The Lenox globe is one of the oldest representations of the planet, dating back to the 16th Century. A cartographical quirk of the globe was to mark unknown territory with HC SVNT DRACONES. Translated from the Latin: Here Be Dragon.
Such is the enigma of the mythical dragon that it is a fitting representative of unknown, mysterious territories. This is true for a majority of cultures, from Western to Jewish to Asian, of whom this powerful, urgent beast is a part of their literatures and folklores.
In recognition of the universal appeal of the dragon, we at Mochishop have chosen this favoured mythical creature as the ambassador of our jewelry (jewellery), devoting an entire range to Mochishop dragon jewelry (jewellery).
We have focused, in particular, on the Oriental dragon and its depiction. This is because, in Chinese legend, the dragon is a benevolent creature and has become connoted with protective qualities as well as powerful ones. That is, the Oriental dragon acts as a guardian to protect the ones you love.
