here is an beautiful Rhinestone and Enamel gold tone shoulder brooch.
it Measures 5" long ; 2-3/4" wide; and is 1-1/4" tall {from bottom of his claw to crown of his head}.
The body is a spiral of enamel that starts at his tail in a light green-yellow {{there appears to be some worn areas}} and the enamel graduates to dark green and through the spiral twist ad turn changes to blue and then ends at the base of the head with an almost purple.
The head, claws and fins are all pave rhinestone, with 2 green rhinestones for his eyes.
I don't know anything about his origin or the artist who designed him.
It is awesome! I love it! I think that is a Butler and Wilson. Google Butler and Wilson dragon brooch. ???? hope it helps!

Trey -1976 was a good year, I graduated from High School. thanks for the memories - Lori
Manikin thank you for your kind words, this one is very detailed and heavy I can only imagine it as a shoulder brooch, having this hang off a blouse or light weight cardigan would most likely hang very low and maybe tear the fabric. Thanks again. Lori
