 How they do it I haven't a clue. It comes with a matching jade stand. It's really a nice piece of workmanship. It measures approximately 4" in diameter and sits 5" tall on the stand. The dragon and phoenix are the perfect couple in Feng Shui. Dragon is "yang" while phoenix is "yin", and they complement each other in creating yin-yang balance to harvest successful matrimonial bliss. This celestial couple is the symbol of everlasting love. The Dragon and Phoenix couple brings not only strengthens relationships. It can even relight the fires of a kindling relationship with the fiery energy of the Phoenix. The perfect item as well for the single female or bachelor looking to find true love. Jade is the most important gem to the Orientals and is regarded as the ‘Stone of Heaven’. Prized for its healing powers and protective qualities, jade is said to assist in the quest for immortality. The Chinese character for jade resembles a capital ‘I’ with 3 lines across it – the top, middle and bottom. The top line represents Heaven, the middle for Mankind and the bottom line stands for Earth. Jade accessories are very common in Chinese families – many people wear their jade for life. Jade is said to be able to shield their owners from harm and enhance their health. This special combination Jade and Phoenix and Dragon couple bring out the best of all items. HOW ARE THEY MADE? The sphere is turned on a lathe then conical holes are drilled towards the center. The maker has a set of "L" shaped tools the one with the longest upright has the shortest cutter and the one with the shortest upright has the longest cutter. Starting with the longest tool he lowers it to the narrow bottom of each hole in turn and rotates it to cut the innermost ball free. Then he gets the second tool which does not reach so far down the hole but can cut a wider arc and separates the second ball. He continues working from the innermost to outermost shell. For obvious reasons, usually only the outermost balls are elaborately carved. The outer layer is twice as thick as the inner layers. This is because the two outer layers are fused together. The reason for this is that the outer layer with the dueling dragons is carved so deeply that if it were free moving it would be too fragile and shatter, so it has to be fused to the 2nd layer to make it strong enough to avoid breaking. The very inner ball at the center is also counted as a layer making up the total number of layers. Therefore counting the center ball and the other moveable layers will make up the total layers of the ball minus two layers, those remaining two layers are the ones fused together making up the outer shell. For example - an 18 layer ball will have 16 moveable layers (including the center ball) plus the 2 fused outer layers. This item will be shipped from Hong Kong.

This is due to individual styles from one artist to the next, or differences in pigments used from one day to the next in the shop that made the item.
Our bronze items are made in the old way - the lost wax method - and they are all "antique looking" .
