These [dragon ear cuffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distinctive-dragonthemed-books-dragonborn-features-illustrative-end-pages-a) by Marty Magic would make a fantastical accessory for fans of mythical creatures and fabled monsters. Whether you've been a fantastic beast fan since Harry Potter or you're a recent dragon convert thanks to Game of Thrones Daenerys Targaryen's ferocious pet, this ear cuff is a whimsical, [folklore-friendly piece of jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew).

The dragon wraps tightly around the left ear, looking as though it's ready to take off into flight or whisper in your ear. The [Elfin wrap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elsa-peretti1) doesn't require an ear peircing as it fastens similarly to a Bluetooth headset via a robust wire. This cuff is a dramatic winged adornment that's sure to turn heads each time you wear it.
