Mythical Sterling Silver Dragons – Kieselstein-Cord’s Hallmark

Set into each wide temple is a hand-sculpted sterling silver dragon—an unmistakable emblem from Barry Kieselstein-Cord’s universe of fine, symbolic design. Known for working with 925 sterling silver, Barry built his name on sculptural pieces with heritage, mythology, and power.

The dragon—often appearing in his belt buckles, jewelry, and eyewear—is a symbol of wisdom, protection, and fierce independence. These particular dragons are done in high-relief casting, with fine detailing that reflects the artisanal craftsmanship of Kieselstein-Cord’s studio work.

Each piece was produced in limited quantities, with the dragon temple editions among the most sought after by collectors.

Design Notes:

• Oversized butterfly silhouette, bold yet elegant
• Signature hidden screw hinge system for a sleek, uninterrupted profile
• Sculpted temples with silver plaques set against tortoise acetate
• Original gradient lenses preserve the frame’s artistic intent and balance

Era & Relevance:

Dating to the early 2000s, this design reflects Kieselstein-Cord’s unique blend of American luxury and folklore. Pieces from this period—especially those featuring creature iconography—are now considered investment-grade collectibles, seen in auctions and fashion archives worldwide.
