“It simply isn’t an adventure worth telling if there aren’t any dragons.”
–J.R.R. Tolkien
For the last ten years, Design Toscano has been creating and issuing a new, exclusive dragon Christmas ornament to help get you into the holiday spirit and add some winter magic to your home. This season is a time to connect with friends, family and loved ones and we are happy to be a small part of so many families’ holiday traditions.
We have a loyal group of customers, Gothic aficionados, dragon lovers, collectors, children and the young at heart who are delighted to add our one-of-a-kind annual collectable dragon ornaments to their tree year after year.
Dragons help us view the world through a window of mystery and wonder and whether you are discovering your first dragon ornament, or have been collecting for years, we strive to add some magic to your holiday memories and throughout the year with these unique mystical ornaments.
From old favorites, to this year’s exclusive new “Diamond Dragon” ornament, we thought you would like to take a trip down memory lane, passing through past years of our dragon collection. You just might find your new favorite along the way!
Our series of collectible, quality designer resin holiday dragon ornaments look amazing displayed alone or on their own gothic-themed tree. Be sure to feature them on sturdy tree branches or hang these ornaments from their own holders year-round as the ideal way to display this beautifully detailed, hand painted collection of 10 dragon ornaments.
Don’t worry, if you haven’t started collecting yet, it’s not too late!
