Dragon Scale Shoulder Piece + Bracers

Rows of hand-cut vinyl scales curl and overlap across a shoulder shrug and a pair of corseted bracers, catching light with a holographic shimmer that makes them look freshly shed from something ancient. Charity Grace shapes each scale with heat to get that curled, reptilian texture, then layers them from large to small for a natural gradient. Pairs beautifully with a dragon scale corset for a full armor set that feels surprisingly lightweight.
