Breaking Through: A Lake-Green Dragon Pendant for the Entrepreneur Who Won’t Settle

His name is Daniel Reyes, a 37-year-old entrepreneur based in Denver, Colorado.

Five years ago, Daniel left his corporate job to chase a dream: building his own brand in the clean-tech space. Today, his company has grown from a three-person garage operation into a team of over 40, with clients across the country.

From the outside, it looks like the American Dream in full motion.

But on the inside?

“It’s getting harder to breathe,” he admitted. “I’ve built something real, but now I feel chained to it. There’s no space. No time. Just deadlines and pressure. I’m afraid I’m losing myself in the machine I created.”

Daniel didn’t come to us for decoration.

He came looking for a symbol of power, freedom, and the ability to rise above.

We chose a stunning lake-green jadeite—a rare, cool-toned gemstone with a soft translucency and layered shades of green. In natural light, this jade glows with misty undertones:

• Soft sage along the edges, like morning fog
• Deeper forest green concentrated in the center, giving it depth and strength
• A surface that feels like still water—quiet, yet alive

It reminded us of a hidden lake in the mountains—calm, clear, and quietly powerful.

From this material, our artisan carved a dragon pendant—a fierce and symbolic guardian in many Eastern cultures, associated with personal power, transformation, and the courage to break through.

The carving is titled “Dragon Roars Over Mountains”.

The dragon’s head rises upward in a bold arc, mouth open mid-roar.

The body coils with momentum, as if ready to break through clouds and sky.

The cool green of the jade, paired with the commanding posture of the dragon, creates a piece that is both grounded and majestic—a reminder of strength, movement, and the will to rise.

“It’s not just about business anymore,” Daniel said. “This reminds me I still have my own path, my own voice. Even in the chaos.”

At TATHATĀ, we believe jade isn’t just a symbol of tradition—it’s a statement of intention.

If you’re building something big—and need to remember the person behind the plan—

let us help you carve a symbol that grounds you.
