Guan Yin sits side-saddle at the centre in flowing robes, one hand lowered, the other across her body. Beneath her the dragon turns through cloud scrolls: the head and whiskered jaw come forward at the lower left, the body loops behind her, and the finned tail sweeps up the right-hand side and ends in a curl of flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBehind her head is a double ring and a pierced flame mandorla.\u003c\/strong\u003e The arch is filled with cut-through leaf-and-flame scrollwork that reads as light around her, and the two polished rings of the halo sit against it like a target. It is the one place on the piece where the metal is left bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEverything sculpted is finished to a fine frosted matte.\u003c\/strong\u003e The robes, the clouds, the dragon's scales and mane and the folds of her sleeves are all sandblasted; the frame, the halo rings and the bezel are polished. That split is what lets this much detail stay legible at 34mm — shine would flatten it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe relief stands on a mirror-polished back plate.\u003c\/strong\u003e Figure, dragon and clouds are cut deep and undercut, with gaps between them, and the polished plate behind catches whatever is around it — so the open spaces read dark in hard light and bright in shade. Seen edge-on the piece is a flat plate with the whole scene standing proud of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe back is plain.\u003c\/strong\u003e One smooth, mirror-polished face, following the same lotus-bud outline, with the stamp on the bail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA single row of round diamonds runs the full outline\u003c\/strong\u003e — up over the arch, in at both waists, out around the lower lobes and along the bottom. \u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 67 stones\u003c\/strong\u003e in that row, each bead-set between a polished inner and outer edge. The \u003cstrong\u003ebail\u003c\/strong\u003e is a hinged two-row pavé post, \u003cstrong\u003eroughly 22 stones\u003c\/strong\u003e across its front face, with a 6mm opening; its reverse is plain polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuan Yin is the bodhisattva of compassion; the dragon she rides is the older Chinese emblem of moving water and weather. Put together they are the standard reading of the pair — mercy with real force behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy You’ll Love It:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRiding, Not Standing\u003c\/strong\u003e – She sits side-saddle on a dragon that coils through cloud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePierced Flame Mandorla\u003c\/strong\u003e – Cut-through scrollwork behind a double polished halo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrosted Relief, Polished Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e – Sandblasted figure against bright metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMirror-Polished Back Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e – Deeply undercut relief standing on a plain polished face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiamonds All the Way Round\u003c\/strong\u003e – A single row following the full lotus-bud outline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Row Pavé Bail\u003c\/strong\u003e – Hinged, with a 6mm opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChain not included.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to order, turnaround time is typically 2-4 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Weight by Purity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePurity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprox.
