance, the halves would come back together. As the sun set, a beithir would be born.
Often mistaken for wyverns in heraldic crests (wyverns have two legs, dragons have four), dragons of myth are best known for their keen senses and love of treasure. In heraldry, dragons symbolize the bravery and strength needed to protect even the greatest of treasures. One of the best known of these wyrms is the red dragon of Cadwaladr, King of Gwynedd, which appears on the Welsh flag.
