The snake chain is a serious chain, patient, tenacious, industrious--a meticulous performer. This is the dancer that never misses a step, with perfect pirouettes and sky-high leaps. It is a beam of moon light around your neck or wrist. The articulation gives the chain a fluid, muscular movement like its serpent namesake. Pieces of 14k Italian gold are hooked together and pressed into this round, 1.6 MM thick, 18 inch long, white gold chain. Gold becomes white when alloyed with nickel, copper, and zinc rather than with silver, copper and zinc. Pure gold is too soft and malleable for jewelry so it is mixed with alloys to add strength and durability. The clasp is a lobster claw clasp which is easy to manipulate and very secure.
